DeSantis holds call with In-N-Out Burger president

TAMPA (WFLA) – Gov. DeSantis held a call with the president of In-N-Out Burger Lynsi Snyder-Ellingson on Monday with talks of the burger chain coming to the Sunshine State as a result of the state’s COVID policies.

The news of the call was made public following the release of the governor’s schedule on Monday.

Florida CFO Jimmy Patronis has pushed forward the idea of the restaurant to make a move to Florida after fighting back against San Francisco’s vaccine passport policy.

“Why wouldn’t In-N-Out want to come to the bastion of freedom that we call the State of Florida?” Patronis said in October.

On Oct. 14, the only In-N-Out in San Francisco was closed for several days after repeatedly refusing to follow that city’s public health mandate which required customers who wanted to dine indoors show their vaccination cards or proof they had tested negative for the virus in the past 72 hours.

Just more gratuitous shit-stirring by DeSantis and Florida Republicans.

but businesses are coupable as well. Nevertheless, they move out, and others move in. Sigh, the circle of life.

I would say good riddance to them. I've always liked their burgers but will never eat there again because of their stance in this matter.
