[chipotle guacamole chip]Chipotle on Instagram A grower's strike in Mexico and a drought in California has resulted in a scramble across the US to keep up with avocado demand. Last week, the country imported just 8.5 million pounds of the produce from Mexico, according to data from the Hass Avocado Board. For comparison, last October, the US imported roughly 35 to 45 million pounds of Hass avocados every week from Mexico. Salad chain Sweetgreen announced earlier in October, it has been "a bit of a struggle" to maintain avocado supply. And social media reports indicate that Qdoba restaurants are running out of guacamole, at least in some locations, though the chain couldn't immediately respond to a request for comment. Independent restaurants such as La Vecindad in San Diego have been similarly struggling to keep up with guac demand. Tweet Embed: https://twitter.com/mims/statuses/790602470175150081 The guy at qdoba told me I couldn't get guac because "the entire country of Mexico is, like, out of avacados".......... pic.twitter.com/VZfCxEarSQ Tweet Embed: https://twitter.com/mims/statuses/789997769834401792 Went to Mexican restaurant, ordered guacamole. "Sorry, we're out of guac, there's an avocado shortage." Trump and his freaking wall. 💔 But one chain says there's no need to worry about shortages or price increases anytime soon. "We do not plan to raise prices for guacamole (we don't typically raise prices in response to short-term cyclical changes in food costs) and have not incurred any supply disruptions," Chipotle spokesperson Chris Arnold told Business Insider. Chipotle's guacamole is a key part of the brand's image — a bonus that many customers are more than willing to pay extra for. As the burrito chain struggles to make a comeback, the ability to keep up with guacamole demand as competitors struggle could help give Chipotle the edge it needs.

The head of Austria's right-wing party is calling German Chancellor Angela Merkel "the most dangerous woman in Europe" for her early liberal migrant policies and is warning of possible civil war if the influx of migrants is not stopped. Heinz-Christian Strache's comments Monday to supporters of his Freedom Party reflected the party's anti-migrant stance and were in stark contrast to more moderate positions being expressed by Norbert Hofer, the party's candidate for Austria's presidency. Slovenia's prime minister says his country has been strengthening border controls — including beefing up metal fences — to prepare for a potential new wave of migration into Europe. Miro Cerar says an increase in numbers of migrants trying to reach the European Union remains a "realistic possibility and we have to be ready for that scenario." Greek police say dozens of residents in an island camp for refugees and other migrants have set fire to part of the facility that handles asylum applications, during a protest over delays in the asylum process.

[REI Jerry Stritzke]REI REI CEO Jerry Stritzke says Macy's decision to open earlier than ever on Thanksgiving reflects poorly on the entire retail industry. Macy's is one of a few retailers that have revealed their opening hours during the Thanksgiving holiday weekend. The department-store chain will open at 5 p.m. on Thanksgiving Day to kick off its Black Friday sales. In an interview with Business Insider, Stritzke called Macy's decision "very disappointing" and said it "misses the point of what Thanksgiving is about." "Retail is tough today, but you have to stand for something — not just just 'come buy stuff,'" Stritzke said. "I hate to see that kind of decision. I hate to see it for the employees and I hate to see it for the retail industry. I don’t think it serves Macy's or retail well." Macy's has said it is opening on the holiday in response to "significant, ongoing customer interest in shopping on Thanksgiving." The company said it would staff its stores with employees who volunteer to work on the holiday and pay them overtime. Stritzke is an outspoken critic of Black Friday. This year, REI will again be closing on Black Friday and paying employees for the time off. Stritzke did the same last year so that employees could spend more time with their families. The retailer has never opened on Thanksgiving. Stritzke said the decision to close its stores on one of its most high-traffic days "was a big risk and we weren't quite sure how it would be received." Sales dipped over the holiday weekend but later rebounded, and the company was widely praised on social media for its decision. "We were blown away by how enthusiastic the response was," Stritzke said. "Obviously we lost sales on Black Friday, which was a very big day for us, but overall it didn’t hurt our trend." Many companies are taking a stand against the "holiday creep" by refusing to open stores on Thanksgiving this year, but REI is the only retail chain we know of that will not open on Black Friday.
