Qdoba really sucks, who doesn't even give you some free cheeps with a $8 lunch.. same for Chipotle...

 

[engineergurl]

never been there either

Only thing Qdoba has going for it is their queso. Chipotle is better with everything else.

this. I have never been a fan of the Q

I love Qdoba. However, there is no Chipotle near here so I can't really compare.

I'm not entirely sure this was designed to screw over those bad at math. One of my coworkers gets all kinds of extras on his burrito so he loves this change. I've always been too cheap to pay for extras, but now I might start getting some guac. I think it may be an attempt to get people to keep coming back and try different things since now you don't have to pay for the extras whereas before your free options were limited and you could easily end up getting bored with the same handful of options over and over.

I do find it odd that some locations (the ATL airport) they do give you chips with your order, but others they don't. And just a tip, if you get a "naked" burrito (no tortilla), they'll give you chips for free.

Apparently the Qdoba in our town couldn't get the math and marketing to work. It's now boarded up which is sad. I like Qdoba better than Chipotle mostly because of the Queso. They were more willing to put a little extra cheese and sour cream on, too. maybe that's why their closed now. I like Chipotle too but the "humanely raised" marketing crap annoys me. Like their chickens were happier in life than my chickens.Whatever, just give me my overpriced burrito. ldman:

That's why I like Qdoba.

So glad I sold some of my PTO back, my tax rate just wasn't high enough without it. 40% gone. F*ck.

#%^&@( how do you get the stink of frebreeze off? I have scrubbed my hands several times and I can't get the smell off. Minisnick had some surface wash only pillows that were a little smelly so i used frebreeze on them.

 

[matt267 PE]

Bleach?

 

[MA_PE]

you could clean RG's truck that'll take are of that Febreeze smell and if it didn't you'd be glad.

I bet whatever EE spilled the beans about putting in a shunt wire was drawn and quartered by the x-mas light manufacturers.

we gave up and upgraded to LEDs. Our lights were probably 10 yrs old and didn't get used the last two christmases.

You can't parallel wire the mini incandescent lights because they are rated 2.5 V and would instantly blow if you applied line voltage to them. I suppose you could put in a 120:2.5 V transformer and then parallel wire them, but the losses at 2.5 V would be huge unless you used giant wire, so between the giant wire and the transformer the light string would be awfully expensive.

An alternative would be to use 120 V rated lamps--which is what they did back in the old days--but it's difficult to get them as low wattage as the 2.5 V lamps and you end up wasting a lot of energy.

We had a pre-lit tree where 2/3rds stopped working... we just wrapped more lights on to it
