The Boloco website states that, "Starting Monday, August 28th, the price of our burritos (and only burritos) is increasing 25¢."
I do seriously appreciate that they're so forthcoming about the price increase and the reasons for it. I have a lot of respect for Boloco, and I think that they do the "responsible small business" thing quite well. I like that they're commited to treating their employees well, particularly in terms of providing health insurance. And one of my main reasons for going to the place so much in the first place is that their food is made of real food, which in our backwards society can be more expensive than heavily modified food. I like that the food comes in minimal packaging, most of which is recyclable, though they do lose some points for not having recycling bins in the stores. It's also understandable that they're dealing with rising energy costs...Wait, what the fuck?
The past three times I've been in a Boloco, it's been around 65-75 degrees outside and about 50 degrees inside the Boloco. I've sat there freezing my ass off.
How about if you people start responding to energy costs by using fans when it isn't super-hot and moderate amounts of air-conditioning on the five days a year when it is? It really isn't that big of a deal to me that my burrito is going to cost 25 cents more, but your waste of fossil fuels pisses me off enough without adding insult to injury.
