DOUBLE TAKE
Here's a free burrito to ease your gas pain

Wednesday, June 25, 2008 3:16 AM

THE COLUMBUS DISPATCH

Can a car run on beans and rice? Chipotle Mexican Grill thinks so -- sort of.

In an effort to offset the high cost of gasoline, the Mexican restaurant chain is offering customers free burritos, tacos or bowls from 5 to 8 p.m. today at Columbus-area stores -- one per person, no fax orders accepted.

The company said it wants customers to be able to spend the money they'd usually spend on dinner on gasoline instead.

"Columbus is a great market for us," said Crickett Karson, spokeswoman for Chipotle. "Our customers, many who are younger, are suffering at the pump. We thought, 'We have a little extra in the kitty, and let's give back.' "

At $5.25 to $5.75 per burrito, that's more than a gallon of gasoline per customer.

Unlike May's Papa John's 23-cent pizza debacle, which stopped traffic and shut down stores, Chipotle doesn't expect to get burned. "We're famous for giving away food," Karson said.

When Chipotle opened a store near Ohio University in Athens in April, it gave away more than 7,000 burritos in an all-day event, according to Karson.

"It was just pure awesomeness," said David Chrisman, who handles Columbus-area store marketing and worked at the Athens store that day. "We maintained a line of about 150 to 400 people. We did that for nine hours."

He said at the busiest time of the day, customers had to wait about 50 minutes, but most people waited about 30 minutes for a free burrito.

The company expects to give away more than 10,000 burritos citywide in today's three-hour event, Karson said.

"We're fast. If at 8 p.m. there are people still in line, we'll hand them a free burrito card. We're not going to shut stores down," she said.

Uh, French Lick Indiana hasn't had a poker room since Mothers Day
I haven't been there since then. Well actually I'm in the Lick once a week but that's for work, not the casino.

They were going to bring on those electronic tables, but nobody really wanted those. Rumor has it, they'll bring back poker in the winter again. I'm not real sure. From what I have learned and from my sources there, nobody has any idea what the fuck is going on, nor does management have a clue on how to run the damn place.

It was even more standard that the guy that won the Bad Beat Jackpot from the Poker Room Closing down of 200K was a one hundred million dollar man.

Go fkn figure.

LOL

God, I really want Chipotle now. If I'm not playing cards, I might as well overeat.

What a waste of time. Unless you are some broke ass college student, there is no reason to do this. There was a new one opening up during summer break nearby ASU, so my girlfriend and I headed down there, saw the line, and drove to some Mexican Restaurant.

Sorry, but waiting an hour plus for several $5 burritos isn't worth my time.

That_pope, get serious, I fixed your post.

EF FRENCH LICK FOR SHUTTING DOWN THAT ROOM! Stop freezing water and fucking leave your house for once and you might stumble upon a chipotle.

You can always go down for a little texas hold 'em bonus action..
