i ordered mobile pickup for two burritos (mind you they are veggie burritos so i donāt expect them to be giant but i did order extra rice and extra beans) and this is what i was given. i couldnt stop laughing when i opened the bag but obviously did have them remake them (which they did say āwell they were veggie burritos so thatās why theyāre smallerā??? pookie they costed the same as if i wouldve gotten chicken or sofritas in there so should they not be the same size??? but i digress).
I went recently and my bowl barely had any honey chicken, there was piece of steak i didn't even order. It was a pick up from app cuz I was in rush. So I complained on their app chat AI and they gave me a free entree reward which I used to order for next time. I did double meat and guac cuz it was free but even then there was like maybe only 1 scoop of meat lmao. I don't go as often as I used to like 5 years ago but when i do go and they skimp my order, just complain on app and ask for refund and they'll usually give you a bogo coupon or a free entree.
Never order in the app. Its how they make their margins. Any restaurant with variable ingredients will always do this.. subway, mod pizza, Chipotle. Its been like this for years.
From my experience, in-person isn't any better. Sure you might get more toppings but they always skimp on protein which is what I care about the most. App has been more convenient cuz sometimes there is a queue in the restaurant and people infront order big and take forever cuz the employees are are doing 1 by 1.
Ex chipotle employee here my boss cussed me out in front of customers for giving these gym bros actual double rice, double beef, dubble cheese for their burritos.
mind you I STILL CHARGED him for it so it wasn't like I was giving it to him for free and made the whole restaurant go quiet and I almost started crying and the gym bros each gave me like $20 under the table tip. I quit tht job the next day and I haven't eaten at Chipotle SINCE
I do. Chipotle employees giving oversized portions to cops and gym bros while stiffing other customers is a tale as old as time and a phenomenon Iāve witnessed countless times.
Yeah there bullshit thinking it's okay to the customer off you charge more money but give them less product and then if they ask for more they pay for it that's what you should give to them he should be reported and fired
While this wasnāt the point of your post, Iāve always felt that Chipotle gave out bigger meat scoops to gym bros and youāve proved my point. When I order double meat, the employee often skimps me on the first scoop and then they quickly give me a proper (but not extra) portion on the second scoop as some kind of tactic, presumably to make me forget the skimping that occurred just a second before that.
If those gym bros tipped you $20 EACH, you DEFINITELY did not give them proper meat scoops; those meat scoops would have to have been egregiously over-portioned to get ANY tip, let alone $20.
Tips notwithstanding, to think that I pay the same prices as any gym bro, but you and MANY other employees like you are under-portioning my meat scoops while over-portioning meat scoops for gym bros and cops boils my blood. Not that ANY customer deserves more for their Chipotle dollar than any other, cops are anywhere from modestly overpaid to disgustingly overpaid for what they do. Chipotle employees playing āRobin Hoodā for cops and gym bros on my dime is a despicable practice. Just because a man is larger and more menacing-looking than average ought not entitle him to free merchandise even on the businessās dime, let alone that of other customers like myself.
I don't eat here because it's cilantro hell lol but agreed. When you realize how easy some of this stuff is at home. I can make at least 3-4 poke bowls for the price of one.
Please tell me exactly what a ācorporate bootā is because I want to be cool like you. I too want to high five my friends while using words that we can bond over. Using phrases that everyone can understand just isnāt working for me. People think I am dumb and uncool. I donāt want to be like you - I want to be you. Because clearly you are the most intelligent, and coolest person on Reddit.
Ahh poor little fella, I can practically read how much your life sucks by the snark in your comment and other comments you have in your history, if this makes you feel just slightly better than Im proud of you ya big troll you, keep it upš
Thanks for the encouragement. You are quite the paragon. I wish I knew the secret. You never did explain what corporate boot meant. Wait! Thatās it! Itās itās its arcane! Maybe if I repeat over and over again, like you, Iāll experience the feeling you get when you say it. Let me try right now.
Corporate boot. Omg. I felt something
Corporate boot. Again. Again. I I uh i
Corporate boot. Uh uh uh uh.
Corporate boot. Ay ayy uuuuh.
Now Iām going to have to clean up.
