Default For the first time ever, In-N-Out closes one of its stores

Pretty sad state of affairs, they should just burn that part of Oakland to the ground.

In-N-Out is closing its only location in Oakland, California, because of "ongoing issues with crime," the company said Tuesday.

While several locations have been relocated, the company has never closed a location in its 75-year history.

"We feel the frequency and severity of the crimes being encountered by our customers and associates leave us no alternative," Chief Operating Officer Denny Warnick said in a statement Tuesday.

It's amazing though.

They opened one about 20 minutes from me (in Woodburn, OR) a few years back and to this day, the drive through is ALWAYS backed up for hundreds of feet.

I don't get it. Their food is OK but certainly not worthy of that kind of hassle

I would blame those who voted for depends joe, as ciriminals now feel nothing will be prosecuted, there are millions of instances to prove such.

A vote for depends joe was / is a vote AGAINST THE U.S. OF A.

I think a key to their success is that they only hire topless strippers to take your money at the drive-thrus!!

I agree, they opened two out here about four years ago and they still have long lines. Food is average at best but then again I don't eat a lot of burgers.

After hearing the hype, I tried it when we were out on the left coast a while back. I don't understand the obsession with the place. It's OK but definitely nothing special.

I'm just shocked that a democrat-run city has that bad of a crime problem. Who would have thought it?

Oakland has been a shithole for decades. Should just build a high wall around it and let BLM run it.

Hell, it's been over 10 years for several Utah locations and they are still packed. 5 Guys is better.

I'll agree that Joe is light on crime, but please tell me what he did to make this easier for criminals in Oakland.

I had to close two stores in that area in 2002 and 2003 for the same reason and I'm pretty sure Joe wasn't in the White House. Oakland has been a hell hole for decades, well before Biden. This is on the state and Newsom.

When I was working from 2015 to 2020, I took the train into Santa Clara to work. During the train ride, I had the enjoyment of looking at the WORST city, Oakland. What a ****ing shit hole I kid you not. Once I saw this for several days, I would simply lower the shade on my window. No wonder the pro football and baseball teams left this shit hole.


It's been run by libtards for so long, the only way to fix it would be to nuke the entire area. Remember Libby Schaaf? The mayor of this shit hole from 2015 through 2023. She bumped heads with Trump on rounding up illegals in the city. I wish Trump would have arrested her on interfering with federal policies.

As a resident of Oakland CA for most of 1969-2003, I can say with confidence that the city has been run with a corrupt liberal agenda since the mid 1960's. It's proximity to Berkeley, its large black population who were taught to be irresponsible victims, and its rabid support for the Oakland Raiders has hit a flash point. Even 30 years ago, blacks were given a 'pass' on committing crimes due to white guilt/political correctness. It has only gotten worse. By the time I left in 2003, they were doing donuts around police cars shooting their pistols out the windows and the cops simply ran when they got a chance. I worked with the OPD on street racing and sideshow enforcement, and they were not allowed to impound the cars for more than a night then. I stated they should be able to crush the cars as Los Angeles had been doing. Also, by the time I left, it was no longer allowed to describe a black criminal on TV or radio if a bank had been robbed or a person had been murdered or carjacked. Instead, it was "suspect is described as a medium build male in his 30's." I'm not kidding. Hopefully Oakland will come back, but they've lost SO much by rewarding criminals and punishing taxpayers I don't think it'll happen any time soon.

Not really sure why ANYONE in here challenges or asks for validation for any of my posts.
You have posted many times without knowing the FULL consequences of your vote, many have provided negatives, you have ignored ALL.

This one is simple, soros is a PIECE OF SHIT, biden IS A PIECE OF MORE HUGER SHIT, biden facilitates socialism, soros is a pathetic socialist that leverages the government for huge wealth,,, everyone should already know this.

As DA, Price supports lowering all penalties and sentences to probation or the lowest-level prison term. The Berkeley Scanner in March released a leaked document from her office showing that "almost all felonies, including those that are serious or violent, will now be probation eligible.” She also promised to “address racial disparities and ‘disrupt the system.’”

Left-wing financier George Soros supported Price to the tune of over $130,000 in 2018, according to the East Bay Express. Frustrated locals are currently pushing an effort to recall Price from office, according to local reports.

Great speech but not an answer to my question, Oakland has been a hell hole well before Biden. He may not be the person who will fix crime but he didn't cause the crime in Oakland.

You asked about what made it easier, meaning current era, you did not reference an earlier period.

The fact that the da is a soros lapdog AND that the biden crime family is knee-deep with soros is a MORE than adequate explanation.

Yes, acknowledged that oakland was, is AND will always be a shithole.
soros dictating that criminal activity will no longer be prosecuted will continue to make it a bigger shithole.

depends joe endorses this, those who voted for depends joe supported it.

Much easier to agree when one is objective.

So what you are saying is that the pedophile is not necessarily the problem here - it is the democrats in general that foster high crime shit holes.
