Unless there is objection, I'm going to remove discussion about "planned In-N-Out locations". They are at least supported by refs, but Wikipedia isn't a crystal ball, and it doesn't really add value. tedder (talk) 17:36, 5 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Under the "Store Design and layout section," this text was there: "Notable "unique" In-N-Out locations include the store on Fisherman's Wharf, San Francisco, the restaurant in Westwood, Los Angeles and the restaurant in Santa Clarita, a suburb of Los Angeles.

As the city of Santa Clarita is not a part of the city of Los Angeles, I have changed the text to read: Notable "unique" In-N-Out locations include the store on Fisherman's Wharf, San Francisco, the restaurant in Westwood, Los Angeles and the restaurant in Santa Clarita, north of Los Angeles. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.128.76.84 (talk) 07:49, 31 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

It would be great if someone could add a review of food quality at In-n-Out. In particular, do they use corn-fed or grass-fed beef? What kind of cheese do they use?

It's the cheese from cows. Pretty good stuff. Steveozone (talk) 04:19, 30 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

This article has serious issues with a lack of citations, as noted in my edit summaries. As well, footnotes 21-29 have no bylines, or publication names, and it's unclear if the dates are publication dates or access dates. --Tenebrae (talk) 15:59, 7 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Well, since accessdates say "accessed on ..." they are not access dates and I am unsure what you mean by byline. Do you mean titles? Easily fixed, why didn't you? --Jeremy (blah blah • I did it!) 19:22, 7 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I updated the text in the opening summary regarding distribution centers, adding Phoenix, Arizona and Draper, Utah with citations. -- Firedogbme (talk) 11:29, 12 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I hope one day the company decides to open its doors to citizens of the East coast. I moved out here one year ago and I miss In-N-Out. I am glad they always use local products and hope that if they open more stores it stays that way. :) Rox1286 (talk) 03:33, 15 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

This edit was recently added. While it is sourced, these lawsuits are a dime a dozen in corporations and this one has no material impact on the company as a whole (and the accusation was just made). I deleted it per WP:NOTNEWS but would be interested in a discussion about including this content in this encyclopedia. Thanks, 72Dino (talk)

very interesting deletion, Google News shows lots of links to this lawsuit. Anyone familiar with the employees of In-N-Out has probably suspected something like this for a long time, it is a quite noticeable difference, even shockingly different, from e.g. their other fast food competitors. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 167.191.42.7 (talk) 01:04, 30 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

You may ultimately be proven right, 167***, but the point is that an encyclopedia is not an investigative report, nor a newspaper. I'm with you that there are unique aspects to the corporate culture of In N Out, but it remains to be seen whether those unique aspects include the discriminatory practices alleged in this lawsuit. There are at any given moment several wrongful termination/discrimination lawsuits against any large employer, so the filing (and the accompanying press release) are not really shocking at all. I think that to avoid undue weight, we should probably hold off on this one to see whether the lawsuit really ends up affecting the company in any significant way.
