“I’ll give you one that I think is really good that people have decided is never coming back is Chipotle. They’ve got an ad. Stock was down to 35. I pushed it very hard last night because I was thrilled to hear that they have finally lowered expectations and the same store sales numbers will be better than what people think.

“Now finally the expectations are lowered and I think they are doing four specials. The specials bring in a lot of people. One time only.”
