1. Inflation may be cooling, but consumers’ outrage over higher prices is running hot.

   TikTok users blasted Walmart for rolling out digital shelf labels that allow it to quickly raise and lower prices. Wendy’s backpedaled after its CEO suggested the burger chain may start using dynamic pricing, the practice of raising and lowering prices based on demand. And at some Chipotle locations, customers filmed workers to try to make sure they didn’t skimp on their burrito bowls.The three joined a growing list of consumer brands contending with customers’ deep frustration over high prices — and wariness that prices will only rise more.

   Many retailers, restaurants and other consumer companies have seen sales fall as shoppers pull back their spending. Businesses are now trying to convince customers that they offer the best deals, fueling a rise in discounts, promotions and value meals.

2. No shit because prices stabilized at absurd levels.

3. Stop skimping Chipotle

4. Chipotle didn’t just skimp on us, their quality and service are just terrible. It’s a crappy way to burn your money.

5. I haven’t been to chipotle in a long time now and have no intention of going any time soon.

   I’ve found plenty of alternatives with better quality ingredients with better prices and larger portions.

   No desire to return except for their guac which is unmatched. 😋
