re: Fries up. Managers at In-N-Out Burger Are Making the Big Bucks.

Why would you pay 160 when you could get a line of competent people ready to sign up for 90, 80, 70

Competent does not equal best. I've eaten their burgers and like some others are saying....it's not God's gift to the world. Good burger, but not head and tails above the rest. But you put a good manager that differentiates the whole experience from say McDonalds or Burger King and now it makes that burger that might be a little better seem as though it's a lot better. You want to be the best, hire the best.

Same with CFA. I personally don't think the food is amazing or anything. But you are going to have a much better experience eating there. They are paying more to give you that quality. But it pays off with lines around the block.

You can tell a lot by the management culture in the staff, cleanliness of the restaurant, and preparation of the food.

That's what I'm referring to. I think the food only takes them so far. The other stuff the management does to stand apart is what's important. Because I don't even really like In-N-Out or CFA's food more than any other fast food. But the experience is no doubt better.

Not every part of California is the Bay Area or LA county, you could live large on a 140k in many places here.

Olive Garden managers were making 150k in the nineties.

I’d also rather eat the snot out of a dead animal’s nose over microwaved Olive Garden.

Burger is good. Fries suck. I do not want an entire damn onion slice on my burger.

Every location I’ve been to they ask when you order if you want the onions on your burger. Every damn time. You can’t complain about the onions if you tell them you want onions

It's clearly stated on their menu they put onions on it. Just say no onions

I agree. It's the most overrated fast food. They have dank burgers, but I agree fries suck, super limited options, and you have to pay for everything separately. That being said, the way they market themselves is very smart. There's a reason why they are hesitant to expand. It's because all across the east coast, mid west and down south, people talk about In N Out but can't actually go, and People on the west coast feel like it's their thing, so it gets hyped up. But there are a lot better fast food and burger joints out there imo.

Even if you live in San Francisco or New York City, $160k/year is a lot of money, and more than enough for a single person, or married without kids.

$160k is living very well anywhere in CA unless you're an idiot that can't manage finances.

The food sucks but it is not brought in precooked then reheated.
