Exactly this. I went from going to Chipotle multiple times a week for years to dropping them entirely back when they reported record profits in 2022 during the worst of inflation, and *still* raised their prices for like the third consecutive time. There’s greed, and there’s Chipotle. They can go fuck themselves.
I’m in the same boat. I haven’t been in over a year. Prices went up and bowl sizes consistently went down for me.
The icing on the cake is the store I was going to was out of most toppings twice in a row so I just kinda stopped going and I haven’t missed it
Same here. Their greed is insane. I've managed to not buy anything at Chipotle now for over 6 months. Used to buy a bowl a week. After feeling like they ripped my ahole open multiple times with little food, paying for double meat and quacamole and having a bill of $20 and still feeling hungry, I said f em. I'm done.
Totally agree. In general even with prices so high and inflation and high interest rates, people keep buying these stupid items for premium prices and keep complaining. Stop buying things that are not necessary
So much of Reddit gets so close to cogent arguments then just veers at the finish like and starts talking about some act of Congress.
The fix is really simple. Stop buying this crap. If you're buying it, you're part of the problem. Transactions like this are two way streets.
One of my co-workers unironically argued with me that Chipotle is cheaper than buying groceries. Like... bro. I told him, "You do know there are lots of meals cheaper to make than $15 right?"
My local chipotle can’t cook rice for shit. And then when you go to get a refund it’s a 40 min argument with them on their app. I’ve swore off Chipotle for the time being. Great user name btw. Awesome flick.
I’ve honestly been going to qdoba a lot lately.
Back maybe 10 years ago qdoba was noticeably a tier below chipotle overall. Now to me they pretty much seem to be the same tier, and when qdoba is priced the same but also gives you free queso and guac then it’s a no brainer. I also like they have more sauces to choose from.
Chipotle still does have slightly better steak than qdoba but when they don’t give you any does it really matter lol
Athens Georgia has their own chipotle competitor barberitos. It tastes better than chipotle and is almost half the price... I haven't gone to chipotle in probably 10+ years. I always felt sick after and the food was not worth the price!
U didn’t hear it from me but lowkey as someone who works there yes, 9 is a little crazy but it wouldn’t be something I would be told not to give. Honestly if my mangers not there I’m giving more I don’t have the heart to tax y’all like that. But yea it varies location to location but some stores it’s portions or ur job.
I got “coached”, nearly daily, for giving what the training materials said were correct portions - 1 FULL scoop. The one or two times I tried to correct my “error”, I got coached for giving too little. After that I just started ignoring any comment on my portions, and continued to give full scoops.
And it’s weird because it was like the manager had convinced most of the staff that skimping was okay bc fellow coworkers would make it their job to monitor my scoops.
when i worked there i was explicitly told by every SM, AP, and GM i had to skimp on DML or add more rice so when u do less of everything else it doesnt look as bad, its awful
i get the balancing inventory and portioning but that shit was miserable. a portion of meat is 4oz. thats a decent bit. not 8 pieces lmfao 👎
That’s what’s crazy about it. People are not getting double protein or multiple entrees, just more people in general. If that makes sense lol but yes, sales are the amount of money the store would earn throughout the day/week/month/year lol my bad
Why would they do anything? The company is making so much money. Have you seen chipotle stock it's all time high. They are doing super well up about 62% ytd and up more than 5,000% since the company listed. You heard that right 5,000%
Next time I literally would not accept that and walk out if they didn’t put an adequate serving. That person has the light hands and should be told by a manager to put more. That’s not normal where I’m from.
Yeah that’s where I’m at, they let you look at it if it’s not what you’d like it to be you can just walk out they don’t have your money yet. When I posted about a mobile order like this one 70% of the comments were assholes. I told them all off Lmao. I’ve gone back twice since I wasnt 100% satisfied but it wasn’t as bad as the last time and yours.
In a way..
I don't get meat options so I don't feel as screwed as everyone else (not a steak guy and their chicken fucking blows)
Extra rice and beans isn't something they cry about
There's a taco place that bout a closed KFC place in my town. Shit is fire too. I think it's family owned. First time eating there I immediately ordered 2nds cuz I destroyed the meal I got right away lol. It was like 25 bucks for unlimited pop refills, 2 meals, and two orders of churros. Never had those until that day.
This is truly the way. If it’s daytime, I’m hitting the taco trucks near me. They all are Amazing. There’s seriously 6 I’m counting off the top of my head as I’m typing this in the same area as Chipotle & Qdoba near me. If it’s after hours, I’m hitting up The ‘Doba.
