    This company gave people multiple waves of diseases spread over years from their shitty food handling and somehow people just shrugged it off and kept going, with full knowledge of this.

    People still rave about their decidedly mediocre burritos for some fucking reason. I don’t get it. Now they’ve aligned with the anti FDA fascists

      Don’t lose hope. Chipotle has reported a decrease in traffic multiple times over the last year or so. Right now their stock is sitting at half of what it was in 2024. Antidotally, I hear a lot more criticism than support in my circles and I have no plans to ever eat there again.

        They are extremely expensive for what they offer nowadays, at least if you live anywhere in California, Arizona, New Mexico or Texas. I’m assuming New York, Oregon, Seattle and any other states with local Mexican restaurants as well.

          I want to state that I don’t go to Chipotle and instead go to local establishments for food.

          The local mexican restaurants have better food but the quantity is less. So at Chipotle, you’re paying for the quantity of a big slop bowl at a similar price, or cheaper than a few dollars in comparison to any local Mexican establishment. There’s a reason why a lot of gym bros go for Chipotle to get their protein intake.

        Also local chipotles vary widely in quality and some are pretty good food and portions for the cost.

        Unfortunately don’t feel like supporting them now that they do business with Palantir
