No chipotle here, but there is a knockoff burrito bar place. It's $10 base price for a burrito IIRC, I went once and never went back after seeing the prices.max225 wrote:How much y’all pay for a chipotle burrito

on the way to Nashville, I stopped by in a miserable looking town in VA and tried Hardees I literally almost puked from the after taste. I know for sure Bojangles are much better when I used to grab em somewhere in Central Va (Fredericksburg to be exact) whenever I trip down south. That shit shouldn't be 8 bucks, but should be $3 at best

Exactly. It's Subway in a tortilla, but Subway is half the price.max225 wrote:Double digit prices for that is nuts ...troyguitar wrote: ↑Mon Feb 10, 2020 1:14 pm No chipotle here, but there is a knockoff burrito bar place.

chipotle doesn't excite me, but other taco places does! If you go to typical franchise in DC like chipotle and the like, you're an idiot. #sorrynotsorry

Beer is expensive now. $12-15 for a 6er is normal.
$6-8 a pint at the bar.
A large coffee to go is averaging $3.50 now
Bus is $2.50 each ride after you buy the $5 mandatory fare card
3% COL increases tho

Unless you go for the daily special for 4.99 that comes with 2 slices of paper thin “turkey” paper and freeze dried vegetables on a piece of bread that looks stepped onD Griff wrote: ↑Mon Feb 10, 2020 6:26 pmtroyguitar wrote: ↑Mon Feb 10, 2020 1:23 pm Exactly.

I feel like I would enjoy this as an alternative career. probably pays for shit .
I don't know much about it as the only time I've ever had a car serviced at a was the free oil changes on my .
I am now Service Mangler at the #9 (of 113) ranked Toyota dealer in the NY region, and #1 in the district. It’s an $80-90k job depending on shop production... a service director job is $100+. I have 14 writers that work for me, and make 55-95k in the main shop, and 30-40k on the basic maintenance side.
It’s all sales. It’s all commission. Sell service. Make money. I’m advising you that your car needs things to make me money.
A good service writer knows The delicate balance between what it needs now vs what can wait a bit.
Instead of clubbing every person over the head, I’d rather take a little bit at a time... soft sell everything and prioritize safety over everything.
