In-N-Out: Not for neighbors

In-N-Out Burger might be too popular for its own good. In Arcadia, some merchants complain that the line of cars at the burger joint makes it hard for them to do business, according to the Star-News:

It's mealtime and the line of cars waiting to order double-doubles from In-N-Out Burger on Santa Anita Avenue spills out of its driveway and runs into the street.

At the edge of the alley dividing In-N-Out from Goldstein's Bagel Bakery, a large sign proclaims: "Please Do Not Block our Neighbor's Driveways."

On Tuesday night, a single driver waited several minutes to leave Goldstein's because other drivers ignored this and two other signs asking them to leave openings for the two driveways at the bagel shop.

But Wednesday afternoon, a day after Goldstein threatened to sue In-N-Out for "millions of dollars," the restaurant sent two red-aproned employees to take food orders from the sidewalk and another to keep cars from blocking Goldstein's driveway.
