    I usually order online Chipotle and go pick up, when it comes to Chipotle, because I hate the customer service in the restaurant. Since, its online service was not working, I had to go to the restaurant to order food. It was the one in Washington Street, Boston. I agree, it's really busy during lunch times. But, still I expect customers to be treated with respect, at least the customers that are not treating employees with any disrespect. I order for 2 burrito bowls. One for me and the other for my friend. The employees were feeling as if I am wasting their time, by ordering 2 bowls. They keep forgetting that I am paying for 2 as well.

    I fill an application for employment, went two interviews, hired on the spot, did all the paperwork, got a email saying welcome to the team, gave me my starting schedule then get a email saying sorry for the inconvenience but you can't work for us. Why would you put someone through that much if you was not going to give him the job? Why wouldn't you not even make a person fill out everything to tell him no you can't have a job after we gave you one.

    I frequently attend the Chipotle in the DMV areas and I have stated to the workers/managers on plenty of occasions as to why am I being charged extra for something that I'm already paying for which it isn't stated or even printed anywhere on the menu or board posting in the stores. They continuously give small scoops of meat in the bowls/burritos to rip people off. Something has to be done about this because I've witnessed so many arguments occur behind this... When you're paying your money you should be pleased with what you purchase and satisfied instead of having to encounter unnecessary conflict because Chipotle workers are ripping their customers off and they're charging nearly $7 for their burritos and bowls. I'm honestly considering not spending another dime in any Chipotle stores because of this and plus the workers in most of them are rude as heck.

    I was employed by Chipotle for two years. I loved going to work every day. The guests are the best and everything about the food is awesome. Everyday talking about culture and recipes and what our goals were was very exciting. There were some issues, outside of work drama and results for the store's business was affected. As upper management, the current Supervisors were very demanding and didn't give much thought to us not being able to make people do what was expected. Chipotle hires people that have 13 Characteristics that can't be taught. What an awesome process.

    During my time there, many people lasted, some didn't. Some like myself let go because we didn't fit into the outside activities that employees did. Holding everyone accountable and challenging the Team to be better is a requirement. I found that when it came to sexual Harassment and bringing up these issues was a red flag and I was let go. I asked several times to speak with others about the issues and some of the things that were affecting the rest of our staff. The threats to my career if certain people weren't fired were Stressful so much that I suffered a stroke last October 2013. When on medical leave, I was not notified about a Christmas party or invited to attend.

    I'm very disappointed with a company that claims Food with Integrity and everything we are taught, yet treatment of staff and management is not with the same integrity. I know that there are people that do what they choose and some think differently, but what represents a company worth $8 Billion should care about those of us bothered by practices of those that represent the company that we believe in and desire to work for. In a nutshell, I'm very upset at the way I was treated not helped and then let go when practices of certain upper management that were inappropriate were turned away from For money instead of integrity.

    As a former employee of Chipotle I thought I'd share some of my experiences with this particular corporation. Let me start off by saying I was NOT fired from this establishment. I only worked there part time while I attended college. Once I graduated I left to work in my field of study. The Chipotle I was employed with was in Canton, Ohio. At first I loved the job. Chipotle was one of my favorite places to eat, so naturally I was ecstatic to work there. However during my slight over a year employment I noticed a few horrible things.

    First off, I'd like to touch base on what Chipotle's idea of "clean" was. A few spots in the restaurant housed sanitizer buckets that were supposed to be changed every half hour. Chipotle provided us with a timer that would beep very loudly, reminding us it was time for them to be changed. I was once working on the line, preparing food for customers when the alarm went off. I told the other two people making the food with me that I was going to step off for a second and change our sanitizer bucket and wipe down the food prep line. As I started to clean up with fresh sanitizer water and a clean towel I was reprimanded by my manager in front of customers. She asked "Why I thought I had the right to clean the line." I was taught to have integrity, to step up at my job and take action when I saw something that needed to be done. Apparently cleaning wasn't part of that. My managers began to become very sketchy to me. During the year I was employed I had 15 different managers. Only 2 of which remain with the company today.

    One morning during an opening shift I was putting away sour cream I had just portioned and labeling it according to code. While putting it away I noticed a few left from the previous afternoon. It was expired according to our standards so I grabbed it and went to dispose of it. My Apprentice (second highest manager in the store) approached me asking me what I was doing. So I pointed out the dates of the sour cream I was throwing away. She then pulled out a marker from her pocket and scratched out the expired date on the one I hadn't thrown away yet. Before I could say anything she walked away with it and stuck it back in the cooler. Food with integrity?

