Is In-N-Out skipping this guest receipt number when you place your order?

There’s one number In-N-Out customers might not see on their receipt — the number 69.
For the record:
2:35 p.m. April 25, 2025A previous version of this article was erroneously based on a social media post from an In-N-Out parody account. The restaurant has not made a public statement.
In a social media post, an account that focuses on news about the famous restaurant said “In-N-Out will not give you guest number 69 on your receipt. After guest number 68, it will skip to guest number 70.”
When someone asked why in the comments, the account replied: “Why do you think?” (Hint: It refers to a bedroom activity.)
Customers can still get guest number 169 in the drive-thru window.
The company did not return requests for comment.
In-N-Out isn’t the only company that may be potentially skipping certain numbers.. Many hotels, residential buildings and offices will skip the 13th floor due to the superstitious belief that the number is bad luck. They’ll label the 13th floor a different number or go from 12 to 14.
Some In-N-Out customers were discreetly using a hack to get a discount on one of the chain’s secret menu items, known as the “Flying Dutchman.”
One man from Tennessee found the number “666” on his W-2 tax form and immediately quit his job.
“I cannot accept this number. If you accept that number, you sell your soul to the devil,” Walter Slonopas, 52, who was a maintenance worker at Contech Casting told ABC News.