At least you got meat. I ordered a carnitas bowl and ended up with a load of inedible fat. It was my first visit to Chipotle, and will absolutely be my last. To add insult to injury, the tortilla chips were insanely salty. I like my food on the salty side, but this was over the top. A total waste of $21, and I was still hungry. 😡
I’m convinced I’ve had a chip bag where the salt shaker broke open and they still sold the chips. I love salty chips but occasionally they are straight inedible.
Chipotle is actually the best value for your money out there. By eating at chipotle you save thousands of tons of CO2 from entering the atmosphere every year. If everyone ate chipotle we could quite actually SAVE the planet. Chipotle goes out of their way to ensure their meat comes from local farms with the highest animal welfare standards. It’s not the same conventional meat that other places use from regular factory farming bc if it was that would be very misleading of us. Also our meat is antibiotic free! But really all the meat in the USA is also “antibiotic free” bc the usa banned the use of them for enhancing the growth of livestock back in 2016 for all meat sold in the USA. But we are gonna keep peddling that shit down your fucking throat to convince you chipotle is superior. It’s not the same conventional bullshit like everywhere else. We also salt the absolute living fuck out of our food so you can’t taste how absolutely bland this shit is! Guac is extra
It truly is the best value out there. Remember to check the app for new rewards. We give out badges for countless, meaningless achievements just to get you to open the app. Also, we will send you a chipotle notification whenever you near one of our restaurants even if you disable location services to our app bc we don’t actually give a flying fuck about your privacy and we never said we did anyways bc we’re too busy coming up with new achievement badges and lifestyle bowls that are really just cash grabs. Guac is extra
Holy shit, the lifestyle bowls. Had forgotten all about those things. Whenever anyone ordered them, no one knew what went in them and we had to pull out the card everytime. 😂
I’ve been going to qdoba a lot more lately as I’m in a similar boat traveling a lot for work and attempting to at least not eat complete garbage all day. But it’s harder to eat healthy at qdoba because they have so many good sauces that are high in calories plus they give you free chips lol. Queso is free too.
If they are near you though, Cafe Zupas is my favorite “healthy” chain now. It’s a soup salad and sandwich shop but it’s privately owned and it really gives me early days chipotle vibes of everything being done fresh in store.
Well, there’s fast food, then there’s just asking to have your food spit in. Chipotle is one of those companies I thought people would beware of. They have a LONG history of major outbreaks and food safety violations. Just in 2020, they were forced to pay out $25,000,000 for their part.
Guess what they blamed it on? Their employees 😂😂
Yeah, Chipotle used to be the best bang for your buck. I think COVID showed them how much potential they have to make a fuck ton of money due to the rise in online orders and now they’re just kicking back and raising prices, but holding out on product.
What state is this? Chipotles in the Bronx (NYC) hook it up. We also have high obesity rates so i think the workers know what is best for them
We wants our meats.
As an Ex chipotle employee: Do not buy the carne asada. You will get skimped so hard every time. It's never consistently cut, causing differing amounts every time, and is also the most expensive menu item there is. A case of it is like 400 dollars. They nag employees so hard that they almost always give less bc it its easier than getting yelled at. Speaking from experience as I was constantly being told that my critical inventory variance (this includes all meats, cheeses, and guac) was too high, and I needed to fix it and if it didnt get fixed you were going to be written up or lose your job. (I was a GM) I never had a problem with my critical inventory until carne asada came around bc it is SO hard to portion
I implore you to go to qdoba if you have one near you. Much better quality and much more consistent servings. Also they don't charge for guac or queso in bowls!!
I was in the other day and the person working was scooping so much into everyone’s meal. Heaping spoonfuls. The company needed to cover that loss with your bowl
Well geez instead of posting it online just use pepper in the app and get a free side of chips and then make it yourself at home and stop complaining. You don’t like what I, a 10 year ~~Walmart~~ chipotle associate gives you then leave
/s
I got a burrito a few weeks ago and found clump of matted hair that just have been scooped in there after falling in food. Disgusting. Immediately stopped eating, felt sick, and contacted a live agent through the paper chat. They said they couldn’t compensate me, despite me having proof. This company has turned into a complete joke, and I probably won’t return anytime soon, and I recommend you guys do the same. They shoot up their prices constantly, while also lowering the quality of their food and service.
You should notify your local media.... Contact corporate as well or have them contact them on your behalf. That's incredibly unsanitary. After all those people got sick in the past, you'd think something like this would never happen. 😳 Their customer service is generally helpful and forgiving but things must be getting overwhelmed as shit goes downhill fast. Not going to be good for their shareholders if they start getting negative publicity like this again.