    Another manager asked me to clean up around the fax line (where we made the on line orders). Of course I did as I was told. When cleaning behind a fridge I noticed a bit of mold on the wall. I pointed it out to my GM. She took note of it and then I scrubbed the wall until it was gone. The next day she fired the girl who had worked the fax line that day.

    In another instance I was carrying dishes to the dish room. A guy who was newer to Chipotle was doing dishes, he maybe worked there three weeks. We were VERY busy. He had a ton of dishes. He was going as fast as he could. Once 4 rolled around and his shift was over he was fired for not doing the dishes fast enough.

    I enjoyed working on the cash register, but it had many cons. You were not permitted to use the restroom in the 7.5 hours you had to stand there for your shift. The only time you were allowed to do so was when you got your half hour lunch break that you had to eat on also. One of my fellow employees had to go so bad one day and all the managers were "doing a trash run," aka, smoking out back. She went very quickly and returned to ring out customers that had only been waiting a few minutes. She was fired at the end of her shift.

    One Thursday morning I was on the opening shift. Which means my hours were from 8 to 4. We were a bit understaffed that day so I stayed until 5:30. My general manager approached me and asked me to stay a little longer, which I had no problem with since I didn't have plans that day. She then asked me to clock out, when I asked her why she replied, "we are over on our hours for the week. You'll have to work off the clock." She was asking me to work off the clock, without being paid... So illegal, yet after seeing what other people were fired for, and I needed the job I went along with it.

    I also noticed on here a few comments about people feeling sick after eating Chipotle. Let me clear that up. Three times in the year I worked there the restaurant was Quarantined. Meaning none of us were allowed to work at other stores, and every day we showed up to work we had to take a health test. The test was a series of 6 questions. If you answered yes to even one of the questions you were forced to go home and have 7 days off without pay. The questions were asking about symptoms that may have been associated with an illness Chipotle kept having wind up in the restaurant. So if an employee answered yes to one symptom we were sent home, yet the restaurant was still open? Serving food to customers that had no knowledge of the quarantine? We were told if we discussed the terms of the quarantine we would be fired on the spot.

    One of my fellow employees was later hospitalized for whatever this illness was. They had to remove parts of her intestines due to some sort of bacteria they found. The managers refused to disclose any more information to us than that. Shortly after another one of my fellow employees was missing from work. We were told she tested positive for salmonella and the health department required her to stay at home and not return to work until she tested negative. She was gone for over a month. Still the restaurant remained open...

    So many things about that place were just off to me. People around me were fired for nonsense reasons. Like putting something in the wrong spot, or stepping away from the food prep line to wash their hands. Customers kept in the dark about a food borne illness that was infecting the employees. Yet their motto is that they have so much integrity their heads would explode? It's a double standard.

    I pray this post allows other former employees to step up and discuss these issues. I know for a fact it's not just this one restaurant. I volunteered to work at others in the area to get a few more hours when they were understaffed. These issues are real.

    There is a constant line which isn't a bad thing Solon,Ohio but lack of people on the food prep line always. Lazy move like they have weight on their feet. Never see the same employees, must have a drastic turnover. It could early, midday, 8:00 pm - the same way. My family quit trying. It's a shame. They could stand 2 prep tables. Someone wasn't thinking when they built that store. Lost this customer.

    I visited Chipotle today for lunch. As the girl was taking my order I noticed she was kinda rushing me to tell her what I wanted. So she started talking over me all loud and I corrected her on what I wanted in my bowl. She then rolled her eyes and shoved it to the next girl. I then asked her for a salad dressing and she slid it down the line just about knocking it over. So I asked for a manager and said, "Idk who the ** she think she is giving me attitude when all I did was correct her." So the manager threw my food away and said, "Have a nice day!" I then asked to speak to whoever was in charge. Then some other guy came to the counter and said, "Well, you can't curse in here." I said, "Does that mean your employees have the right to be rude to the customers?", and all he said was, "I'm sure she didn't mean to be rude." Anyhow he then made my food again and I paid nothing. I'm still never going back there again!!

    We stopped in for burritos yesterday at the Streetsboro location at 9754 State Route 14. When we got home and sat down to eat, we noticed that the rice wasn't even cooked (crunchy rice). My husband had white rice, and I had the brown rice. My food had big pieces of fat from the meat in my food. There was very little meat in our burritos, just tons of fat. I didn't think it could get any worse, but it did. I found a hair in my food. I put the rest in the trash. Thanks, Chipotle.

