1. damn I could go for some Chipotle right now

Even at $9 that's not too bad. I'll have a water.

[LeftInTX]

2. I'm heart broken for this stock broker, who likes to eat at Chipotle

[Nevilledog]

38. And lives in a million dollar home, and enjoyed a $16,000 PPP loan.

[LeftInTX]

41. Oh gosh. All I could see what a screenshot of a few paragraphs..LOL

[greatauntoftriplets]

3. Forget the kleenex...

I've got this. House prices in Hinsdale run from the upper six figures to well over a million. He's being an asshole.

[GoCubsGo]

36. It's upper middle class.

A number of local pro sports figures live or have lived there, as well, among other higher income earners. Nine bucks is probably chump change for that guy.

I have no doubt Chipotle jacked up their prices there, because it's Hindsdale, and not Bellwood or Maywood.

[greatauntoftriplets]

37. It certainly is.

I don't live too far from there.

[SergeStorms]

4. For 50 cents this doorknob....

walked out of a perfectly good restaurant to go home and sulk?

Go eat a TV dinner at home, you whining little snowflake.

[canetoad]

5. What's Chipotle? nt

[dchill]

6. You win.

[Cha]

16. lol

[littlemissmartypants]

21. Exactly.

[Grokenstein]

7. A virus that attacks the large intestine.

Remember this one?

[canetoad]

9. That was a beautiful animation

I wish it could change, so that folks really thought about what they eat.

Unfortunately it wont. An impoverished person is looking for bang for their buck. Warmth, satisfaction, full belly. Nutrition comes last. I am offended when bottles of wine sell for $500 or more.

I'm offended when 'exclusive' steakhouses cover their eye fillets with gold leaf.

I'm doubly offended when a chain food producer or restaurant pays it's employees a pittance. All in the name of keeping prices down and becoming a sector magnate.

It fucking stinks. Right now, I won't cast a blanket aspersion on GMO. It has its place. It can do good. Those who insisist on NO gmo are possibly as blinded as anti-vaxxers.

Sorry buddy, didn't intend to rant:

10. Chipotle is a Mexican fast food chain

I don't like their food....

[canetoad]

11. Thanks

Learn something new everyday.

[murielm99]

13. My daughter brought me there.

I did not like their food, either.

Also, they had a e. coli outbreak, in 2016, I believe. I had e.coli some years ago. It is life threatening and miserable.

I think they had the outbreak because they do all the food prep away from the individual restaurants. They send the cut and prepared ingredients along to the restaurants. Too many hands are touching things. The transportation of the ingredients can cause more hazards to develop.

[iemanja]

44. It's a fast casual restaurant chain

Sort of Mexicahish.

[dchill]

8. Steak burrito is $10.40 right now in Lancaster, PA.

I don't eat there, anyway, but it seems like Chicago has a better price.

[JI7]

12. The burritos at Chipotle are enough for 2 people or 2 meals

Same with the bowl .

[pacheen]

14. Jesus Christ!

He lives in Hinsdale, a very beautiful ritzy suburb, and he won’t eat at chipotle no more because they raised the price of his sandwich a buck?

[Buns_of_Fire]

15. Hasn't anyone started a GoFundMe for that poor man?

Reminds me of that yuppie couple a few years ago who were whining about not being able to make ends meet on a combined salary of $400,000 or so. It broke my heart.

Wait until he sees what a side of guacamole is going to cost him.

[dchill]

17. No. I'm too busy worrying about Aaron!

[Captain Zero]

22. Maybe the students at Wharton who think U.S. average incomes are 6 figures

could start a go fund me for him.

[DFW]

18. Let me get my facts straight, here

This guy lives in an affluent suburb, and goes to a fast food place he goes to, by his own admission, maybe five times a year, and freaks out because a sandwich big enough for two has gone up from $8.50 to $9.00?

This must be one of those guys who will drive 65 miles to another gas station because gas is one cent cheaper per gallon than it is where he lives. Someone should send him to Switzerland, where a medium coffee at Starbucks costs more than his burrito back home. Remind him to pack his heart medicine before he leaves.

[LeftInTX]

42. Someone in my neighborhood was complaining about the price of gas

The grocery store is about a 1.5 mile drive from here.


He said he was considering taking an Uber to the grocery store because of the price of gas...

[DFW]

45. Give him a pocket calculator for Christmas! n/t

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

19. I have two problems with Chipotle.

The first is that their servings are HUGE, triple what a normal person would, or ought to eat.

Second is that they have cilantro in every sauce. Soap chips, for those of us who taste cilantro that way. And please, don't tell me there is only a little cilantro in the sauce. So I will only sprinkle a few soap chips on your food. Oh, wait, there is still soap in the food. Hmmmm.

[USALiberal]

28. ???? You know what "leftovers" are??

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

35. Yes, I do. That doesn't mean I want to make

the burrito my meal for three days straight.

A lot of restaurant food, I'm learning, really does not re-heat well. Unlike the things I make, intending to freeze individual portions for later meals.

[XanaDUer2]

33. Their food tastes soapy to me

And I'm okay with cilantro

[LeftInTX]

43. It has a liquid smoke taste. I love cilantro, but Chipotle's food tastes weird.

It is also too starchy for me too. Too much rice and beans and not enough veggies. I have never seen tomatoes in any of their burritos.

[Moebym]

20. And, I'm sure, all Biden's fault.

[AZLD4Candidate]

23. Just like Obama: Thanks, Biden!

Ooops. . .I need to sound dumber than that. Let's Go Brandon.

Don't you realize everything is Biden's fault. Remember the old Repubiklan party game: Pin the Blame on the Donkey.

[cate94]

24. Yes

He’s from Hinsdale, so it is always the Democrats fault.

[BradAllison]

25. Gonna have Chipotle for lunch tomorrrow!

Love that new plant based churizo burrito.

[Demovictory9]

26. a dollar increase makes him walk out?

[2naSalit]

27. +1

Out here in drive-right-by-it territory, I don't even know if we have those in the state and have never eaten at one. I did get an order of fried rice a couple weeks ago and the price had gone up over a dollar, the lady informed me. I didn't really care, I paid it and was happy with my purchase.

Guy sounds like a cheapskate, bet he doesn't leave a decent tip, if he tips at all. I even tip for take-out.

[Tribetime]

29. That's a lot better than Chick-fil-A which when you pick up the bag of food it's like a feather

At least Chipotle you get filled up and it tastes great

[Busterscruggs]

30. I haven't eaten there

Since they advocated against the homosexual community. Why on earth anyone still chokes down that swill is beyond me

[Tribetime]

34. I haven't eaten there either but I picked up food for the kid

[onethatcares]

31. have you seen

how the market dropped last week? Poor guy is lucky he can afford to eat yet alone eat at Chilpotes.

I made a batch of enchiladas yesterday, 10 of them for under $10.00. I'll give him one for free if he'd stop by.

[tanyev]

32. Oh, the humanity!

[Nevilledog]

39. Here's how the Times found this guy....

40. Financially successful doesn't mean financially frivolous

A 12% increase isn't insignificant, and is probably more of a hit on the working class people who eat there as well.
