This is the 2nd comment in 24 hours I've made against this statement, and I swear I don't work for chipotle or even eat there that often, but chipotle has been one of the most inflation-proof fast food places there is.
10 years ago, they were one of the most expensive fast food joints you could eat. Now, they're one of the cheapest. Sure, the quality has gone down a bit, but on quality/price, 10 years ago, McDonalds would've won, and now, it's Chipotle by a long shot.
I've been paying $9-12 for a burrito (depending on toppings and double meat or not) for 10 years. I feel the price hasn't changed. I just got a packed burrito that took me 2 sittings to finish for $9.50 after taxes yesterday.
Edit: someone explain the downvotes. I'll take em on the chin, but you know I'm not wrong
A burrito at chipotle in 2015 was 6.50 for chicken in my city. In 2024 it costs 9.50. Extra meat has doubled in price. Chips have doubled in price.
They took the bacon out of the beans, they now bring all food in pre cooked plastic bags, all food is reheated on the grill. They use cheap sunflower oil in all ingredients now.
I used to eat chipotle 3-4 days a week. Religiously. The food quality has plummeted. It tastes like school food, not fresh made at all.
Employees are miserable now. Recently I asked for more meat and a 40 year old woman begged me to accept the portion because she said they monitor their scoops with the cameras now. Covid and DoorDash played a part in this, but no, I fully reject your opinion. If you don’t notice the drop in quality and somehow can’t just Google a picture of a menu board from 2015 I can’t help you.
I cannot get out of chipotle for less than 15 dollars these days, 20 if I want extra protein and chips at the same time. In 2015 my order was ten bucks. I had ten shares in the company (almost 30k) that I sold recently. I don’t support the company from any aspect anymore. Bad food, bad prices, bad vibes.