    Very unhappy with the quality here. When this store first opened, I gave it a try. "Dry" best described the steak burrito w/rice, cheese, avocado, and salsa. I thought, well maybe they’re working out the kinks, and left it at that. Didn't really have the desire to ever go back. I know my burritos. Yesterday, my wife was promised a carne asada burrito from a restaurant I pass by in my home town of Montebello from time to time. I forgot! I told her I'd go down the hill to Chipotle and bring her back something of like kind. I should have went to Pedros Tacos on El Camino Real instead - half the price, juicy, loaded and I'll tell you why.

    Chipotle’s steak burrito was served up with very little steak, a little sprinkle of cheese, pico de gallo, and a $1.50 dollop of guacamole served up less than room temperature. I live less than 3 minutes from this store, and when my wife opened the bag and unwrapped it, she said "It's cold," and I verified it. Do you know how microwaved guacamole tastes?

    I gave this store a second chance, and they absolutely blew it! By the way, just looking at the receipt right now for $8.80, and it says "Chicken Burrito". I ordered steak, but I guess that all their meat tastes the same. You know, there’s a new "Smash Burger" that opened last week right next door, and I'm told that some of the Chipotle employees are eating lunch there. What does that tell you? 2 strikes and you're...Out! This place is a total joke. Mexican? I don't think so. I'm white and will blow your burritos out of the water in my kitchen, or should I say...Cocina! Chipotle translated into English means "Crap Wrapped Cow Stack". Save your money, and go somewhere else

    I visited Chipotle on Clarkson Road Chesterfield, MO 63017 approximately 11:30 a.m. on August 22, 2013 on my way to work - I start at 12:00 p.m./noon and work nearby. I requested a steak salad. As has been my experience on a few other occasions, I noticed the person preparing my food was picking up traces of food (cheese & lettuce) to put back into the metal containers of ingredients, which really was a turn off. Also, right as my order was being completed, this same worker picked up food droppings and put it into my salad, a complete turn off. Also, I have seen them do this with the meats. I told the worker, "Please don't pick up food from the counter and put it in my food..." She said, "Okay." I didn't have time to wait for her to make a whole salad for me again - it was time to make it to work. My bill was $11.82 ~ I don't normally spend that much for lunch but I decided I wanted a great salad yesterday. I was so hungry and desired the freshness of the ingredients I get from Chipotle.

    This is not the first instance this has happened to me. It has happened at the location on Manchester & Clarkson Road in Ellisville, Missouri too. I decided "not" to contact the manager of the store today because I have done that before and new training was supposed to be in place for it not to happen again. Also the manager was serving as well when the worker was picking up cheese from the counter dropping it back into the container of food; not sure how long it had been laying there.

    Also, I am offered a free order of food, which is great, but by "not" calling this time and making my review public, I hope they "really" do implement training for the workers not to do this as previously promised to me; to just get rid of the old food droppings on the counter and not put it back into the container as my worker did to me. I'm disappointed because this has been going on for a few years now and just when I think they won't do it anymore - it happens again. This is one of my very favorite restaurants and for the most part their food has integrity - please train your workers - company-wide so this stops happening. I hate this practice with a passion.

    I feel like I have received the worst experience ever at the Chipotle in Matteson. When I arrived, I wasn't greeted. They were joking around and having a good time, and even though they saw me, I was ignored. Then a young lady noticed, still did NOT say hello, did not positively acknowledge me in any way, but said, "One minute". I was instantly displeased at her treatment. So, I waited patiently. After a minute had passed, and no one had even looked in my direction, I said, "Never mind," and walked to the door. On a second thought, I turned and asked to speak to a manager. As the assistant manager came out, the girl who was supposed to be making my order claimed that she greeted me. She did not. She attempted to make me look like a liar. It was embarrassing and stressful.

    I asked for a number to call for corporate and the assistant manager coldly told me to go on the website and send an email. She was extremely dismissive and rude. She honestly did not seem to care that her employees were not properly doing their jobs. I have never been treated like this in ANY establishment, especially not a Chipotle. I went to Taco Bell instead, and while the food is not as good, the service was excellent.

    I am a business owner, with a new location right across the way from Chipotle. I am also vegan and was looking for a regular restaurant that could cater to my needs. I was disappointed and totally unsatisfied with the treatment I received. I will not visit this location again, but I would like an explanation for their unprofessional actions. I will NOT recommend this Chipotle to my employees or other vegan friends.

I asked to speak to the manager and she told me it was her and that if I liked my bowl like that or otherwise I can leave. So she didn't solve my problem; instead she told me to leave the restaurant. Now the customer is not first. She knows me and she doesn't like me but when you're running a business, you can't treat customers like that because we are the ones that pay your paycheck.