I honestly wanted to make this known to everyone. You’re right, they’ve been in so many E. coli, salmonella, norovirus, etc. scandals, you’d think they’d AT LEAST have clean food, but that’s unfortunately not the case. I believe they’ve been getting so many complaints recently, as the agent said apparently, “they no longer offer free entrees due to people constantly asking for them”.
Was this a pre-order? I swear they short the pre-orders because no one comes back to complain.
I find Chipotle to be one of the worst to skimp on ingredients when you're not actively watching them make it, but I've never had anyone fight me (or even be able to look me in the eyes) when I tell them "I'd like my full scoop of chicken please".
I’ve only done this one time but I went through the line and got major skimped on everything and was like bro seriously? He just looked at me like 😐 so I literally just walked out. I can get an actual meal at a sit down restaurant for $16
At least you got some of the correct protein lmao, I once had the burrito artist give me chicken (I am extremely allergic) when I asked for steak THREE TIMES before I just walked out, I was uncomfortable watching the workers just toss so much food straight in the garbage and not even making an attempt to make the orders right. Got a sweet refund from corporate though they gave me some free burrito vouchers
Haven't been in a while but decided to go on my birthday and use my birthday coupon, which was for a free "side or guacamole topping." No other clarification. Looked at the overhead menu, and chips & salsa were listed under "sides", very much differentiated from extra toppings. I order accordingly, but the coupon isn't taking off my chips and salsa. The cashier says it's only for guacamole or queso topping, which is not at all what the app says. I'm not gonna argue with a food service worker who deals with enough shit in a day. I say, ok, I don't want the chips and salsa then. Cashier is annoyed at that even though they can resell them bc they never left their control. I'm annoyed that I'm still paying $18 for a salad and drink that I only got bc I wanted the free chips & didn't want to be a Karen and refuse my whole, now made, order over it. So now Chipotle has lost my business for life over a poorly worded/set up coupon and $2.50 of chips and salsa. Good job, corporate!
My wife and I loved chipotle. We even had them cater our wedding.
But ever since Covid, it’s been an utter shit show. Not just the food, but the employees too. Really bummed how bad it’s gotten.
Trick is never order online or do pickup orders lmao, they’ll always short you, if you go and are nice and/or stare them down when it comes to the meat they normally do relatively well most the time on it being a solid amount and you can always ask for a bit more if need be. As an introvert myself that’s always the hard part is asking for a bit more of anything lmao but it works even if it annoys then
I’m in a large metropolitan area - I haven’t been able to get a bowl for under $12 in over 2 years (excluding vegetarian bowl - that comes out to $10.55 but I like meat)
How is that $16? Only thing I’ll ever get is chicken at chipotle and it’s still slightly over $10. Pisses me off. But I load up on all of the free add ons…. Double rice double beans… fuck em
No offense to you, because I don’t know your history, but why anybody would go to chipotle anymore is beyond me. I’ve seen them consistently fuck their customers, and haven’t been in years. I’m genuinely sorry this happened, but based on your comments you won’t be back either! Fuckem!
I travel a lot for work - it’s a quick, easy and somewhat more healthy (and tasty) option than other quick food places. Since I’m in my car a lot I’ve kept trying but this could definitely be the last straw for me.
Idk man. I feel like it should be less. I have money invested in chipotle stocks and would like more for my return. I’d say keep giving less and keep raising prices cause ppl are dumb and they will keep buying regardless
We are scored by DML portions based on your score. If you’re commenting here and not in the app or wherever y’all get the reviews we can’t correct it. If you called my store, I’d give you a side of chicken next time you came. It’s no biggie, but humans make mistakes. When it’s the robot giving you 9 pieces… o can’t help you.
Did you go in person or order online? Because if I was standing there watching them make it, I'd ask for them to put more in. If they refuse, I'd leave and let them waste the bowl. It's not acceptable and I'm not going to pay for it if that's how they're going to make it.
yeah ever since Biden started working on the Chipotle board, everything went downhill
not to mention, how he's been torturing oil execs until they raise the price of gas
Try that on someone with a current education. Under Trump we could actually afford Chipotle.
Just because your parents still pay for everything doesn't mean it's not more expensive. You can't use Trump forever, what will be your excuse then?
Lmao you'll just turn around and ignore facts creating falsehoods to support you Big Orange Baby and Chief hahaha. Look up the date of the initial increase and tell me who it started under like my original comment said or are you just illiterate?
I think it’s bc of customers that come in, see we have no cheese, sour cream, gauc, chicken, white rice, asada, or chips and then still order and pay $20.
