$25 AND UNDER; When Theres Only One of a Chain
I usually avoid places like Chipotle Mexican Grill, which opened last month on 44th Street, near Third Avenue. It belongs to a chain partly owned by McDonalds. That places it squarely among the forces that are ironing the countrys quirky regional wrinkles into a smooth national uniform in which Anchorage equals Akron. Each franchise, whether restaurant, coffee shop or drugstore, arrives with focus groups, market surveys and other tools of bureaucracy, relentlessly homogenizing flavor and creativity.

Penny Rounded, Penny Lost?
My children are fans of the food at Chipotle Mexican Grill. Soft, fresh tacos; black beans; melted cheese - whats not to like? So I was intrigued when I read about a payment policy that the restaurant chain uses in some locations. Its called rounding (which, by coincidence, my daughter is learning about at elementary school). The Consumerist recently riffed on a column in The Star-Ledger , which reported on Chipotles practice of rounding the change in receipt totals for cash transactions at some restaurants. These locations do this so that cashiers dont have to handle lots of coins, which tends to slow the lines down. If youve ever been to Chipotle, you know that the food is dished out in assembly-line style, where you place your order and then walk along the counter, telling the staff that, yes, youd like some guacamole, please, but hold the rice. You pay at the end of the line.. Bucks blog notes that some customers of Chipotle Mexican Grill have complained about the chains practice of rounding receipt totals. Photo (M)