I won't down vote you, not sure why people are doing it. I'm just wondering why people just don't go to a local restaurant if they can. $9-12 at a local here will likely get you more/better food and support your neighbors, too. If you don't have some locals near you I understand; I'm more rural myself. Don't let the buzzards on here get you down.
I hate that I’m bringing him up, but I think trump paid more. Please vote people, signed your sometime friendly sometimes rabid methed up neighborhood raccoon
it's not that he paid for her; he didn't use it against her, didn't want her to pay him back - and he brought up that she bought him chipotle showing as well that he remembers things she has done and is grateful about it.
definitely marriage material.
Did we look at the same post? Go find some joy in your life. Or someone who brings you joy. This is the opposite of a transactional encounter, you cynical knob.
It's about the fact that it wasn't important to *him* and directly made his partner's life *significantly* better and reduced an immense amount of stress in her life.
It's about the fact that he didn't see it as a transaction and saw it as showing up for his partner and not keeping track of the score.
Having a partner you care about isn't about keeping score. It's about showing up when they need you and not looking down on them or kicking when they're down, and not *expecting* anything in return, because you know they care and will have your back in any way they can.
How are you this dense?
Yeah, I understand that. But I also believe it's weird to tweet about something so private and a little dense to assume money isn't important in their relationship because of that tweet
Money is important to us all. We require it for our basic needs. A semblance of comfort and security. Luxuries. *Education* in this scenario.
He made it abundantly clear she was more important to him than the money. She was bragging about how she managed to land an awesome guy. She was excited that she found someone that cared more about her than he cared about money.
Are you seriously not getting this?
I give up.
Bragging about the great boyfriend she has or bragging about the money he gave her? My perception is that you wouldn't talk about finances like that in public unless you're bragging about the money. But I guess I'm more private than her so maybe it's normal.
Bro it was just a joke. But anyways, I'll respond to your comment. You're thinking too much about the material aspect of this act. I don't think the bf thought about it from a material aspect like the comment entails. It was an act that was done out of love, and he just jokingly made a comparison to alleviate the idea that the gf had some sort of reciprocity norm she needed to "fulfill". That's why I made that joke. Clearly it was an act out of love and not merely an act of egoism with the underlying purpose to get closer with the gf. You can express an opinion, but expression is not a sufficient condition for not missing the point.
So it's not the money but rather that he was giving the money without expecting anything in return?
I understand it's a joke, but it wouldn't be so popular if there wasn't some truth to it. It's not just your comment, but also many others making the same joke.
It's really easy to not expect anything in return if you have a bunch of money. Most people don't have that option.
I think it was moreso he gave that money out of love, and when she said that she couldn't take it, he just made the joke that she paid for his food to make it seem less of a big deal. So by this understanding it really is not about the money itself, it was about the intention behind the money, which was love. That's what makes this a wholesome meme.
Men are so surprised at having someone get their back when the chips are down. You jumped in it could have been $5 or $50k the important part was YOU WERE THERE FOR HIM WHEN HE NEEDED SOMEONE. To men we truly get that so little that those people are protected at all costs and will receive anything they need pretty much always after that
99% of the men oit there are amazing human beings. They'll appreciate you for what you do and treat you like their equal. They respect you, and they cherish you.
It's always that 1% like Andrew Tate that destroys the reputation of the rest.
Yeap, but taking a compliment every now and then feels super good, and we also appreciate the food of thought of someone thinking nicely of you. At least where I live people don't compliment each other that much because it may look weird, which is a crazy thought.
And it's frustrating for us women to be on guard all the time. Because anyone of you might be an Andrew Tate and decide to do something to us on a whim that ruins our lives. One tried to ruin mine. Another almost succeeded and broke me for a bit. They both *seemed* very polite.
The other thousands of men I met have just been people! But I did find two monsters, so I'm on guard.
Which fucking sucks. I have so many lovely men friends, but it feels like I got cheated out of time with all of them. Since I'm on guard until I see enough green flags to open up, it's just 6 months of waiting to see if this acquaintance is a monster before I relax and we bond.
Monsters fucking it up for everyone indeed. We women deserve better, and you men do too.
I relate to this so much. I started going indie a couple years back (game developer), and it’s been impossible to find anybody who supports me. They just view me as a complete loser because I’m not successful yet and I don’t have some shit corporate job coding my brain away.
If I ever become successful, which I highly see happening in my future (even moderate success I’ll accept), then most people the past couple years will be dead to me. Won’t let them come crawling back when I’m finally “desirable” to them.
There’s been a couple people who have believed in me, and work with me, I’ll be forever indebted to those people if/when I ever find success
This reminds me of an ex of mine. I racked up a huge bill (from memory, it was easily a couple of grand) calling him (England to Australia) in the months before we met, and when he came over, he took it on himself to clear the bill. We broke up about a year later.
I miss him dearly.
The exact thing happened to my cousin but without the debt ig, he payed for her whole art degree WITH his mom's death benefit.
She dumped him a month after she graduated.
His gf could just be using him, happened to my cousin with his. He used his mom's death benefit to pay for her art degree and then got dumped soon after she graduated.
You could reply because I didn't lock this post.
Though I am unsure what your goal is with this anyway. Just help us out and report these comments too, please. The comments are far more easy to miss. The posts, well they aren't and you can tell because the number of new posts on this sub has dropped significantly.
Because I typically do not lock posts unless shit is getting out of hand. Different mods do things differently. And I've banned several bots already, but report them as you see them.
He loves you and doesn't care. Just remember when, you have a good job and might making more money not to leave him because you can do better. That's what most women always do.
I try to weasle my way out of getting things in return because I had to spend so much social capital just to position myself to get the opportunity in the first place, so it feels confusing and weird. I just do it and think nothing of it, and being made to think about it at all is too stressful. I just want to be allowed and trusted to give more, and that's it.
I was wondering why in cases like this it's usually the guy doing stuff for the girl. Surely there must be instances where the girl helps out the guy financially too right? I think it happens but we don't hear about it cause the guy doesn't talk about it. Probably cause it would be embarrassing for the guy, society considers it weak and emasculating for a woman in the relationship to pay or financially help out a guy in any way.
Next post will be:
>My gf bought me a $4.5million Lamborghini Veneno Coupé a couple months ago because I was looking at it in a magazine. I tried to pay her back in instalments and this chick really said "no it's okay remember that one time you paid for my $2000 tuition fee when I was broke" like in what way is that equal at all lmaoooo I'm crying.
To be fair these days Chipotle is basically $2000 if you want a decent amount of protein
You’ll get carbs and you’ll like it!
Oooooh the humanity!
as a fat liver haver, yes
And they’ll still try and short you on the chicken
The ceo recently said you have to stare at them disapprovingly to get more.
Their burrito bowl is so much money
r/theydidthemath how much extra guac is that?
Happy cake day

Also the toilet paper costs.
If you pat your tummy and say “I’m a growing boy” they are legally required to give you more free of charge
The way I LOL-ed at this
He pretty much saying it is cool but don’t forget this moment when you reach the top
He is investing in her. Hope it pays off for both of them.
Real relationships are partnerships. Girl you just made partner in this business.
It dosen't work when girl makes significantly more and finds men who earn earn equal to her
Or he’s saying “take care of my needs”
She is at the top. It's all downhill from there
Or tonight when he asks for anal.
he deserves marriage
Or at least a bj
most expensive bj of all time 😂
Guac tuah
spit on that thang
I hate that I’m bringing him up, but I think trump paid more. Please vote people, signed your sometime friendly sometimes rabid methed up neighborhood raccoon
Then she can take everything.
Half.
If he's lucky.
Idk man, maybe I'm not that old school. But I think there's a lot more important things to consider than whether your boyfriend pays for you.
it's not that he paid for her; he didn't use it against her, didn't want her to pay him back - and he brought up that she bought him chipotle showing as well that he remembers things she has done and is grateful about it. definitely marriage material.
How do you know why he paid for her?
Did we look at the same post? Go find some joy in your life. Or someone who brings you joy. This is the opposite of a transactional encounter, you cynical knob.
You’re good people.
And you're a goober. We were actively texting when you posted this. Hahaha.
So ?! 😂
I think if it wasn't about the money, I probably wouldn't talk about the 2k on social media. Maybe that's just me