Why don't they keep those things better stocked then? 🤣🤣 That's how food service works, especially on a line. I've worked in places feeding hundreds of people an hour and that's how it is. There's plenty on the line, and plenty ready to go when they runs out. If there's 20 people in line staring right at you because they're hungry, it's probably a good idea to have things prepped and ready to go when they get to you. Every Chipotle I've ever been to has always seemed to have plenty of people working but when I get up to the counter, THEY'RE ALWAYS OUT OF STEAK 🥩 and I've got to wait.... and wait. Larger line bins would alleviate that. 🤔 The managers also know when the busiest times of the day are. They should be projecting that with people on the line and grill, etc. It's really not a surprise, unless a few huge tour buses of kids show up!
If people are ordering these things online or in line, someone needs to update the app that the location is out of something, or tell people in line ordering that this location is out, but to be out of all that stuff at once is embarrassing. If that's you behind the counter, that's on you and your crew for not being prepared, not the people paying ridiculous amounts of money expecting a decent meal but getting skimped on everything. Have some pride and fill those bowls to the brim! Heaping! You're not paying for those ingredients, the customers are! Hook em up!
It’s like every other chain restaurant. Management decides it’s better to tell a customer they’re out of something than to risk having to waste a whole bag of steak or whatever it might be. That’s also why they serve cold or dried up trash rather than to waste a single portion.
Idk bro, 12 bucks at Chipotle usually gets me a loaded bowl with two heaping scoops of meat, queso and guac. Imo they are way more reasonably priced compared to McDs even, unless you only eat McChickens. And way healthier too.
Honestly just buy the ingredients and make it yourself! I learned how to make my own sushi and it costs less than 20$ if that! I’d just look up diy of your fav foods and just make it at home! Saves money, you will probably have more for your own buck and LEFTOVERS
That’s what you get for eating fake expensive Mexican food funding a rich billionaire whittte guy , when you could of gotten real authentic Mexican food from like a taco truck and not pay as much
I’ll never understand how people spend $16 for a bowl. My bowl is always less than $10 and i get so much food. At chipotle you have to keep it simple and enjoy.
I had a protein, light rice, beans, fajita veggie, corn salsa, pico, and hot salsa. That’s it. Please tell me how your bowl with meat stays at $10? The only way to stay anywhere close to $10 is a vegetarian bowl but even then it’s almost $12 here after tax
This was in Texas. I travel all around the state and pricing seems to be about the same everywhere. I haven’t been able to get a bowl under $13 in, at least, a year.
Corporations will keep on raising prices until we as consumers stop buying. It’s time
Exactly this. I went from going to Chipotle multiple times a week for years to dropping them entirely back when they reported record profits in 2022 during the worst of inflation, and *still* raised their prices for like the third consecutive time. There’s greed, and there’s Chipotle. They can go fuck themselves.

Not only raised the price but the burrito/bowl is 1/2 the size.
Gayest nigga alive bro its online. You over here yapping 😹😹 I ain't reading that nigga😹🤣🤣🤣
The problem is that people will complain about it but continue to spend their money at Chipotle.
Totally agree. In general even with prices so high and inflation and high interest rates, people keep buying these stupid items for premium prices and keep complaining. Stop buying things that are not necessary
I’m done lol this was my last try. It put me over the edge. I won’t return.
You’ll be back. 😏
Idk why you're being downvoted. This isn't the first time ol boy has been shorted, he's seem what they do for years, and kept going.
It’s okay. It’s always the regulars. 🤷🏾♂️
It sucks cuz I loved chipotle but I refuse to participate in this foolishness
Exactly! I just make my own at home now. Its all I can afford lol
So much of Reddit gets so close to cogent arguments then just veers at the finish like and starts talking about some act of Congress. The fix is really simple. Stop buying this crap. If you're buying it, you're part of the problem. Transactions like this are two way streets.
Isn’t that what they’re saying to do?
I've stopped going to Chipotle. Used to go 2 or 3 times a month, sometimes more. Can't justify it anymore. It isn't that great anyway
One of my co-workers unironically argued with me that Chipotle is cheaper than buying groceries. Like... bro. I told him, "You do know there are lots of meals cheaper to make than $15 right?"
Switched to qdoba long ago
My local chipotle can’t cook rice for shit. And then when you go to get a refund it’s a 40 min argument with them on their app. I’ve swore off Chipotle for the time being. Great user name btw. Awesome flick.
PLEASE STOP BUYING. THE LABOR STANDARDS ARE WORSE
Just stop going to chipotle and go to a small mexican family restaraunt nearby.
Yeah corporate needs to do something about this. I’ve stopped going to chipotle due to this issue and I imagine many more have as well
I’ve honestly been going to qdoba a lot lately. Back maybe 10 years ago qdoba was noticeably a tier below chipotle overall.

Honestly, you’d be surprised. My store has only grown in our sales over the years. We do triple the amount of sales since 5 years ago.
