In-N-Out serves up the happiest employees in the industry, says report
A new survey is highlighting a restaurant chain that provides service with a smile. In-N-Out Burger has claimed the top spot for having the happiest employees among America's major restaurant chains. Financial services company William Blair investigated Glassdoor data from the past 11 years, evaluating 530,000 reviews with about 90 different restaurant brands, according to Nation's Restaurant News. The firm found that 91% of In-N-Out employees would recommend their job to a friend. George Charlesworth, vice president of operations for In-N-Out Burger, told Fox News Digital that the California-based chain is honored "to be recognized with such a high satisfaction rating, a result that comes directly from our associate family." "Our founders, Harry and Esther Snyder, focused on serving the freshest, highest-quality products and providing the friendliest service to our customers," he also said. "From our beginning in 1948, the Snyders wanted to take the best care of not only our customers but also our associates." This marks the 10th year that the fast-food chain has landed in the top 10 for highest employee satisfaction. In 2024, 86% of In-N-Out employees were willing to recommend their job to others. Charlesworth credited the leadership of In-N-Out owner and president Lynsi Snyder. "We're committed to offering a positive work environment, higher starting wages, great benefits and opportunities to develop and grow," Charlesworth said. "Many of our associates have been with In-N-Out for decades, carrying the time-honored values and practices established by our founders, ensuring every customer and burger is consistently served with the In-N-Out signature smile," he also said. "We are deeply grateful for our exceptional family of associates and thankful for the excellent job they do." Coming in second place was Louisiana-based chicken joint Raising Cane's. About 82% of employees reported they would recommend their job to a friend. In third place was Dutch Bros., with Chuy's taking fourth place. Rounding out the top five is San Francisco Bay area-based Peet's Coffee & Tea. Fox News Digital reached out to William Blair for comment.

"No Kings" protests planned across Southern California on Saturday
While President Trump attends a military parade for the 250th anniversary of the U.S. Army on Saturday, which coincides with his 79th birthday, hundreds of protests are planned nationwide. The movement, "No Kings," is designed as a "nationwide day of defiance" in counter to Mr. Trump's parade, according to organizers. "On June 14—Flag Day—President Trump wants tanks in the street and a made-for-TV display of dominance for his birthday," the "No Kings" website reads. "A spectacle meant to look like strength. But real power isn't staged in Washington. It rises up everywhere else." WASHINGTON, DC - JUNE 09: Marine One lands at the White House with U.S. President Donald Trump behind workers putting up a riser in front of the White House ahead of the Army's 250th birthday parade and celebration on June 09, 2025 in Washington, DC. The U.S. Army will mark its 250th anniversary with a parade along the National Mall that will include 6,500 troops, 150 vehicles and 50 aircraft. Kayla Bartkowski / Getty Images In response to the planned gatherings, Mr. Trump told reporters that he doesn't "feel like a king." "I have to go through hell to get stuff approved," he said. Organizers say nonviolence is the "core principle" of gatherings and pleaded with attendees to leave weapons at home and de-escalate any conflicts. The "No Kings" protests are scheduled in all 50 states, parts of Canada, Mexico, South America, Europe and even Africa. Dozens of protests are planned across Southern California on Saturday in response to the military parade being held in Washington D.C.

