In-N-Out Burger will close its first location in its 75-year history due to a wave of car break-ins and robberies at its only restaurant in Oakland, California.
In-N-Out Burger says it will close its first location in its 75-year history due to a wave of car break-ins, property damage, theft and robberies affecting customers and employees alike at its only restaurant in Oakland, California.
The fast-food burger joint in a busy corridor near Oakland International Airport will close on March 24 because even though the company has taken “repeated steps to create safer conditions our Customers and Associates are regularly victimized,” Denny Warnick, In-N-Out’s chief operating officer, said in a statement Wednesday.
Oaklander here. Shit has really gone downhill over the past decade. Tents started popping up about 15 years ago, and now some parts of town honestly make District 9 look nice. I see stuff in this down that I never thought I would see in an American city.
Edit:
Context: this is what I drive through to get to the hardware store. This street view is 3 years old. It’s actually worse now.
In and out owner was denying COVID procedure at a point, right? Suspect this is less warranted action and just another nut job carrying water for the crazy, hate machine on the right.
Didn't I hear this location was right by the A's stadium, and the A's are leaving, correct?
So maybe a business failing being covered by "out of control crime" just like how target and the retail Association got caught lying about the stores they were closing the to "out of control crime". Then it turns out... Oh, each of the stores they marked to close actually had other nearby target stores with higher reported crime rates, but what the stores marked for closure DID have in common was that they had lower sales.
Retail boils down to a real estate speculation guessing game. Executives are typically unqualified, privileged pretenders . They made the wrong guesses on store location, because they are incompetent, and now they are exploiting this moment - just like they price gouge through COVID. It's all a play to cover their failures.
And in Canada, at least one Tim Horton's restaurant had to close dine-in because of violent drug addicts and homeless people making it unsafe for everyone. 😵
I thought that the whole "bay area is getting worse" was a front propagated by big businesses trying to hide their corporate losses to shareholders. Weird huh
