Chipotle&#8217;s new location is about halfway between work and home, so about 3 minutes later I arrived at the front door of Chipotle. Sure enough, they were giving away free burritos to train their employees in. (And it&#8217;s also a brilliant marketing move, as I watched car after car drive past, look at the line that now went out the door and into the parking lot, and vow to themselves to come back later)<\/p>\n<p>The employees were off-the-hook cheer, almost creepily cheery. But that&#8217;s okay, there were free burritos to be had.<\/p>\n<p>While in line, I had a good conversation with two early college students about the candidate, imploring them to do some more research.<\/p>\n<p>When I got to the line I ordered my now customary, barbacoa with black beans, some hot, some corn salsa, and guacamole. Actually I&#8217;m usually 50\/50 on the guac because it&#8217;s an absurd $1.25 extra, but tonight it was free. And it was good.<\/p>\n<p>Wrapping technique was fair&#8230; I had my first PBM (partial burrito meltdown) in about a year and a half. But it was partly my fault as well. Kind of like the pitcher with a suspect defense behind him. The pitcher has the make a good pitch, and the defense has to back him up.<\/p>\n<p>Anyways, it was excellent, they&#8217;re doing the free burrito thing tomorrow as well, and as such, I will be there.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Around 3pm a co-worker waltzed into my office and said in a low voice, &#8220;Chipotle is giving away free burritos tonight, 5-6:30.&#8221; My stomach became instantly happy. @ 4:59PM I logged off, packed up and headed out the door.
