And here I thought it was just about getting free burritos...

The ad was on the radio, and it was for some chipotle-chicken sub or something, and it had this little jingle that just went, "Chipotle! Chipotle! da da da, Chipotle!"

The problem came in when I didn't realize that it was an ad for Subway. I thought it was an ad for Chipotle, not Subway.

These aren't that bad by comparison.

For really bad use of Flash, check out Chipotle's site. All Flash, and absolutely no way to retrieve any information (like locations) without it.

I like their food, though.

This is almost fast enough to be an effective medium for burritos. Mmmm... Chipotle.

How hard would it be for some company to open a fast-food restarant that has healthy food? It's not like it takes longer to fix healthy food than it takes to make a Big Mac. I don't mind paying more for better ingredients. Instead of trying to blame people who eat at McDonalds, why don't you blame the "healthy" restaurants who won't meet consumer demand for drive throughs and quick "to-go" meals?


Here's one. These guys aren't bad either (in fact, they were run by McDonald's, last time I checked).

I'm not sure what your hangup on drive-thrus is. Last time I used a drive through for lunch it took way longer than walking into the store and getting lunch to go.

Lunch is a social occasion and a chance to get away from the office. I go to lunch with coworkers and friends who come to the office to unwind. I can't show up at a restaurant with a bagged lunch in hand. Nor do I want to become one of those pathetic type-A people who eats lunch while working, responding to e-mails, and answering the phone.


Well, yes you can show up at a restaurant with a bagged lunch -- what's stopping you? The staff at McD's surely won't care.

It is your choice to go along with the rest of your coworkers and eat out all the time. I'll be honest -- I do it too (although not at McD's). You could choose to use a break room or bench somewhere away from your desk to enjoy a brought-from-home lunch. You could even encourage your coworkers to do the same so they could join you.

You've obviously never been to Chipotle. Burrito the size of my forearm for $6.

I swear, God eats here. Yummy food.

Chipotle. (Annoying website; damn good burritos. I get the chicken one and it's $5.25.)

Interesting side note: Chipotle is actually owned by McDonalds (of all things...) Although I don't eat at McD's very often, I love Chipotle.
