I used to go to Chipotle at least twice a week back during the pandemic, would get a burrito with guacamole for $9 and it'd fill me for the rest of the day.<br><br>Now, that same exact order costs around $14 give or take. Not to mention the staff are all rude and the stores are usually filthy. I hate enshittification.

Chipotle is the text book definition of what you get when you prioritize shareholder value over your cash paying customers. Good luck Starbucks!

> raises prices<br>> reduces food quality<br>> pays workers less<br>> profit<br><br>Wow who could have thought of that?<br>And then leave the ship while it's sinking.<br>Thank you for making the world a little shittier and profiting off it while you're doing it.
