Default Oh no, not Chipotle

http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20110207/us_nm/...ration_fastfood

"LOS ANGELES/DALLAS (Reuters) – Chipotle Mexican Grill has a lot going for it -- an upscale burrito concept, a hip and eco-friendly image, expansion plans galore and a 500 percent-plus stock price gain in just over two years.

And then it has something not going its way -- a federal crackdown on its immigrant labor force that has so far forced Chipotle to fire hundreds of allegedly illegal workers in the state of Minnesota, perhaps more than half its staff there..."

Who doesn't like cheap labor.

The food is great, I will still eat there.

I was gonna let it go, until they skimped on the meat for the 3rd time in a row.

Enough is enough! Time to raid their FB page!!!

Actually I heard about this a couple months ago I think.

Well that explains the 500%+ stock gain.
