You're right. But it annoys me that so often, the ones who take time to do these demonstrations, make the YouTube videos, and get pictures snapped in public fit that mold.Quote:

Common sense left the building, with Elvis. It's easier to misquote and BANG OUTRAGE ON A KEYBOARD, for 3 pages than actually read how the head office is playing it neutral.Quote:

I've never eaten at Chipotle. Personally, I think they handled this situation as best they could considering it's a business that caters to a wide cross-section of the population. This will have no bearing on whether or not I ever take my business there.
I'm once again astounded at the number of people who scream for their "rights" and "freedom" to do as they choose out of one side of their mouth while screaming condemnations towards a private business entity out of the other side of their mouth for exercising those same freedoms to operate their business in the manner they see as appropriate.
It's one thing to say, "I don't like their politics but that's their choice...so my choice is to take my $$ elsewhere", and it's another to condemn them for some imagined infringement on a "right" or "freedom" when no such thing exists in this context.
Keep in mind that Chipotle is run by hard core leftists (although their primary focus seems to be environmentalism/Gaia worship) so the fact that they didn't embrace Bloomies Bitches 110% and ban even Republicans and NRA members from their stores is actually a sign that they're trying to be neutral here.
Now lets see how many more say they'll never eat there again, again.Quote:

Everyone says that when their stance is in direct conflict with their own stance. It seems as though this feeling fades a bit when it aligns with their own.Quote:
