    I don’t understand why they think he’s worth this much money and effort when by all accounts Chipotle is a shell of its former glory

        It won’t last. It just takes awhile for consumers to figure out that your product is now shit.

        Most people aren’t visiting every day to notice the price increases or the quality decreases. And the first or second time it’s often written off as just an outlier.

        Of course there’s variance per customer, but it takes a couple years before you really earn the shitty reputation of something like Dominos circa 2014. In the meantime, line looks like this before it drops. And by that time you’re CEO of a different company.

            Yeah it’s like a big cult, the real market doesn’t matter to anyone, they just rotate CEOs when that hits. It’s always and forever about next quarter growth, nothing else matters.

          They don’t care about long-term, line must go up now. If he can do a similar stock price pump in the next few years to Starbucks by cost cutting and some bullshit projects, they will be rich and happy.

      Chipotle failed to unionize and I bet short term profits are up.

          It entirely depends on which Chipotle you walk into on what day at what time. Their ingredients are still good. There’s just no consistency. It was never cheap, but at least it’s still (usually) a lot of food.
