Behind the In-N-Out Counter

FVHS students Tess Busey (’13), Josh Frazier (’14), and Ricky Udink (’13), all have one thing in common: they are employees at In-N-Out.

Although none of them have had jobs prior to In-N-Out, associates and managers treat them with respect, despite their young age.

“… To get the job there you have to be really friendly and out-going so everyone treats each other with respect and kindness,” stated Frazier.

Besides a friendly environment and a fun atmosphere, In-N-Out also offers fair wages.

Busey said, “I don’t feel that we are paid just sufficiently, I feel that we are very well taken care of financially.”

Frazier also added, “I think I get paid well because I’m seventeen and I get paid $10 to $15 an hour.” In fact, most fast food places, even restaurants, pay the meager minimum wage of $8 an hour. In-N-Out far exceeds the usual payroll.

However, the high pay comes at a cost. In-N-Out is crowded every day of the week. There are lines all the way out the door and cars winding through the drive-thru. With so much work and stress it could be hard for these students to manage their time, but In-N-Out is generous with employees’ schedules.

“Since I’m a student I only work part time… they’re really good about working around your schedule. They let you have priorities other than just work,” said Udink.

While many high school students nap or sit on Facebook for hours after school, these three exceptional students work hard to earn their keep, and In-N-Out treats them with the respect and satisfaction that they deserve.

    1. You can go to the location that you want a job at and talk to the manager. They have certain times during the year that they hire so if you give them your information then they should let you know when they’re hiring. If you know people that work there, that would help you.
