shaunbwilson:
Two years ago, [Chipotle CEO Steve Ells] was a man who worried about exactly how the oregano in the burrito was chopped. “They were washing it and not drying it –- so when they chopped it, it was clumpy,” he told me. “This is wrong! We need it to be dry and fluffy when you chop it. So we put together a drying procedure.” Could the customer tell the difference, I asked....