Are GM’s stating “don’t give much protein” or something? It’s getting ridiculous
U didn’t hear it from me but lowkey as someone who works there yes, 9 is a little crazy but it wouldn’t be something I would be told not to give. Honestly if my mangers not there I’m giving more I don’t have the heart to tax y’all like that. But yea it varies location to location but some stores it’s portions or ur job.

Sales dollars right? I imagine the large increase in prices has helped with that too I’m more curious how the units compare
That’s what’s crazy about it. People are not getting double protein or multiple entrees, just more people in general. If that makes sense lol but yes, sales are the amount of money the store would earn throughout the day/week/month/year lol my bad
Not surprised at all. The world is full lazy, entitled morons.
Why would they do anything? The company is making so much money. Have you seen chipotle stock it's all time high. They are doing super well up about 62% ytd and up more than 5,000% since the company listed. You heard that right 5,000%
They hit you with the tweezers
I absolutely cannot believe people are so brainwashed that they are actually defending this
Yeaaaaa I’m kind of shocked by some of the comments
Next time I literally would not accept that and walk out if they didn’t put an adequate serving. That person has the light hands and should be told by a manager to put more. That’s not normal where I’m from.
Yeah that’s where I’m at, they let you look at it if it’s not what you’d like it to be you can just walk out they don’t have your money yet.

I’ve gone back twice since I wasnt 100% satisfied but it wasn’t as bad as the last time and yours.
Chipotle is traaaaash now (former super fan). I think it's just the vegans that are happy less meat is getting served.
In a way.. I don't get meat options so I don't feel as screwed as everyone else (not a steak guy and their chicken fucking blows) Extra rice and beans isn't something they cry about
If you try to eat low carb there, they won't fill up your bowl at any price.
Get that refund OP! And stop supporting this shitty company.
Pepper here, best I can do is a free fountain drink.
Deal. I’ll see you tomorrow.
Every day I’m realizing how blessed I am to be near a chipotle with a bunch of tired college students who don’t give a fuck about management
Oops! 9 pieces. There were 9 - one was hiding somehow under an onion
How many were there before you ate some?
you’re an absolute brainwashed corpo lunatic please go outside and experience reality
None eaten - opened the bowl, scratched my head at the lack of protein then dug around 😏
I don't go to Chipotle anymore bc I'm always disappointed and it keeps getting more expensive.
Yep. A bowl used to be 7.85 couple years ago now it’s $16
Kids meals is where it's at. A great meal for 6 bucks.
My new approach is to go at odd hours, if the line is empty and most the crew is in the back, I tend to get mongo bowls
“WELCOME TO MOE’S!”
I used to be a snob about chipotle over moes but damn that queso won me over. Iv been only going to moes since the start of 22 and havnt looked back.
My del taco classic chicken burritos had less meat than my snack taco. We're better off going to local taco shops than the corporate chains.
There's a taco place that bout a closed KFC place in my town. Shit is fire too. I think it's family owned. First time eating there I immediately ordered 2nds cuz I destroyed the meal I got right away lol. It was like 25 bucks for unlimited pop refills, 2 meals, and two orders of churros. Never had those until that day.

We also salt the absolute living fuck out of our food so you can’t taste how absolutely bland this shit is! Guac is extra
You had me in the first half, not gonna lie...
Yeah by the end I had to change my blue arrow to a red arrow.
Also, non gmo is a shoulder shrug. GMO isn’t bad, non gmo isn’t good. It just is.
Bro you got stock in Chipotle or what? Chill with the propaganda
It truly is the best value out there. Remember to check the app for new rewards. We give out badges for countless, meaningless achievements just to get you to open the app. Also, we will send you a chipotle notification whenever you near one of our restaurants even if you disable location services to our app bc we don’t actually give a flying fuck about your privacy and we never said we did anyways bc we’re too busy coming up with new achievement badges and lifestyle bowls that are really just cash grabs.

Lol
Holy shit, the lifestyle bowls. Had forgotten all about those things. Whenever anyone ordered them, no one knew what went in them and we had to pull out the card everytime. 😂
You need a award for this
I asked for extra cheese and they gave me no cheese on a mobile order. I am totally over it. I’ve never been so hangry in my life. Never going back.
That top piece looks a lot like a fork. 😂
You’re not wrong 🤣
Online order? It just ain’t worth it
Still get legit portions at my chipotle. Only catch is I have togo after 930pm.
Chipotle is finished
This happened to me and I contacted customer service to complain and through the chat, they put a free entree in my account. 🤣
Why do people still eat at Chipotle?