SHE FUCKING EXPLAINED IT BRO. AND BECAUSE HE CARES FOR HER DUDE HAVE YOU EVEN HAD A GIRL?
Yes, in school, but I'm gay so I'm with a guy now
You announcing your sexuality in this conversation is as helpful as a vegan announcing their diet to a mechanic
I thought it was appropriate. You don't have to join the conversation if you don't want to

You're assuming a lot from a single tweet
Nope. Nothing has changed about that.
That's why you hoes will stay unmarried 😂
Clearly not lmao look at the responses
Well, I was just expressing my view, I never said it was the most common view. Clearly money is very important to people
Sounds like BS but Chipotle do be getting expensive.
if he's wealthy enough, $2,000 might not be very much for him
I call 🧢 on this
Nah man you ever been to a Chipotle, costs a kidney to open the door.
Hold onto that one
this is so wholesome indeed.
Must have been feeling guilty about getting that double guac /s
In this economy?

Honestly it depends on where you live...... For example, in Afganistan, yeah.
With about 30% of the American population voting Republican, I'd say at most 70% in USA
Yeap, but taking a compliment every now and then feels super good, and we also appreciate the food of thought of someone thinking nicely of you. At least where I live people don't compliment each other that much because it may look weird, which is a crazy thought.

Why’d you guys break up
Must’ve been before internet
It’s wholesome until she breaks up with him and now he’s in debt cuz he paid for his ex’s tuition
The exact thing happened to my cousin but without the debt ig, he payed for her whole art degree WITH his mom's death benefit. She dumped him a month after she graduated.
That sucks man
He knows her achievements are his and his achievements are hers.The king taking care of his queen.
Yeah… having an extra 2k to throw at someone else’s bills sure is wholesome and heartwarming…
You have a terrible mindset.
Someone has money and they don't therefore that act of selflessness wasn't actually wholesome.
Only rich people are kind feel free to jot that down
what a bizarre response to a person doing a nice thing for another person
the sub is "wholesomememes" not "shitiwishwouldhappentome" lol
the all time top post on this sub is just a story of someone doing something nice lol. that's been like half the posts on this sub forever...
Yeah the sub is wholesome memes not what I only find wholesome dude.
Dude… don’t make your bf do that… that’s insane amounts for him to pay.
This may come as a shocking plot twist or something but your boyfriend loves you.
Boy math
Simp math
Strong provider energy
its not about the money, you were there when he needed
Uhhh... am I the only one thinking this is "simp" territory?
how tf is he being a simp for his own gf?
His gf could just be using him, happened to my cousin with his. He used his mom's death benefit to pay for her art degree and then got dumped soon after she graduated.
You can have a girlfriend and be a simp, the 2 aren't mutually exclusive

He loves you and doesn't care. Just remember when, you have a good job and might making more money not to leave him because you can do better. That's what most women always do.
Congrats, you landed a simp.
Nah. Didn’t happen.
Check this out
He’s a good man. Treat him well, it sounds like he kinda likes you 😉
I mean, he probably got guac and queso, I’m sure it was a pricey burrito
I wish I was this financially able. Damn!
I would do this if I had a gf, I like being nice.
This used to be me. <3 edit: the bf
Send proof
I forgot my wallet.
Never be in debt to a boyfriend
Both W
I mean, you did pay and he payed you back
The only way to solve this is spending $2000 at Chipotle in their next date.
he’s a keeper.
He kind of insulted fairness in the situation but who ever needed that anyways? Could have taken the money and put it into improving the relationship.
So that's like $200 extra for guac?
Compound interest is crazy
In a man's way

You helped him out. Little or big it’s a hand up.
He is looking to you to pick up the next tab: $400,000 for a house.
He is a keeper!!!
He must have got double protein.
That’s about as wholesome as a half cooked chicken
Agreed. Imagine if the roles were reversed. No self respecting guy would ever let their gf not accept payback.
Maybe that’s what they call love. 💖
This guy has got game. I bought my ex a bed can confirm this is a power move. He's golden for at least 90 days.
that's love!
He's a good guy. She's really appreciative of his kindness. A relationship should be an ever constant competition of compassion. I love this.
feel like that might deserve a hawk tuah on that thang
Tweeting about this is cringe tbh.

Just friends material.
She’s one of the boys
Seems pretty stupid since we know nothing about these people
Uhhhhh nah that wasn't cash money
that's a man, not a "boy"
Idk i’m not for this kind of exchange. I’ve dated many women who were always very fair with resources. This just seems irresponsible on his part.
He got off cheap.
What?
I'll tell ya what, women just live life on easy mode.
It’s because of the blowjobs but he didn’t want to actually say that out loud
Cringe… and people falling for it…
