The West Coast fast food chain In-N-Out Burger recently announced its intention to prohibit masking for its employees unless they receive a doctor’s note, according to a leaked memo and an official statement by In-N-Out’s Chief Operating Officer Denny Warnick.

According to the statement by Mr. Warnick, the company reasons that “wearing a mask literally adds a barrier to communication—much of which is nonverbal—and promotes a more distant and disconnected environment.”
