Chipotle Warns It Might Stop Serving Guacamole If Global Warming Gets Worse

Chipotle, Inc., is warning it might stop serving guacamole at its restaurants if global warming climate change gets much worse. Think Progress reported:

It’s your choice, America. Fix the climate, or the guac gets it.

Chipotle Inc. is warning investors that extreme weather events “associated with global climate change” might eventually affect the availability of some of its ingredients. If availability is limited, prices will rise — and Chipotle isn’t sure it’s willing to pay.

“Increasing weather volatility or other long-term changes in global weather patterns, including any changes associated with global climate change, could have a significant impact on the price or availability of some of our ingredients,” the popular chain, whose Sofritas vegan tofu dish recently went national, said in its annual report released last month. “In the event of cost increases with respect to one or more of our raw ingredients we may choose to temporarily suspend serving menu items, such as guacamole or one or more of our salsas, rather than paying the increased cost for the ingredients.”

Chipotle did say that it recognizes the pain it (and its devotees) would have to go through if it decided to suspend a menu item. “Any such changes to our available menu may negatively impact our restaurant traffic and comparable restaurant sales, and could also have an adverse impact on our brand,” the filing read.

According to the latest RSS satellite record there has been no global warming in 17 years.

They’ll get my guacamole when they pry it out of my cold, dead hands.

It won’t break my heart, as I don’t eat there, anyway. Stupid idiots.

I prefer that stuff, too. But a great burrito is often a great thing.

Sounds to me like some folks in upper management want to cut the menu. Without solid business reasoning to support this idea, they are left with claiming the weather will justify it.

“I think its same company as Micky D.”

I thought it might be more up-scale, like Fridays, but I must be mistaken.
Fridays seems to be doing ok. We even have it here in the Philippines. I have been to one in a Cebu mall.
The king of fast food here is JolliBee, the same type of food and service as Mickey D.

If global warming was as bad as they would like us to believe then there would be a glut of avocados on the market.

I’ve heard the word “chipotle” for a dozen years now, but I still don’t know what it is. I’ve always assumed it’s some kind of a food brought in by the illegal invasive Mexicans.

Fortunately, I can make my own guacamole - not that avacados grow well in the permafrost of central Illinois.

I very much like avocados and guacamole. To each his own. When they first encountered them the Spanish called avocados “alligator pears”. I’ve noticed that avocados have been dropping in price over the last several years, from about two dollars each to often less than a dollar now. Also, I think they must be the most often wasted produce. Almost half of the avocados I see at the store are already too soft and bruised to be sellable. I think they probably have a three or four day window to sell, and many of them do not.

Ate at a Chipotle once at the insistence of my wife.

Wasn’t impressed.

Certainly won’t return after this.

Schmucks.

An obvious PR ploy and back handed support of Global Warming Inc.

The owner of Chipotle, Steve Ells is an extreme leftist. Skip the place and go find a Chik-fil-a.

Global Warming does exist, it is comprised of “hot air” emitted from POLs in DC and the EU.

What a scam.