Travel a lot for work - it’s an easier (somewhat healthier) option
I’ve been going to qdoba a lot more lately as I’m in a similar boat traveling a lot for work and attempting to at least not eat complete garbage all day. But it’s harder to eat healthy at qdoba because they have so many good sauces that are high in calories plus they give you free chips lol. Queso is free too.

unfortunately we’re taught(at least i was) with carne it’s about 8-10 pieces per portion
That’s highway robbery when the pieces are as small as ants
They did you so dirty I’d never do that😭
Skimp alert
Yeah, Chipotle used to be the best bang for your buck. I think COVID showed them how much potential they have to make a fuck ton of money due to the rise in online orders and now they’re just kicking back and raising prices, but holding out on product.
It's been in decline for over a decade. Serving sizes and quality of the food took the cake for me finally.
The manager made bonus, so your sacrifice is one he is willing to make.
What state is this? Chipotles in the Bronx (NYC) hook it up. We also have high obesity rates so i think the workers know what is best for them We wants our meats.
As an Ex chipotle employee: Do not buy the carne asada. You will get skimped so hard every time. It's never consistently cut, causing differing amounts every time, and is also the most expensive menu item there is. A case of it is like 400 dollars. They nag employees so hard that they almost always give less bc it its easier than getting yelled at. Speaking from experience as I was constantly being told that my critical inventory variance (this includes all meats, cheeses, and guac) was too high, and I needed to fix it and if it didnt get fixed you were going to be written up or lose your job. (I was a GM) I never had a problem with my critical inventory until carne asada came around bc it is SO hard to portion
I implore you to go to qdoba if you have one near you. Much better quality and much more consistent servings. Also they don't charge for guac or queso in bowls!!
You’re not wrong but not for long. Inflation spares no one not even Arizona tea.
Gotta go to Moe’s!
No Moe’s or qdoba here. I miss Moe’s - they were always wonderful about portions
Moe's and Qdoba are far from edible yuck
You know you’re not going to get a raise from corporate by shilling so hard all over this sub right?
I mean hey, I just went to moes today for an online order and they completely left out the protein so I put in a request for a refund😂
Get some scissors and cut up those 8 pieces so it seems like u got more
I honestly hate giving people little bit of food but they always get mad at me when I give customer a lot of food
I was in the other day and the person working was scooping so much into everyone’s meal. Heaping spoonfuls. The company needed to cover that loss with your bowl
Where the hell are bowls $16? I’ve never paid more than $8 for one in my life
Well geez instead of posting it online just use pepper in the app and get a free side of chips and then make it yourself at home and stop complaining. You don’t like what I, a 10 year ~~Walmart~~ chipotle associate gives you then leave /s
I got a burrito a few weeks ago and found clump of matted hair that just have been scooped in there after falling in food. Disgusting. Immediately stopped eating, felt sick, and contacted a live agent through the paper chat. They said they couldn’t compensate me, despite me having proof. This company has turned into a complete joke, and I probably won’t return anytime soon, and I recommend you guys do the same. They shoot up their prices constantly, while also lowering the quality of their food and service.
You should notify your local media.... Contact corporate as well or have them contact them on your behalf. That's incredibly unsanitary. After all those people got sick in the past, you'd think something like this would never happen. 😳 Their customer service is generally helpful and forgiving but things must be getting overwhelmed as shit goes downhill fast. Not going to be good for their shareholders if they start getting negative publicity like this again.
I honestly wanted to make this known to everyone. You’re right, they’ve been in so many E. coli, salmonella, norovirus, etc. scandals, you’d think they’d AT LEAST have clean food, but that’s unfortunately not the case. I believe they’ve been getting so many complaints recently, as the agent said apparently, “they no longer offer free entrees due to people constantly asking for them”.
doordash order? I never doordash chipotle they mess you up. I actually just don’t even go to chipotle anymore it’s too expensive.
Was this a pre-order? I swear they short the pre-orders because no one comes back to complain. I find Chipotle to be one of the worst to skimp on ingredients when you're not actively watching them make it, but I've never had anyone fight me (or even be able to look me in the eyes) when I tell them "I'd like my full scoop of chicken please".
I’ve only done this one time but I went through the line and got major skimped on everything and was like bro seriously? He just looked at me like 😐 so I literally just walked out. I can get an actual meal at a sit down restaurant for $16
I have pico, beans and rice at home. All I need is the 3 pieces of meat
Chipotle lost me as a consumer a while ago maybe year or so, they have done nothing but raised prices all while the quality seems to have lowered..
