So for the past, maybe, 2 months I have been trying to eat a lot of Chipotle. Mainly their chicken fajita burritos. Out of the 4 days I work, I was eating a burrito for lunch on 3 of them. Basically I wanted to see if I could eat so many burritos that I just couldn't stand them any more or I died/became violently ill. I've been eating a lot of burritos.
Recently my interest in them has been waning, so I was taking that as a sign that this psycho-culinary experiment was nearing its end. Today, almost out of habit, I ran out to grab a burrito to bring back for lunch. After placing my order (plus an extra for a co-worker) I was told that these would be "on the house today". Despite advice to not look a gift burrito in the mouth, I inquired as to why I was getting free food. The guy at the counter said that I came in here so much, that he just wanted to thank me for my business.
So... PRO: I got free burritos! Awesome! CON: I have been going to Chipotle so much that they recognize me (and like me). I'm not sure how to feel about that. Part of me wants to be proud, but that just doesn't seem right.
I suppose the important thing to take from this is that I got free burritos, and in the end that's all the really matters, right?
I think your new goal would be to see how many places you can do this at! Go buy a sandwich from subway so much they give you a free one. Or try it with tiny bottles of whiskey from 7/11!!!!
Whilst I agree with Bryan, I have a better solution. Since A) you're getting free burritos, and B) you're getting sick of burritos, you should just get your free burritos and send them to me in the mail. Hell, I'll even pay the postage.
Just...get the pork kind. Or the steak. Not chicken.
