for my area, i think its unacceptable. bonsall is 3 miles away from the chipotle here, and bonsall is well-known for their vast avocado fields and pretty much being a big producer and supplier in the avocado business. at costco, henry's, albertsons, etc. avocados are always on sale for 3/$0.99 or sometimes even cheaper. so i think the chipotle near me should purchase from local suppliers and cut their costs.
its funny too, because the one down the street is struggling for business. why pay $9 for a meal when there are 3 24 hour mexican fast food joints all within a 2 miles radius. that store is always running special promotions.
edit: btw, look at in-n-out go!