No Kings Day protesters could top 75K in NYC, as NYPD, Port Authority increase presence
More than 1,500 'No Kings Day' rallies are expected to disrupt hundreds of cities in all 50 states Saturday, protesting President Trump as the Army's 250th anniversary military parade takes place in Washington, DC. A map on shows planned demonstrations across the US and Canada in what organizers call 'a national day of action and mass mobilization in response to the increasing authoritarian excesses and corruption of the Trump administration.' Jamie Bauer, a representative of No Kings, told The Post that crowds could exceed 75,000 in New York City alone. Advertisement 7 New York City protesters could exceed 75,000 as 'No Kings Day' rallies are expected to disrupt hundreds of cities in all 50 states Saturday — protesting President Trump as the Army's 250th anniversary military parade takes place in Washington, DC. A No King's demonstration was also held in NYC in April (above). In the summer of 2020, the largest protest over the death of George Floyd drew 25,000 people. A law enforcement source told The Post they 'have to be prepared for those kinds of numbers on Saturday.' The Port Authority is also beefing up security at the George Washington Bridge and Lincoln and Holland tunnels, as well as bus terminals and PATH stations. Advertisement The No Kings site notes that 'folks should stay on sidewalks and not block any traffic.' 7 More than 1,500 rallies are planned across the US as well as Canada. The law-enforcement source said the NYPD is less concerned about planned groups like Rise and Resist and more worried about unannounced potential 'troublemakers' in the mix. Here's where and when No Kings Day events are scheduled in NYC: Manhattan Advertisement The city main march planned is set to take place at 2 p.m. EST at Bryant Park and move down Fifth Avenue to Madison Square Park. 7 NYC's main protest will begin in Bryant Park. Tamara Beckwith A second 'spur march' will form one block north, at Grace Plaza. It will be 'a New Orleans-inspired funeral second line parade as a unique artistic delegation,' according to organizers. Another rally is planned at Columbia University, specifically for Columbia faculty, staff, students and alumni, at 1 p.m. outside the school's gate at 116th and Broadway. Demonstrators then plan to 'travel' to Bryant Park, and organizers have instructed attendees to bring a MetroCard. Advertisement A spokesperson for Columbia told The Post the demonstration is expected to occur off school grounds, and therefore is being managed by the NYPD. 7 A No Kings demonstration is planned for the gates outside Columbia University, which has seen many pro-Palestine rallies since Hamas's Oct. 7, 2023 attacks in Israel. James Keivom Brooklyn A No Kings Brooklyn protest is scheduled for 1 p.m. at a 'private' location, reported by Patch to be at Cadman Plaza West and Johnson Street. A stationary rally is also planned at Grand Army Plaza at 1p.m. Queens Demonstrators will meet at 12:30 p.m. at MacDonald Park in Forest Hills before marching along Queens Boulevard to Maple Grove Park, where a second rally is planned. 7 A No Kings demonstration, including a protester from Queens, took place in Longmont, Colorado, in April. Chris Goodwin/desrowVISUALS/Shutterstock Staten Island At 1 p.m., a No Kings protest is planned at 1698 Victory Boulevard, between Fairview Avenue and Manor Road, in Castleton Corners. No Kings is orchestrated by the 50501 Movement — short for 50 protests, 50 states, one movement — a grassroots group that reportedly formed on Reddit. They have held several No Kings rallies this year, including in on President's Day. Advertisement 'The No Kings movement is committed to a non-violent, peaceful expression of our horror at this administration's blatant and dangerous disregard for the Constitution,' Bauer said. 'The NYPD has been respectful of our first amendment rights in the past, and we don't expect that to change.' Long Island protests are planned in Port Washington, Mineola, Huntington, Babylon, Patchogue, Port Jefferson, Riverhead, Hampton Bays, Sag Harbor, Orient and East Hampton. 7 There have already been several No Kings rallies this year, including this one in Philadelphia. AP Nearby marches will take place in Weehawken, Yonkers and Jersey City. Advertisement Other 'flagship' rallies are planned in Philadelphia, Chicago, Houston, Phoenix, Charlotte and Atlanta. 'From city blocks to small towns, from courthouse steps to community parks, we're taking action to reject authoritarianism—and show the world what democracy really looks like,' organizers declared on their website. Protest organizers have dubbed the Army parade, which coincides with President Donald Trump's 79th birthday, 'a made-for-TV display of dominance for [Trump's] birthday.' That event, which will travel down the National Mall, reportedly will include uniforms, arms and vehicles from every major American war, starting with the Revolutionary War and including Abrams tanks and P-51 Mustangs. Advertisement 7 Saturday's protests will be held at the same time as a Washington, DC, parade celebrating the US Army's 250th anniversary. The day is also President Donald Trump's birthday. AP No Kings pledged not to hold a rally in DC, after President Trump warned that protesters at the military parade would face 'very heavy force.' 'Instead of allowing this birthday parade to be the center of gravity, we will make action everywhere else the story of America that day: people coming together,' the group's site says. Advertisement While there is no mention of masks on the No Kings site, attendees are encouraged to sign up for individual protests with their name, email and phone number. Organizers emphasized 'a commitment to nonviolent action' on the signup, saying, 'We expect all participants to seek to de-escalate any potential confrontation with those who disagree with our values.'
