      They do that to keep people awake. Customers and workers alike. That’s just what I’ve heard from the workers, though.

        It’s also a pretty common lighting choice in just about any office building or commercial entity. When you’re as big as a giant fast food franchise, I can see the likelihood someone might have done the research necessary to conclude it was worth getting this lighting specifically to avoid sleeping customers and staff but I think it’s also quite likely they’re just cheap.

    Their fries are always so chalky and dry, they legitimate taste fucking disgusting. Burgers are amazing, though.

      Thank god I’m not the only one. I didn’t grow up on them, being from the east coast, and I think it tastes like a dressed up McDonald’s burger (animal style included). It’s just not great. Hell, Freddy’s and Culvers is better.

      Oh their fries are absolute trash, that I agree on.

      For me, it’s the Flying Dutchman Animal Style. The best fast food sandwich. I even ask for extra chopped chilis and the staff is so friendly and more than willing to oblige.

      One time I asked for an extra slice of cheese and they gave me three. I said, “Wow, three for free!” and the nice friendly In-N-Out worker laughed and said, “I’m going to call you 3-for-free!”.

      Now the staff greets me with “hey it’s 3-for-free!” and ALWAYS give me three slices. It’s such a fun and cool atmosphere at my local In-N-Out restaurant, I go there at least 3 times a week for lunch and a large milkshake, 1-2 times for breakfast on the weekend, and maybe once for dinner when I’m in a rush but want a great meal that is affordable, fast, and can match my daily nutritional needs.

      I even dip my fries in milkshake, it’s delicious! What a great restaurant.

      I get them in the burger. Double-double with a whole grilled onion and chopped chilies, animal style fries. It’s what makes the world go round. Almost forgot to mention, toasted bun to help keep it from falling apart.

        The fries are the worst. They put no seasoning on them and they are never crispy. I don’t get how the place is so popular. I want to like them, because they have great prices, and give fairer wages to employees than almost all other fast food places, but it’s just not very good.

        They seem to be doing fine without me, though. I work across the parking lot from one, and it is packed for every single hour they are open.

    All the comments about the burger sauce on the fries acting like they’ve never heard of using thousand island dressing as fry sauce. Mayo, ketchup, relish (preferably dill). I don’t know why In-n-Out calls that animal style though… I’ve only ever known animal style to mean dipped in mustard and fried so it gets a crunchy shell. Not “absolutely drenched in sauce.”

    And speaking as moderator: I’m not sure I want to keep fast food posts up here, but I also like being fair to the fact Lemmy is small and we don’t want to get all up our own butts like the Reddit sub. What does the community itself think?

    I dunno what it is, but their fries (animal style with Chiles, or plain) seem to really upset my guts, consistently. I suspect it’s their oil, but so far as I know, it’s just regular peanut oil…
