    Everything gets 2% for expensive every year, the outliers are loss leaders to get you in the door ($1.50 costco hot dogs, $10.00 costco pizzas)

    We’re not stuck with eating at Chipotle because it’s who our employer picked as a service provider.

    Now, you want to go look up their wage statistics, we can talk…

      Funny, but this guy is a CEO of a shitty cantina style restaurant chain. Yeah, he definitely sucks, but he’s not tricking people into paying for a life-saving product then reneging when the customer needs it. He’s stealing the culture of a civilization that was genocided then selling it to the genociders for obscene profit at the cost of his employees and customers alike…Okay, never mind. Carry on.

        had me in the first part not gonna lie

        if you search for Chipotle CEO you get the last guy who left this year and his first listed position was CEO of Proctor and Gamble. There is no such thing as an innocent CEO.

      I clicked the link, thinking it was going to be a funny meme about chipotle making your butthole bleed.

      …instead, now I’m probably on a list.

      Scrolling through that list, all i could think was how dare they call it “Chipotle Mexican Grill.”

    I mean, inflation actually is at 2% or just I over that, isn’t it?

    Ideally they’d match that with 2% pay raises for staff, but yeah that seems unlikely.

    LOL, have fun with that. Like 2 years ago I went to Chipotle and ordered a steak burrito with guacamole. It was $19. I was flabbergasted. I haven’t been back since, and I will never go back. Get fucked, greedy bastards.

    Would be stupid to not raise the cost when inflation is double (in Austria at least) the raise.

      I am no expert but after reading all that, reintroducing the gold standard seems like a very bad idea. It just replaces one type of regular occurring crisis with another and now your food becomes more expensive when Australia opens a new gold mine.

        Yeah I said it because it also prevents inflation from being controlled by the state (bad idea in any modern economy)

        But this also lead to nations having way less gold than they require in order to have a currency adequately valued

    I suspect America would have the same reaction as the first time, if it happened again
