It might be like the Chick Fila boycott. Here, on the boycott day there was a two plus hour wait at Chick Fila. People said it was fun. Kind of a highly social anti-protest. The people I know did not get any food, The Chick Fila they went to ran out of food before the line ran through. My friends were still glad they went, they said it was fun.

In and OUt may get swamped the day to "boycott" goes into effect.

1. The article you cited, said people are THREATENING to do it, not actually doing it.

3. The source is a local NBC affiliate in LA. I have no way to know what their political affiliation is, but it is not an NBC source, it is a local station, who is an NBC affiliate. (VERY Different)


The source you quoted though, they did a pretty good job, so it looks like they are like NBC. Fair. They reported a story, that some people (assumed by you to be libs, and probably so) are threatening to boycott.

It was you who took it and ran with it to fit your agenda. They did not say that it is some sort of widespread movement among a significant number of left-leaning people. YOu made that stuff up, or interpreted the news to fit your agenda.

And finally, we need to know: Is the mainstream media reliable or not. Either they are, and you live with it, or they are not, and you quit cherry-picking their stories that fit your agenda. Make a stand man!!!!
So you are admitting that liberals threaten and don’t follow through . I probably agree with you on that .
I never said that it’s all liberals , but 100% of these people ARE liberals .
NBC is very liberal they made a $200 million investment in Vox Media just one example .

I don’t know if it was so good because I just got done tubing down the river, or if it’s just so good because it IS, but man that was a good fast food burger! Whataburger is good when you happen to go to a well managed one, but unfortunately those seem to be rare these days.
I first ate In-N-Out in the 1970s because their second location wasn't too far from where I was growing up. It was the best fast food burger then and it still is now in So Cal. Almost 50 years later, their burgers and menu are exactly the same. It's about keeping it simple with fresh ingredients. No one else has come close in doing the same thing as they do.
When I went to college, I knew people that would drive from San Diego to LA area just to eat there on a whim, and that's not a lie. Back then there were only a hand full of In-N-Outs and all in the San Gabriel Valley Pomona area.

From the article: "Many may argue that In-N-Out Burger has the most loyal customers. However, many of them are reportedly boycotting the burger chain after it donated $25,000 to the California Republican Party."
If you are going to be upset about that, be upset when another company does the same to a local Democratic Party.

Owner, not owners.

The entire chain is owned by one person, Lynsi Snyder, the only grandchild of founders Harry and Esther Snyder.

She inherited the remainder of the company that she didn't already own on her 35th birthday.

It doesn't upset me at all. It will go the same way Chicfilet thing went, no where. Besides, In-N-OUT is so popular and constantly busy, they can well afford to lose a handful of customers due to political ignorance.
I know several people that would eat there more often but the lines are too long.

Thanks. I knew she owned it. I saw a special about her on TV a few years ago.

Many may argue that In-N-Out Burger has the most loyal customers. However, many of them are reportedly boycotting the burger chain after it donated $25,000 to the California Republican Party.
According to a public filing on the California Secretary of State’s website, In-N-Out made the multi-thousand dollar donation Monday.

One Twitter user tweeted, "This really bums me out because I’m a regular customer... BUT I cannot spent money with a company that supports the current GOP! #BoycottInNOut."

ONE Twitter user tweeted and that means "Liberals boycotting"?

Fake News!

Yeah shes on her fourth marriage which is kind of interesting at 36 .
She doesn’t to many media appearances but I don’t blame her either .
Probably figured wants the point . Not like it’s some new company and she owns the whole thing .

Free Speech and people spending their money the way they want is so unfair!!

If you publically support a repulsive political party, some folks will choose to not associate with you.

Are't you folks all about freedom of association? Or does that only apply when you want to discriminate against [insert minority boogey-man of the month]?
