Also corporate liberty. Does In-N-Out have the right to refuse to sell to DoorDash couriers?

  Of course they do. So long as they're not using protected characteristics they can sell, or not sell, to who they like.

    The delivery person would need a shirt. And shoes.

  Probably not, but I don't personally want to see "unofficial" delivery services like these for reasons of quality control, food hygiene, and a desire to have a single point of responsibility for the product. If I order a Pizza from Dominos, the dude who delivers it is paid by, and represents Dominos. Therefore he is motivated to deliver quickly, to respond to any complaints I may have about the food or service, and to not spit in my food. The same is not true for a 3rd party delivery service. I can see that In-n-Out might be concerned that their brand image could suffer at the hands of substandard delivery services.

  Yes. Assuming it's only because they are doordash couriers, and not for any protected reason (race, gender, etc. In CA, even unconventional dress is protected). Note, however, that if companies conspired together to refuse service to doordash couriers, that would be an antitrust violation known as "concerted refusal to deal".

    I agree, but it would probably only be an antitrust issue if they refused to deal with DoorDash specifcally; if they maintained a clearing house for blocking everyone who resold their goods without permission, that would probably be okay, right? At the same time, good luck trying to determine which orders are DoorDash...
