So the political website Politico decided to do a rather long story about the people who served Hilary Clinton her meal the other day at Chipotle...and we are assured in the article "This wasn’t a campaign stop, only a pit stop en route to Iowa" (Source)
Yeah...got it...they always say that when they are stopping in Maumee, Ohio...or Monroe, Michigan, or Monessen, Pennsylvania, or Apple Valley, California. I can believe that the workers at the Chipotle did not see it as a political event, but something makes me wonder whether or not they were just background.
...could it be this?
The federal minimum wage is $7.25 an hour, the minimum wage in Ohio is $8.10. The average wage for hourly workers at the approximately 1,800 Chipotles is $10.10, according to Chris Arnold, a company spokesman. “Our compensation tends to be competitive or better,” he said, than Chipotle’s fast-food and fast-casual competitors. Concerning the nationwide protests this week calling for $15 an hour, though, Chipotle isn’t currently “taking a position." (source)
Maybe she really did have a hankering for some Chipotle...but, since they already have demonstrated their tendency to "Shape the Narrative" a bit, it does cause me pause.
P.S.
Did anyone else read this...
Chiet, meanwhile, which rhymes with “try it,” is the assistant general manager, or apprentice, who got Clinton her drink — first a blackberry Izze, which she decided she didn’t want after she read the ingredients, so he replaced it with an iced tea. (Source)...and think that it seems odd that someone who has an established enough relationship with Chipotle to cause her to pass by Five Guys, would have already read the label on an Izze? (Seems to me that someone who stands in line and reads the label on the Izze is the same type ofperson who seems to end up in front of me in the line for the ATM, and who seems astonished at the technology...which was once an anti-Republican meme when it suited the media)