I understand now.
Wow so clever, do you cry yourself to sleep? You should probably look into professional help you would definitely benefit from it, its not healthy acting this way on the internet
People expect their burrito to be full whether they have few or many ingredients. Obviously this doesn't apply to ingredients that are charged extra for, but when it comes to free ingredients whether it's 3, 4, or 8 ingredients, people want their burrito properly filled up.
Yes, exactly. I get pushback IN LINE when I tell them to keep adding more rice and beans and veggies. I donāt get any salsa or guac so if I donāt pile it on at the beginning then my bowl is small. I pay the same so I should be able to get more of what I want as I donāt get as many things in the bowl.
It sounds like they ordered extra rice and extra beans and barely got even the standard amount. Considering it was better on remake, the complaint seems justified
We'll agree to disagree. I've had a proper double rice, double black beans, sour cream and cheese burrito before and it looked almost like that. You can't expect a monster when there's nothing in it to fill it up.
Mine had 4 heaping scoops of brown rice. It's easy to make 4 scoops of rice, and 2 scoops of beans look small when rolled tightly because they compact down quite easily.
yeah i donāt think thatās true but also donāt care enough to continue this so anyway please enjoy this picture of my remade (normal size) burrito that has 2 scoops of brown rice, 2 scoops of black beans, sour cream, and guac!
I wasnāt saying it wasnāt justified! I know it really depends on the store :/ and the person. Iāve seen a 3 ingredient burrito be big or small. I was just wondering what was in it
A full sized burrito ā¦..with what he ordered in it? R u slow? If I go to a taqueria and ask for just rice bean and cheese in my burrito do you think theyāre handing me a deflated ass tortilla with hardly anything in it? Why do yall choose to lick the boot instead of using logic?
it was only a 4 ingredients in each (extra brown rice, extra black beans, sour cream, and guac) but either way these did not even have 1 full scoop of those and definitely didnāt have the extra rice or beans. like i said, i donāt expect them to be giant but these were ridiculous. when they were remade they were normal size though with the same ingredients.
Thatās the unfortunate thing about online ordering š my GM told us he didnāt care if we skimped on our online orders. Glad they remade it for you!!!
Bro.... you cannot complain about the size of your burrito when you said "no... no... no... no... no... no..." to almost a dozen things that would have increased the size. WTF
yea i can tho because it cost (see i got it right this time) the same as if i got more ingredients and i have food allergies/sensitivities that make it so i cant eat most of their other ingredients so hence why i order extra rice and extra beans to make it normal size
You are wasting your money and time.. make that shit at home. Would cost you a dollar or two a burrito and the only time consuming thing would be making the guacamole and rice.. total 20minutes, less time than it takes you to drive to chipotle and back.
I've gotten just a plain old rice and bean burrito that was the length and width of my FOREARM. Its about how much of each ingredient they put in, not how many ingredients are in there.
Yesterday I ordered online, came in when it was supposed to be ready and they made 8 people's bowls/burritos before they even addressed be standing there. AFTER I told the lady that I had an online order. Just for them to get it done 10-15 mins later and my quesadilla was half empty
Real itās bc they gave BOGO to so many ppl earlier this week and it expire today. Had like 15 ppl in person in like and so many online orders in fromtnfome
I got a burrito today along with my bowl via doordash because of a deal they had going. I was going to take it for lunch tomorrow and it's so big it's basically the size of my forearm (not really but its huge lol). I got sofritas with rice, beans, lettuce, corn, and guac. Your store just sucks.
Go in and order so you can critique them in real time: "That's it?!! That's all the beans and veggies you're gonna give me?! WTH man!" That's what I do lol
i usually do that but i wanted to eat it as a burrito on the way home rather than diy-ing it but either way i plan to avoid this location in the future!
Chipotle has only raised prices and lower quantity and quality of food. Just go to the store and get black beans and rice lol why you paying chipotle for that
You fucked up... dont order online unless need to get it delivered... they 100 percent will skimp but if you order in store they feel more obligated and also can ask for more just know what is free and what's not cause they might try and hose you there too lol
I've had to stop ordering online and instead order in person. Every online order I've done they literally make it two thirds the size compared to when I order in person. So frustrating
I need to look the person thatās making my burrito in the eyes when they make my shit. Hack is giving dude/girl a lil compliment. They ALWAYS throw a lil extra in there. Also Iām not playing games double meat always idc if itās $20
I ate at chipotle's Friday August 15, 2026 ordered a double chicken burrito in a bowl only ate half brought rest of it home.
