    Scandalous experience. Total was $6.10. Gave cashier a $20. Returned $13.00. I said where is the .90 cents. Said there was no change to give me. So I handed her a dime. Said to give me another dollar. She repeatedly refused claiming nonsense that was absurd. Then started shouting that I was bitching over a dollar. MY DOLLAR and SHE was the one bitching. She said she couldn’t open the drawer “just because you want a dollar”. What? This is CRAZY INSANE. I said I was going to call the police, she said go ahead. The manager came out. Someone else who worked there opened the drawer and handed me a dollar. This person is OFF THE RAILS and I am thoroughly disgusted with her and the manager who did nothing. It was another innocent witness employee who straightened it out. Absolutely the WORST retail experience I have ever had.

    Beware. Chipotle appears to be scamming people in online orders and not providing refunds. I made an order at the Monroeville PA store for delivery. It was delivered but was missing an item. I used the app to try to resolve it and it was an AI chatbot confirmed the order but instead of refunding me it gave me a point rewards coupon for a free item instead of a refund. I made this order online because I couldn't make it into the store. This resolution requires you go into the store. I tried calling the store and the guy on the phone said we can't do anything. I made it clear that I paid for an item and it was not given to me so I'd like a refund for that item. He said he can't.

    In other words, they just charged me for nothing and gave me rewards so that I come into the store to make future purchases. This seems so unfair and like some sort of bait to keep customers coming back. This should be illegal. How can you charge someone for something and not give them the item then say, "We can't refund you?"

      I had a very disappointing experience at this Chipotle location on Sunset Road in Henderson. When I arrived, nearly all of the dining tables were dirty and hadn't been cleaned. The serving line was running low on several items, and they were out of tortillas, dressings, and even steak because none had been cooked. The restaurant didn't appear to be well stocked or prepared for customers. On top of that, some of the employees did not appear to be very clean, which raised concerns about the overall cleanliness and food preparation standards. I hope management addresses these issues. Chipotle is usually much better than this, but this visit fell well below expectations.

      I am filing this complaint regarding a recent experience with Chipotle and the company’s failure to provide a fair resolution. I purchased three menu items and was extremely dissatisfied with the order. The portions were significantly smaller than expected, several ingredients were unavailable, and the overall customer service experience was poor. After contacting Chipotle Customer Support, I explained my concerns and requested a full refund. Instead of addressing the issues I described, I was offered a BOGO promotion, which I do not consider an appropriate resolution given the circumstances and the number of items affected.

      I made multiple attempts to have my case reviewed by a supervisor and requested further consideration of a refund. However, my concerns were not meaningfully addressed, and I received generic responses that did not resolve the issue. As a consumer, I paid for products and service that did not meet reasonable expectations, and I do not believe I received the value for which I was charged. I am disappointed not only with the restaurant experience but also with the way my complaint was handled afterward. Because of this experience, I no longer intend to patronize Chipotle and am sharing my experience so other consumers can make informed decisions.

      BE AWARE: If you receive an offer from Chipotle on your Rewards list account stating 50% off an entrée, 815 points, meaning that you can get an entrée for 50% off the required points, don’t believe it. After you activate the offer, receive a QR code, and then go to the restaurant to get your entrée for 815 points only, they will charge you the other half in money, so you will be using your points and your dollars to get it, even when the Terms and Conditions states: Limit one FREE item per customer.

      It happened to me, and I have sent multiple emails to Chipotle asking to refund my money or redeposit 815 points to my account, but the customer service employees keep saying that the “free item per customer” means that the customer needs to pay too for the other half. That is not specified on the Terms and Conditions. It is unbelievable! I can’t believe what Chipotle is doing to its customers, and I can’t believe that the customer service employees answering emails don’t care about the customers. None of the people I sent the emails care about the loyal, long-time, rewards customers.

      And other thing, if two of the entrées were allowed to buy, you will end up using 1,630 points instead of the regular 1,625 points required, and you will be spending a little bit more money, too. It already happened to me. So, there is no real offer. It is a rip-off. It is misleading customers. It is false advertisement. I am extremely disappointed at Chipotle and its customer service employees who are answering emails, who, as I said before, don’t care about customers.

I specifically went to This is the second time I’ve visited this particular location (Chipotle – 4953 Centre Pointe Dr., North Charleston, SC 29418) and found them out of key items. I specifically came in for the al pastor chicken, only to be told it would be another 15 minutes before it was ready. They were also out of grilled vegetables.

      When I expressed my disappointment, the employee responded, “We only have one grill person—you can come back and help if you want something.” That comment was both surprising and unprofessional. I’m curious—does the same owner operate the West Ashley location? That team consistently does things the right way, and this location could definitely take some notes. P.S. To make matters worse, the food was cold again by the time I got home. At this point, I would prefer a refund rather than a “free drink” on a future visit, as I don’t plan on returning to this location—even though it’s the closest to my home.

      A few weeks ago I received an email promotion from Chipotle. The picture in the email (as shown in the attached photo) said 50% off an entree and 815 points beneath. Since you can redeem 1625 points to get a free entree, so I interpreted the promotion as redeeming an entree using roughly only half of the normal points. To my big surprise, they insisted me pay the other half after taking away 815 points from my account at the check-out. Since there were several people behind me I didn't want to make it a scene at that moment. Essentially I paid the full price, half with points and half with money. I emailed the customer service a few days later and was told the promotion meant that way. It's such a deceiving promotion that I got sucked into it.

      I asked the customer service why I even bothered to use the promotion if I ended up paying the regular full price. They simply avoided answering my question. It's so sad Chipotle has become such a deceiving company not to mention raising prices several times in addition cutting the quantity of food. I hope no more people like me got fooled.

      My review is not about the restaurant service but the use of their gift cards. I would advise customers to never purchase a gift card as I discovered they lose their value twice. I say twice because the dollar in general becomes worth less as time goes by and due to inflation. But Chipotle takes it a step further by devaluing your gift card for each year you do not use it. I had a $15 gift card which only had a value of over $11 when I finally used it. It doesn't make sense to me considering chipotle probably raised their prices in the last three years and gave me less value for my gift card as well.

However, I would like to bring to your attention a concerning experience I had on December 22nd at approximately 7 PM at the location at 11513 Regency Village Dr, Orlando, FL 32821 (#**).

When I raised this issue, the server insisted that I had requested the double portion. I then asked to speak with the manager, who directed an employee to open my container for verification. I found it inappropriate for the employee to reach into my container to inspect its contents, as it made me uncomfortable, especially given that the restaurant was full at the time.

      Feeling dissatisfied, I requested a replacement meal because the one I had received was no longer suitable for consumption. Regrettably, instead of addressing my concern, the employees started making fun of me in front of other customers, including **, who identified herself as the store manager.
