This is something that conservatives have been complaining would happen and everyone said it wouldn’t

This will definitely add more fuel to the conservative argument

I’m sure they could eat the cost of a labor increase

Chipotle hikes prices to cover the cost of raising wages

Chipotle Mexican Grill has hiked menu prices by roughly 4% to cover the cost of raising its workers’ wages.

In May, Chipotle said that it would raise hourly wages for its restaurant workers to reach an average of $15 an hour by the end of June. Company executives said at the Baird Global Consumer, Technology & Services Conference that they would be passing along the price of raising pay to consumers.

The timing of the price hikes coincides with rising ingredient costs across the restaurant industry as suppliers grapple with the return of demand. For now, Chipotle isn’t planning on further price increases.

Guess no guac for me

I definitely think all workers deserve a living wage. I think it’s kind of scummy that Chipotle made customer cover the cost though...

This is what a lot of people against raising wages were talking about so I’m sure this will only give them more fuel

its been f*** Chipotle for time

OP sucks at reporting just like cnbc

this isnt cause of wages going up, this is because of greedy ceos who wont cut their own inflated salaries

wages were too low to begin with

this is america tho, ignore the greedy 1% and blame those at the bottom

i copy and pasted the article and posted my opinion saying exactly what you just said

maybe you just suck at readin

crabs in a barrel

prob, im a hater too

Haven't eaten there in 2 years regardless,

got like 5 different Mexican restaurants that are actually authentic near me

Never ate there and never will but people deserve 15 an hour at least. Prices have been increasing anyway but now this will be their excuse.

the title is what everyone reads (im guilty of it too obv), first impressions are everything

I wouldn't pay a dime for that salmonella bowl

Still gonna bet my chicken bowl,

4% isn’t that bad. My materials and equipment for work have been increasing 6% to 15% every 6 months for the last 3 years.

Tbh chipotle has been surprisingly cheap for a while, this was bound to happen anyway

4% oh no what will we do if we have to pay 4 more cents on the dollar lmfaoo

Chipotle

Meanwhile the ceo made what 28 mil last year?

Good

no more queso blanco

Long as their paying their workers well im good

Go to an actual Mexican spot instead of a bunch of rich white people imitating Mexican food.

This isn't even news. So many franchises do this every year wtf