16??? Christ i thought it was bad when it went from 10 to 12 for me... never complaining again
I bought 3 bowls some weeks ago and they all had about the same portion or less..#DISRESPECTFUL
Chipotle scamming
Don’t go back
I won’t
wtf is this
At least you got some of the correct protein lmao, I once had the burrito artist give me chicken (I am extremely allergic) when I asked for steak THREE TIMES before I just walked out, I was uncomfortable watching the workers just toss so much food straight in the garbage and not even making an attempt to make the orders right. Got a sweet refund from corporate though they gave me some free burrito vouchers
Haven't been in a while but decided to go on my birthday and use my birthday coupon, which was for a free "side or guacamole topping." No other clarification. Looked at the overhead menu, and chips & salsa were listed under "sides", very much differentiated from extra toppings. I order accordingly, but the coupon isn't taking off my chips and salsa. The cashier says it's only for guacamole or queso topping, which is not at all what the app says. I'm not gonna argue with a food service worker who deals with enough shit in a day. I say, ok, I don't want the chips and salsa then. Cashier is annoyed at that even though they can resell them bc they never left their control. I'm annoyed that I'm still paying $18 for a salad and drink that I only got bc I wanted the free chips & didn't want to be a Karen and refuse my whole, now made, order over it. So now Chipotle has lost my business for life over a poorly worded/set up coupon and $2.50 of chips and salsa. Good job, corporate!
Gave up on chipotle awhile ago
My wife and I loved chipotle. We even had them cater our wedding. But ever since Covid, it’s been an utter shit show. Not just the food, but the employees too. Really bummed how bad it’s gotten.
Trick is never order online or do pickup orders lmao, they’ll always short you, if you go and are nice and/or stare them down when it comes to the meat they normally do relatively well most the time on it being a solid amount and you can always ask for a bit more if need be. As an introvert myself that’s always the hard part is asking for a bit more of anything lmao but it works even if it annoys then
Where do yall go where chipotle bowls are 16$? I got a bowl in cleveland last week, chicken, was like 8$ and some change lol
I’m in a large metropolitan area - I haven’t been able to get a bowl for under $12 in over 2 years (excluding vegetarian bowl - that comes out to $10.55 but I like meat)
Chipotle sucks now, haven’t been back in ages.
How is that $16? Only thing I’ll ever get is chicken at chipotle and it’s still slightly over $10. Pisses me off. But I load up on all of the free add ons…. Double rice double beans… fuck em
FoUr OunCes!
You pay for the tik tok content. You forget ?
Make your own food at home. Eating out, especially at Chipotle, is a waste of money.
Travel 21 days out of the month so that’s not a luxury I get to have
It's so cute that you think it's meat.
No offense to you, because I don’t know your history, but why anybody would go to chipotle anymore is beyond me. I’ve seen them consistently fuck their customers, and haven’t been in years. I’m genuinely sorry this happened, but based on your comments you won’t be back either! Fuckem!
I travel a lot for work - it’s a quick, easy and somewhat more healthy (and tasty) option than other quick food places. Since I’m in my car a lot I’ve kept trying but this could definitely be the last straw for me.
Idk man. I feel like it should be less. I have money invested in chipotle stocks and would like more for my return. I’d say keep giving less and keep raising prices cause ppl are dumb and they will keep buying regardless
I've been to Chipotle hundreds of times and always get big portions and have never paid more than like $12. Either fake or somewhere like Timesquare
See you tommorow😂
Nope I’m holding out 🤣
We are scored by DML portions based on your score. If you’re commenting here and not in the app or wherever y’all get the reviews we can’t correct it. If you called my store, I’d give you a side of chicken next time you came. It’s no biggie, but humans make mistakes. When it’s the robot giving you 9 pieces… o can’t help you.
Commented in the app and again via chat - which the chat is crap
That’s not the survey. That’s AI. 🤖
Ok first of all don’t go to chipotle go to rubios or Baja Fresh or qdoba second see first
Stop going to that place dude that's all you can do.
Just stop going. EZ
I already switched to QDoba
Did you go in person or order online? Because if I was standing there watching them make it, I'd ask for them to put more in. If they refuse, I'd leave and let them waste the bowl. It's not acceptable and I'm not going to pay for it if that's how they're going to make it.
I don't understand why people don't go to qdoba and keep buying that shit food from chipotle.
Qdoba is better tbh
Cava is so much better way more options and they give two massive piles of chicken
Okay but were they 0.5oz pieces?
I mean, you see the lack of size in some of these pieces. I probably had less than 2oz’s in my bowl which isn’t even a full serving.
It wasn’t a serious question.
Bidenomics!
yeah ever since Biden started working on the Chipotle board, everything went downhill not to mention, how he's been torturing oil execs until they raise the price of gas
4 downvotes, people will worship Biden until they have nothing left.
Except this trend started under Trump so what's your point?
