Customers dining at Chipotle restaurants will see higher food prices thanks to a newly announced employee pay raise to $15 an hour.
The fast-casual Mexican food chain said menu prices will be raised by as much as 4% in order to mitigate the employee pay raises announced last month, which will pay employees $15 per hour by the end of June.
“It made sense in this scenario to invest in our employees and get these restaurants staffed and make sure that we have the pipeline of people to support our growth,” Chipotle CEO Brian Niccol said about the move. “And then with that, we’ve taken some pricing to cover some of that investment.”
Democrats across the country have actively pushed to raise the federal minimum wage to $15 an hour and recently failed to attach that provision into a recent COVID-19 spending package.

“YOU GET WHAT YOU VOTE FOR” or STEAL for !!!!!!!!!!!
Here is one thing servers don’t think about. If server is getting $15/hr I am NOT leaving a 20% tip. I may not leave any tip. I tipped well because I knew the per hour wages were low. $300 days are gone because the tips are gone now too.
These companies can not fall prey to dems. Wait out the enhanced unemployment. You will force other restaurants to raise their pay.Refuse to raise your salary . Or you will be a traitor.
Send the Bill to those thieves Biden and the DemonRats!
Well this should finish off some chains, 15 $$$ an hour to flip burgers is pure BS. Can’t afford to eat out now, and now with prices going up I’ll be staying at home more.
Exactly! You can thank that disgusting Joe Biden for this!
TRUE !
So true, most base rates for servers were around $2.83 to $4.50 an hour plus tips to make up the difference for the minimum wage. If you didn’t get tips, you didn’t make minimum.
With the attitude some of these people have they don’t deserve tips !
I know a lot that bust their behinds and people leave them nothing!!!
Do not tip anymore, they are making $15 an hour now. Tips were to make up the difference.
