Chipotle customers are expressing their disappointment over the restaurant’s decision to raise prices by 2%, citing “corporate greed” as the reason. The company announced the price increase, which is attributed to inflation, according to a new report. However, fans on social media suspect that the real motive behind the hike could be executives’ request for higher salaries or cost of key ingredients like dairy, beef, and avocado.
The chain’s chief corporate affairs officer confirmed that the 2% price increase is the first time Chipotle has raised its prices in over a year. To make up for the cost increase, customers can expect larger portions with their meals. The company cited complaints on social media about dwindling portion sizes as the reason for this adjustment.
While the implementation of the price hike takes effect, fans are taking to social media to express their discontent. “Never going again” and “corporate greed” were among the sentiments shared by customers. Despite the impending cost increase, Chipotle has promised to provide consistent and generous portions to its patrons.
