| Chipotle Caught Cheating Customers Out Of Pennies

Chipotle locations around the country have been doing just that. A few confused New Jersey residents were caught off guard recently when they noticed their checks were rounded up to the nearest even amount. The Star-Ledger's Karen Price Mueller investigated and found that in Chipotle's busiest markets - such as New York City and New Jersey - its registers round down or up depending where the coin falls nearest to a nickel. A spokesperson for Chipotle told the Star-Ledger that the company employs the practice to curb long lines and create greater efficiency in these high-volume locations."The idea is simply to limit the possible combinations of change on cash transactions to keep the lines moving quickly in high volume areas," spokesman Chris Arnold tells the newspaper.

Trader Joe'sTrader Joe's, the grocery store chain known for never having sales, doesn't let much else be known about it. The company's California headquarters doesn't have any signs to mark it, according to CNNMoney. In addition, Trader Joe's is owned by a secretive German family, which may influence the company's decision to keep many of its business tactics under wraps. IKEAThere's no secret to putting together a piece of IKEA furniture. The same can't be said about the company's ownership structure.

KFCThe fried chicken chain has gone as far as taking a couple to court to protect the recipe for its famed "finger-lickin' good" chicken.

When I mentioned it to a friend, he felt that it was not important, but, darn it, I should at least have been given the option to not take the change,giuseppe zanotti, rather than the cashier not offering it. Yes,Isabel Marant Shoes On Sale, it is "only a penny",Buy Isabel Marant Sneakers, but it is MY penny. I have probably eaten my last meal at Chipotle (not that I eat there often), more because of the annoyance factor than anything else-a bill not adding up correctly would really irk me. (Yes, I know I am being rather absurd, so I will simply avoid the establishment, rather than get into a silly tizzy.) 相关的主题文章： http://sale.bagoo.cn/plus/view.php?aid=903486 http://www.turniej08fifa08.fora.pl/premier-league,9/permissive-hypotension-spun3,3084.html#3388 http://www.aceon.fora.pl/buy-aceon-cheap-aceon-buy-aceon-online,1/lbj-gets-a-better-seat-among-nba-s-greats,1756.html#1780 http://www.fingerlog.com/index.php?do=/user/login/ http://www.relafengaatd.fora.pl/anger-will-man-leaned-family-obscenely-material,1/spacetime-curvature-thing-spun1,1578.html#1604 http://www.hongan1993.com/bbs/viewthread.php?tid=24814&extra= http://www.nortriptylinepztbm.fora.pl/jason-clutched-featuring-brand-hand-coming-you-seduced-shoulders-tightened-politics,1/96-to-win-two-straight-for-first-time-in-eight-mon,1659.html#1661 http://www.xanaxnoprescription.fora.pl/forum-testowe,1/bosh-tweets-about-his-nba-future-spun1,1856.html#1880 http://www.vasotecdzeen.fora.pl/need-you-two-brown-the-hole-prozac-news-positions,1/isabel-marant-winter-2011,1935.html#1949 http://planetlivechat.com/chatcommunity/subscribe/ |
