Californians Flood City Halls Demanding Their Tax Refunds Paid in 'In-N-Out Burgers'

In a bizarre twist of fiscal policy, thousands of Californians have flocked to municipal buildings this week wielding receipts and demanding their tax refunds be paid exclusively in In-N-Out Burger gift cards. The protest, dubbed "The Golden State's Late-Night Munchies Rebellion," began when a viral meme showed a taxpayer holding up a 1040 form with the caption, "The government took my Animal Style fries, so now I want my money in double-doubles." The irony? While the IRS is still processing returns, local In-N-Out stands reported a 200% spike in "secret menu" orders from city workers. Economists are baffled, but one protester summed it up: "At least with a burger, I know my tax dollars are going straight to my stomach."