    I wanted an interview with the manager for school. The manager said yes, and we made the appointment on Saturday. I went there on Saturday, but he was not there. Very irresponsible. So, the assistant manager said I could interview him so we made the appointment on that day at 4:30pm and the assistant manager said that he wouldn’t be busy at that time. I went at that time, but the assistant manager said he was busy and told me to go home or make another appointment. I got bailed 2 times. If they are managers, aren’t they supposed to keep time/promises? Ok, I understand that they are busy, and I’m not mad at the fact that I couldn’t get an interview. But I am mad at the fact of how the assistant manager treated me. He said, "I have time for job interviews, but I don’t have time to be interviewed by you." What the **? You do job interviews to hire workers and give service to the customers. Although I was a student, I was also his customer at least when I’m in the restaurant.

    Managers in Chipotle are rude and irresponsible. They ignore students because they are just students. You know what? When I’m in your restaurant, I’m your customer and customers come first, and they should be respected. The higher position you are in, you have to be more humble and know how to treat others with respect. I can’t believe someone like that is the assistant manager. Chipotle was my favorite restaurant.

    I have been a long time patron of Chipotle. They built one about a block from where I live and I usually visit at least once a week. Yesterday, I made a decision to never eat there again. The portions were just ridiculously small. I was having a decent experience until we got to the cheese and the lady sprinkled a tiny bit of cheese on the burrito. I requested more and she said it's $1 extra. Excuse me. You have got to be kidding! She said, "You get only 2 ounces of cheese." I said, "Ma'am, that is not 2 ounces." It wasn't even a spoonful and I am not exaggerating. She then gets tired of talking to me and shoves my bowl away so I quickly asked to speak with a manager. The manager comes out and says as a courtesy she will give me more, so she sprinkles a tiny bit more on the burrito bowl. At this point, I am furious at the customer service and minute portions.

The lady on the opposite side who put on the salsa fixed the tacos. I was very frustrated with the service. I didn't notice how soggy my tacos were until I got to eat it.

Yet the servers (especially the female servers) are usually on a mission to rush through the orders. First, it happened a couple of times, which I ignored. But then I saw a pattern (especially when the place is not crowded). You go to the front and order, say Chicken Burrito Bowl. Immediately they ask what type of rice and beans. By the time you reach the beans (1-2 ft), your bowl is filled (if you are lucky) with rice, beans, chicken; and they are ready with the salsa type. The salsa platter is at the end prior to the cheese/lettuce area. If you say "hot" salsa, you might be mistaken for "corn" (because it happened to me 3 times).

    The server doesn't even make the slightest attempt to apologize. Usually I don't move from the rice station. I ask the server to add more rice, which she grudgingly does, and then ask for little bit of vegetables. Why do you have to ask so often for a product that you proudly display as "make your own bowl" (if you let me)? Now I have decided to quit Chipotle and head to Moe's nearby.

    I am very disappointed with this Burrito Bowl that I just ordered. I paid almost $8.00 for this meal and got almost no rice or chicken. I ordered my food to-go and once I got to my office, the rice was not cooked right. It was very crunchy and the chicken was very soggy and pink in the center. It was the worst lunch I've ever had. I will never eat from here again. Now I am here sitting in my office starving and feeling very upset because of this overpriced meal that was not worth a penny. I only get a half hour lunch so I can't go back and complain, and it's raining and cold out. I do not recommend this place to anyone.

    Chipotle is my favorite place to eat, but last Friday night was so different. The chicken on my burrito bowl was way under cooked. The lady in line behind me made a comment about beef being very rare; in fact it was so rare it looked like barbeque. I never paid much attention to the chicken, like I say because I love it. I always get chicken and all the same ingredients. I eat there at least once a week, as well as my whole family. After I got it home and started eating, I realized the chicken was partly raw, turned my stomach. I picked out the chicken, fed it to my dog. I tried to eat the rest, but I just could not do it. I don't think the rice was flavored. I love that lime and cilantro. I was so disappointed. I hope this was just an off night, but thought I would voice my opinion.

    I just wrote a message on the Chipotle website because I was incredulous at what happened during my first visit to one of their restaurants. Afterwards, I googled "Chipotle complaints" wondering just how widespread are the issues and dissatisfaction. Maybe I'm more attuned to the Maryland-based postings on this board, but there are many and the Office of Consumer Affairs in Maryland should start recognizing a pattern. My complaint was with the College Park, MD Chipotle, closest to IKEA. This is what I wrote to Chipotle's customer support:

    "We ordered a bowl and a burrito. Despite telling the server more, everything regarding the bowl was measured out in 1/4 - 1/2 slotted spoonfuls, including the chicken. The end result was we got a miserable, partially full bowl. My daughter knew I was getting angry and told me to drop it. It was clear the servers were rationing. The two items cost me $17. Neither were for me, but if what I witnessed was business as usual, then trust it will be my first and last visit to a Chipotle. Your restaurant cheated us. Pathetic."