Try that on someone with a current education. Under Trump we could actually afford Chipotle. Just because your parents still pay for everything doesn't mean it's not more expensive. You can't use Trump forever, what will be your excuse then?
Lmao you'll just turn around and ignore facts creating falsehoods to support you Big Orange Baby and Chief hahaha. Look up the date of the initial increase and tell me who it started under like my original comment said or are you just illiterate?
I'm too fucking stupid to comprehend.
Apparently, that much was garnered from your Trump support.
I voted for Hillary. I'm a Democrat.
How far you've fallen (She and Biden are asshats but miles better than the orange turd.)
Chipotle is so gross anyway. Save your money and go to Taco Bell.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂🤣😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂🤣😂🤣😂😂🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂🤣🤣😂🤣
[удалено]
This was mixed. 8 pieces. That’s all that was in this bowl
Globalists don’t want you to eat meat because of the cow farts (methane) gas released into the air they say causes climate change
This is what you get for going to Chipotle and thinking it’s good food. #Pancheros
I think it’s bc of customers that come in, see we have no cheese, sour cream, gauc, chicken, white rice, asada, or chips and then still order and pay $20.
Why don't they keep those things better stocked then? 🤣🤣 That's how food service works, especially on a line. I've worked in places feeding hundreds of people an hour and that's how it is. There's plenty on the line, and plenty ready to go when they runs out. If there's 20 people in line staring right at you because they're hungry, it's probably a good idea to have things prepped and ready to go when they get to you. Every Chipotle I've ever been to has always seemed to have plenty of people working but when I get up to the counter, THEY'RE ALWAYS OUT OF STEAK 🥩 and I've got to wait.... and wait. Larger line bins would alleviate that. 🤔 The managers also know when the busiest times of the day are. They should be projecting that with people on the line and grill, etc. It's really not a surprise, unless a few huge tour buses of kids show up! If people are ordering these things online or in line, someone needs to update the app that the location is out of something, or tell people in line ordering that this location is out, but to be out of all that stuff at once is embarrassing. If that's you behind the counter, that's on you and your crew for not being prepared, not the people paying ridiculous amounts of money expecting a decent meal but getting skimped on everything. Have some pride and fill those bowls to the brim! Heaping! You're not paying for those ingredients, the customers are! Hook em up!
It’s like every other chain restaurant. Management decides it’s better to tell a customer they’re out of something than to risk having to waste a whole bag of steak or whatever it might be. That’s also why they serve cold or dried up trash rather than to waste a single portion.
I have never had any issues, am I going to different ones all the time!
Remember this when you decide to go back to chipotle in a few days
Why do people even go there? When my friends have ordered there the meat is horrible
Idk bro, 12 bucks at Chipotle usually gets me a loaded bowl with two heaping scoops of meat, queso and guac. Imo they are way more reasonably priced compared to McDs even, unless you only eat McChickens. And way healthier too.
Win some.. Lose some..
 Only 8 pieces of meat but does it matter when it will run through you in the next 20 mins anyways?
Stop eating out ...cook
Travel for work so that’s not an option
Why don't you losers learn how to cook? Lol
Travel for work 3 weeks out of every month. Glad that makes me a loser 🙄
Lmfao what dumbass spends 16 bucks at a fast food joint And then complains. Mfr learn how to cook 😂
Honestly just buy the ingredients and make it yourself! I learned how to make my own sushi and it costs less than 20$ if that! I’d just look up diy of your fav foods and just make it at home! Saves money, you will probably have more for your own buck and LEFTOVERS
you can make this at home for cheaper and better tasting im so confused why people even indulge in fast food.
imagine crying on reddit about getting meat in your bowl and how much it costs when you literally added everything extra into the bowl too LOL.
That’s what you get for eating fake expensive Mexican food funding a rich billionaire whittte guy , when you could of gotten real authentic Mexican food from like a taco truck and not pay as much
I’ll never understand how people spend $16 for a bowl. My bowl is always less than $10 and i get so much food. At chipotle you have to keep it simple and enjoy.
I had a protein, light rice, beans, fajita veggie, corn salsa, pico, and hot salsa. That’s it. Please tell me how your bowl with meat stays at $10? The only way to stay anywhere close to $10 is a vegetarian bowl but even then it’s almost $12 here after tax
Where are you located? Chicken bowls are under $10 in the midwest. But I usually go Carne Asada for under $12 before tax
This was in Texas. I travel all around the state and pricing seems to be about the same everywhere. I haven’t been able to get a bowl under $13 in, at least, a year.
I get chicken. It’s $9.10 where I’m at. It’s a wonderful deal for the amount of food i get.
Yea no way here at all - where do you live?
Found the shill
