Chipotle

I found a Chipotle restaurant in the area where I'm staying for my training class this week.

I heard of this place from a new employee who had moved in from another state. He raved about Chipotle and was very disappointed that one couldn't be found in his new local.

I became very interested in this place. He talked about it a good bit for his first few weeks at work. He talked about it so much that I too became disappointed that we have no Chipotle anywhere nearby-- and I had never been there before!

I started to feel a bit offended. What? My town isn't good enough for a Chipotle restaurant?

I even wrote the owners and asked them that very question. They replied and said that they admitted to being selective about where they open new restaurants. But, they try to take care in how fast they grow their business. They don't just haphazardly open restaurants anywhere. But, they assured me that they would consider opening up in my area one of these days.

Hmph.

Well, I ran across a Chipotle while I'm out here training in Tampa, Florida.

Chipotle is awesomeness!

I still feel a bit offended that they won't open a restaurant back home where I must soon return.

I think I'll write the owners again.

Maybe it's time for me to quit my job and open one myself. I know the perfect spot where I can start one when I get back home.

Right around the corner from that Five Guys Burgers and Fries joint that recently opened up at that cool shopping park they just built. I'd make a killin' and Five Guys wouldn't even miss a beat from my presence. If anything, we'd feed on each other's attraction of hungry customers longing to get rid of the munchies.