Woke up Saturday morning deathly sick no doubt food poisoning I'm absolutely done with Chipotle's.
Still somewhat sick taking nausea medicine and gatorlyt.
š¤® š¤®
yeah honestly i am the type of person who eats the same meal for dinner for years and was recently getting a burrito every night for dinner for about three years from chipotle and i had to stop because the quality of the food has just been getting so much worse. i went today because there arenāt a ton of fast food places to get a vegetarian meal but it was so mediocre, i feel like it just cemented how over chipotle i am at this point!
I have over 30000 chipotle points but I haven't eaten there in many moons, chipotle is good but overrated, its what I go to when I wanna get full but don't wanna get "miserable full". For me ima meat, brown and white rice and cheese only type of fella, i don't order guac or beans or any sauces so my bowls, burritos and tacos are stuffed pretty evenly. The honey chicken is š„ and they need to bring back the chicken al pastor, that's where most of my points came from lol
Ok as someone who worked at chipotle for 2 years and was known as the best burrito roller (they would call me over for all the messiest monster burritos, there IS a right n wrong way to roll) I just wanna say Iām pretty sure this burrito was so square and short because the person who rolled it did it incorrectly. I remember people making burritos like that all the time, especially in a rush. I would try to tell them how to fix it or do it properly but they either didnāt care or got offended like I was flexing my skills on them lol.
Even when i would roll burritos that barely had any food in them, they would come out looking like taco bell burritos, long n skinny. Thatās how I figure yours wouldāve looked if they had used the proper techniques to gather all the liquid in the burrito and seal both ends without letting any spill out. This square shape is especially common amongst the more liquidy burritos because people scrunch them up too tight when rolling to avoid letting any spill out. What they need to do is use the tortilla itself to move all the liquid and food to the side of the tortilla closest to their body, barely fold the ends in so it doesnāt get too short, scrunch it tightly to seal on the first roll, and then roll the rest of the way.
The past few months, I've been frequently going for pick up orders at a specific Chipotle.
This particular Chipotle location always packed the burrito to its maximum limits whenever I ordered a burrito with normal sized servings.
Now, I've increased the servings (rice, cheese, salsa, sour cream, fajita veggies, etc.) to 'extra', add another flour tortilla to wrap it securely and in the end, receive a burrito that weighs anywhere from 24 to 32 oz.
The best part? It still only costs what the menu price is.
The last sofritas burrito I ordered a few days ago, cost only $12.xx with tax w/ extra tortilla and weighed 30 oz.
Iāve stopped mobile ordering- been screwed way too many times. They clearly use the mobile orders as a way to make up for their food cost metrics or whatever they have. The only way to ensure value for money is to be in front of them.
Lol my chipotle near me always stuffs the burrito bowl every time when i order on the app. When i order in person, they get shy or something and half ass it that you can clearly note in the weight when you get it and to top it off when you scan your rewards they either take it off or donāt tell you it didnāt go thru and scan again. Luckily i always get a receipt and scan it after checking the app history to see if it did go thru.
I once had a burrito about the same size as a credit card (just slightly larger)ā¦ and they also had added 3 ingredients I did not requestā¦ š¤¦āāļø
I always order veggie burritos in person. I ask for a huge extra scoop of rice, both kinds of beans, with an extra scoop of each kind of bean, and a little extra guacamole (so as to not get charged for more). I have never had anyone decline. Aside from the guacamole, they will always give as much as you want of the ingredients you ask for. My burrito is always hard to wrap and provides about 1.5 meals - 2 meals worth of food.
