"I read that an internal memo from In-N-Out Burger revealed a new policy preventing workers in five states from wearing masks at work unless they provided a medical note; the chain’s chief operating officer Denny Warnick told SF Gate, “At In-N-Out Burger, we’ve communicated with our smiles since 1948, and a smiling Associate helps to set a warm and inviting atmosphere in our stores. [...] We believe that wearing a mask literally adds a barrier to communication — much of which is nonverbal — and promotes a more distant and disconnected environment.” The policy goes into effect on August 14 in Arizona, Colorado, Nevada, Texas, and Utah." - Virali Dave
