Chipotle raising prices

April 30, 2017 09:25PM
I understand that it is a net loss of $0.35 or so (speaking as a recent shopper who is accustomed to the $21 shops). Don't the benefits outweigh the loss? You have a meal that lasts for a few days; the narratives are not demanding; the report is simple; and the pay is timely.

I just finished my first Chipotle shop. I spent $10.64. The report took me an hour. 55 questions with a ton of narrative. I'd hate to see what the old report looked like if the new one is supposed to be easier.

The first time I shop a client, it always takes longer. Subsequent shops go much faster. I'm betting when you do you next one, you'll be at 45 minutes or less. After that, I'm guessing you'll be finishing in 30 minutes.

A lot of those 55 questions are checking boxes and no narratives.

If you are writing a ton of narrative you are overthinking it.

It still takes me a lot of time to do these reports. I am probably overthinking it but also I fully pack my taco, or bowl or whatever I am having so I have to write my short narratives on everything. I have often thought about just getting one or two ingredients to shorten reporting time in the new report but no, for me it is about the great food in a fully packed meal.

I also stuff my bowls since I take them in for lunch. I take my time writing the report since it's the only shop that I that day/weekend/week. It's not daunting.
