So i'm sure most of you have a Chipotle around you, its mexican fast food really. A good spot for lunch they basically serve simple burritos and tacos. Well, I went the other day having not been in awhile and two things bugged me, first, the prices went up and two, the portions got smaller.
How do prices go up in a deflationary environment, prices on everything are coming down?
And then you used to get four crispy tacos and now you only get three.
Its still good but for the money its not the great value it was. I mean $6 plus bucks for three little tacos is no great bargain.
I hope Chipotle stops looking just at the bottom line and margins and works to keep value and keep its customers.
To my fellow Christians:
ReplyDeleteGet the book called "Boundaries" by authors Cloud and Townsend.
It will help you to develop mature boundaries:limits by which you can do precisely what you are asking for.
From the very beginning, as you develop each one, you will see the immediate differences between those people who truly care about you from those who want to use and abuse you.
How? The ones who are in the second group will quickly become agitated and angry at you because you've set boundaries where there weren't any before. There's the red flag. You'll know by their reactions that you are on your way to independence
Would you rather them go out of business completely, layoff staff, or cut staff salaries(which they probably have already done)so you can get your extra taco? Every business must be concerned with the bottom line if they want to stay open.
