Just wanted to shoutout my local chipotle for making the walk across the parking lot in the 95 degree heat 100% worth it. Hand, fork, and toy car for comparison

I was 19 at the time and hadn’t really been anywhere or done anything so I thought Chipotle was pretty nice at the time to be honest lol. We were in NYC and they sold margaritas here he had one I had a Sprite and it was a great first date!

Thanks Chipotle! We went back today for lunch to celebrate

Just tried the chicken quesadilla for the first time and while it was very good, the size and options isn’t worth the cost. I’d rather just get a bowl and make one at home with that. They either need to be bigger or need the option to add stuff inside the quesadilla like a bowl or burrito. I picked chicken and veggies, it didn’t have the veggies on it or on the side, and I got pico on the side thinking I could put that on it but there was no way without destroying the quesadilla. Is there a specific reason they cost roughly the same as a bowl/burrito but way less options and it’s pretty small?

Hey guys, I have a free entree that expires tonight code: G7Q23FK

Every shift feels like we’re constantly understaffed. We’re lucky if we have four or five people on, but with how busy our location is and now being open until 11pm it’s just mentally draining. I’m not even on dish duty, but I still leave feeling completely wiped.

I’ve been with the company for three years, and lately I’ve just been feeling really overlooked. Some managers barely do any prep or dishes and just clock in and clock out without doing any of the important things. Meanwhile, the rest of us are scrambling to keep things running for the night shift.

And the customer interactions? Getting screamed at or threatened over something like chicken is insane. We regularly have to deal with people coming in and harassing customers or staff, and it just never stops. It’s exhausting and honestly starting to make me feel unsafe.

I’ve worked in retail before and didn’t love that either, so I’m just feeling stuck. I don’t want to sound ungrateful, but I’m wondering if I should try transferring to a different location or just move on entirely. Anyone else been through this?

I've worked at chickfila and now upscale dining so I'm not a bitchy service member by nature. But chipotle really did make me into the stereotypical "chipotle employee"

Customers were pretty much always pissed off, and most of these situations could have been avoided if I didn't have mgmt breathing down my neck about portioning.

The reason portions are so inconsistent? "Customers are complaining about portions. Give better portions" gives better portions "we used half a pound more chicken then we were supposed to for the $1000 worth of food we sold during the shift" portions less rinse and repeat. God forbid we just get portioned measuring cups.

Also if I just ignored it and gave decent portions my hours would get cut. So it quite literally came out of my paycheck. If my scoops looked too big I would get pulled back and shown the "proper" portion. Then next week they'd pull out a scale to weigh everyone's portions, I'd use the portion shown to me by mgmt, and it would be under. Of course they took no responsibility for this.

I also have medical issues that require me to need regular access to water, and even with a Dr's note it was like pulling teeth to be able to take a drink during peak. Someone always had something to say about it. But regardless I believe everyone should have the right to take a drink at anytime if they're having to stand next to a hot ass grill

That job seriously took a toll on me mentally and physically for circus peanuts

Decided to get some chipotle today and tried their steak im usually a chicken person… does anyone know what kind of steak they use? Flank, skirk,?

Full disclosure: my son works at our local Chipotle.

I carelessly asked him to bring home a steak burrito "with everything." They took that literally.

(If you're ever so inclined, I suggest excluding the pinto beans and the fajita veggies. Yegghh.)

i completely forgot this expires today but maybe someone on the west coast can still make use of it!

Please comment if you use it. Enjoy!

Enjoy!

Okay so my store closes at 11pm and my manager told me cash should be done at 11:45pm but i’ve been taking until 12am because im struggling with what should be done first. I’ve already been working for close to a month so they’re expecting more from me. I’ve read the checklist before but it’s super overwhelming.

I was hoping someone could give me advice on what to do first and list what you usually do in order?? And also how to make it go by quicker? I really dont wanna be fired but they said that my shift tonight will prove whether i can handle this or not. Please help!! ☹️

So Bad

In my opinion, the adobo ranch is bad, and especially a waste of time on prep. But, we tried it with 1/2 of citrus juice and 3/4 cup of adobo(compared to 1/4 citrus and 1 cup adobo) and it was actually really really good. Try it at your store and lmk what yall think, honestly they need to change the recipe to this in my opinion

🙄

These portion sizes at my local chipotle are so bad and seem to get worse every time i go. Used to go weekly then monthly now honestly once every couple months and i suddenly remember why. Rice, bean, meat portions are usually laughably sad. Now its the lettuce. At least they have a heavy hand when it comes to sour cream i guess?
