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.

    I lived near a CVS that was constantly targeted for crime. It’s closing this month, and I honestly can’t imagine how it stayed open this long.

    You can pretend it’s packaged bullshit, but until you live in a city and experience it first-hand, you’ll stay in your pretty make-believe world.

      They charge 85% markup on consumer shit.

      They aren’t closing because of crime. The ration of stolen items to sold items would have to be like 10 to 1.

      If half of their daily sales walked out the back door, they’d still be making money hand over fist.
