guys look a +500% price increase in less than one Gosling life time is totally normal capitalism
Capitalism
Inflation, greed and enshittification.
Assuming this was around 1994, and adjusting for inflation, it should still be under $2.
The beefy 5 layer burrito was introduced in 2009/10
So, Ryan Gosling was 29 years old in the top picture. Damn is he a great actor.
Capitalist greed happened.
That price held untill atleast 2012, that’s a solid 5 dollars of increase in just over 10 years. I could totally be talking out my ass
Weird, 2012 was about when Brian Niccol took over as Chief Marketing Officer and then later became CEO of Taco Bell. Afterwards he moved to Chipotle and raised prices and lowered quality there too. Now he’s in the news for becoming the new Starbucks CEO where he will be commuting via private jet 600 miles 3 days a week.
So you’ll be happy to know that your extra money on tacos, burritos, and coffee goes to good use like paying this asshole millions of dollars to fly around on a private jet enshittifying everything he touches
And the cherry on top about that guy… he’s a union buster.
New Starbucks CEO Brian Niccol Has a History of Union-Busting. Niccol’s tenure as Chipotle CEO was marred by settlements over unfair labor practices and child labor law violations