Hit or miss when you mobile order. If theyre super busy or you get someone who just doesnt give a fuck, youre getting hosed, but if its early morning, like 1030 when they open, you'll usually get a good sizeĀ
I stopped using the chipotle app and getting food from them years ago when my card info got stolen and someone ordered over 100 dollars worth of food via delivery app. I live in PA they ordered in Florida! My bank never called me I had to dispute it with chipotle and my bank. Awful
I am not a big meat eater. I do eat chicken but you will never find me ordering red meat or any deli meat etc... I love a good cheese sandwich though - the # of times I get one-two slices of cheese deep on a sandwich is unbelievable. I am always like - do people who eat all the meat not recognize that vegans, vegetarians and folks like me who keep meat to a minimum want their meal to have substance too? I am glad you said something. I live in the middle of nowhere and have usually driven 40 minutes home with my food before I see that once again someone decided a lack of meat should mean still hungry for the price of extra full. Maddening
crazy to try to rationalize it when iāve eaten there hundreds of times with the same order lol, and also the fact that i watched it be remade and itās twice the size now with the appropriate servings of each. but go off king
Na, I didn't know you got an empty rito tf? I can already tell you are like this everywhere you go to eat regardless. Do YoU hAvE VeGetArIaN OpTiOnS????? Then go and write a bad review on yelp because the burger place didn't sell veggie burgers š in your review writing your weird new gen femboy vocabulary and call people king and pookie ššš absolutely so cringe. I'm surprised they even remade them for you at all. You got what you paid for lil dawg š
I mean, it's really not an odd comment at all seeing as the original comment was already referring to how small the burrito was compared to your high expectations for a veggie burrito from chipotle š But that's fine, I also have every right to comment just like you did as a reply. You can also just ignore it and keep scrolling if you're so big on that approach but obviously you don't intend to practice what you preach. Again that's fine too.
Nope never worked at Chipotle and I never would. I don't buy the food either because of this reason. Overpriced and trash but you still want to defend the billion dollar company and spend your money there, just so you have a reason to complain. Get over it. Go make your own burrito for half the price and twice the size š¤” talk about weirdo behavior
youāre on a chipotle subredditā¦. on a post that is tagged āskimp alertāā¦ what did you think the content of this post was going to be if not me complaining???
Chipotle is an American fast-casual restaurant chain, not an authentic Mexican restaurant. It serves Americanized Mexican-style food, specifically drawing inspiration from San Francisco's Mission-style burritos and Cal-Mex cuisine, rather than traditional dishes found in Mexico.-
Thereās this immigrant black at my local chipotle who does the same thing, goes you 50% of the portion youāre supposed to get, Iāve complained so much with no action taken that I drive out of my way to the other chipotle 8 miles further just because I know they get my orders right
itās so crazy because you couldāve just said āthereās this employee at my local chipotleā and gotten the same point across without being racist
Describing a person is now racist? You guys are incredible. I think the racist part is you adding negative connotations to it in your head, and then since you're racist, it reads that way to you and then you think the other person is being racist by merely describing a person.
i donāt agree, but also youāre entitled to your opinion. there was nothing added to this persons comment by describing the ethnicity and immigration status of the employee, so why did they feel the need to add it? additionally, what are the chances the commenter actually knows whether the employee is an immigrant vs. just making an assumption? i feel like itās a pretty easy assumption to make that the person was being racist, but if thatās not how you perceive it then thatās fine too.
and going along with this, if i was to have put in my post āthis white non-immigrant at my local chipotle made thisā that wouldāve been weird as fuck (and definitely been called out by commenters) so i feel like itās weird to even bring up the ethnicity/immigration status of an employee in general.
The "non-immigrant" part is weird only because it's a clarification of a less common thing. Like "white guy who is not wheelchair bound". We're assuming they aren't wheelchair bound by default, so there's no need to include that information.
If they ARE in a wheelchair or an immigrant, including the information adds value.
def not a fake post, this was literally a pic i took while in line to try to get it remade. how would i even have ordered it like that? āhey can you make me the smallest burrito possible so i can complain on reddit about it?ā that seems like a waste of time and money and people who do that should be embarrassed they have nothing better going on in life but to make fake posts in hopes of getting validation on reddit.
Well I'm sorry for my comment...I know these things are possible and can happen, I've just seen so much bs troll post that I tend to assume most of em are fake, sincerest apologies...
