I don't understand how high avocado prices could cause Chipotle to loose money. Guacamole is an optional add on why wouldn't they just raise the price of the guacamole to reflect the market price of avocado or use avocado futures to hedge their price risk.
nearly $2.00 a piece wholesale? I'm curious why the market hasn't been flooded by now. *As pointed out below, it takes at least 5 years for an Avocado tree to produce fruit, which explains why there aren't quick adjustments.

Qdoba, Chipotle's competitor, actually offers guac for free - which is super interesting to me!
Is there such a thing as imitation guac?
"We think customers understand that it isn't made from avocado," said Claire Regan, Kraft Foods' vice president of corporate affairs. "All of the ingredients are listed on the label for consumers to reference."
Was pleased to find a great selection on a trip to New Zealand recently, though kiwis still have trouble with the concept of guacamole and cal-mex recipes in general. Stiil good with just a spoon and black pepper thankfully.
Afraid you have nothing on Australians affair with Avocado. https://www.sbs.com.au/comedy/article/2016/10/17/i-stopped-e... It's a staple of the Australian diet, fairly certain it's one of the 5 fruits a day over there adorned on the walls of schools across the country. Seriously though, I've seen Avocado go for $6 a piece.....those were hard times.
Yeah at least it's not the great lime shortage of 2014 https://www.nytimes.com/2014/04/26/upshot/why-everyones-talk...

During the great lime shortage I continued to get a great deal on limes from 99 Ranch. The whole thing was a total joke.

Was proud to find out that the Haas avocado is from Southern California, where I grew up eating them and guac on just about everything. Other states used to make fun of that for years, implying we were all yoga hippies that put avocados on our salads FFS. Guess it’s finally caught on elsewhere.

He forgot to buy them. He's not being mean, he's being human.
Forgetting to buy them, yes, that's human. Trying to cover up instead of just saying "Sorry, honey, I forgot", that's at least tending toward mean.

I have no idea why, but limes are extortionately expensive in New Zealand, even for imported goods.
They're currently NZ$35 per kg (over US$10 per lb).
It's standard to get a slice of lemon in your Corona (which are also extortionately expensive in NZ)