    My father, younger sister, and I visited a Chipotle branch near our town and ordered burrito bowls. When my father told the lady helping us that he didn't want corn, she started to add toppings including corn. He told her that he had said he didn't want any, but that it doesn't matter. She started arguing saying that he did. My dad then said again, "It doesn't matter." She started giving us an attitude and said, "I'll make you another one." The general manager intervened and made sure my dad's order was made correctly. Then, the general manager, the female employee, and a few others working there started to look at us, laugh, and talk amongst themselves. We felt so mistreated; so my dad asked for a card.

    After we were done with our meal, I went up to the female employee and her friend and said what they did wasn't right and that no employee should ever laugh at a customer. A male employee at the register said to the girl, "Ignore her." As I was walking away, he yelled, "Thank you for dropping by Chipotle." The last word I heard was "chicken". I don't know if that last piece was directed at me or who said it. Regardless, our experience at Chipotle was horrible.

    Yesterday, Saturday, May 19, 2012, my son, daughter-in-law and I stopped for a take out order. We were on our way home from volunteering the Koman Race for the Cure in downtown Columbus. We had been there since 6:30 am and were very hungry. At about 11:30 am, we entered the store and there was a line into the dinning area. Several people came in and left because of the line. It was very warm/hot in the store. It appeared that no air-conditioning was on or working. Everyone in line was committing on the long line and the heat in the store. A customer came back because his order was not made to his satisfaction. The staff started to remake his order which was okay.

    We waited in line for approximately 35 minutes or more before getting to place an order. During the wait, one of the staff went out the side door for about 5 minutes and then came back without replacing his gloves. He started making orders again. When we got to place our order, a gentleman next to us fainted. The customers in line went to his aid. Not one of your staff made an effort to help until customers started to say something. The young man did stop and tell the manager, who was outside. She did come over to the customer to look at the situation. By this time, the man behind me called 911. It was crystal clear that the staff had no idea what to do. It was apparent to all the customers that they had not been trained on what to do in case of an emergency.

    The young man completing orders said that had happened several days ago and had been very hot in the store also. At that time, I said to him, "You did not change your gloves after being outside." He asked me if I wanted him to remake my order. I said no, that he should have changed them before now. He did change his gloves at that time and the word spread that the "head manager" was coming in. He ran to get an apron, which he did not have on. Isn't that something that all employees should be wearing at all times? We got our order and left. The ambulance had not arrived when we were leaving. It does not take an experienced restaurant person to see that there was definitely a problem with this site. They were not trained properly in several areas - emergency and proper handling of food.

    The entire situation was not handled well by your staff. I eat at one of your restaurants in Dublin, Ohio, at least once a week. However, I will not be doing that again. This restaurant is close to my home. Going forward, this site will definitely be off my list. I would love to get in there and clean up the place. It appears that no one seems to take pride in working and doing a good job. Shame on the young people of our country. I just came back from Ireland, Scotland and the U.K. I did not see a restaurant that I ate at as disturbing as this one. I can't believe that there aren't people out there that would be glad to have this job and do an excellent job. This is the first time I have ever written a restaurant about the bad food or service and it won't be the last time either.

    I am tired of spending my hard-earned money for bad service and food. By the way, the girl at the register was not a happy person and it showed. There were comments made about her from people waiting in line. This was a very upsetting situation. It is going to be very interesting to see if I get a response from this email. I am betting not! Again, this will be the last time that I will enter your restaurant which I am sure does not matter to you or your company. Maybe your CEO needs to go undercover to see what really happens in your stores.

Making matters worse is they never changed their gloves for clean gloves before handling food. The counter where they produce the food items for the customer had all sorts of food items spilled on it, making these ruminates find their way in your food. If I want brown rice, corn or hot sauce, I will order it! Then the food server that was preparing my order asked what sort of toppings I would like on my burrito. I said mild salsa and cheese. He appeared to be in a hurry and not listening, put a spoonful of sour cream. I tried to stop him, but to no avail. Making matters worse, he started scooping the sour cream off.

I stood patiently in line at Chipotle sometime in January 2012 located on Carrier Parkway in Grand Prairie, TX to only be served seven small squares of fatty steak bits which ended up costing me $9. First off, once I got to the front of the line, I was rushed through the entire process. Once I said steak bowl, the Chipotle employee quickly assumed I wanted rice. I didn't want rice. So she threw away a perfectly good bowl and started over.

    At the end of it all, I got a steak bowl with black beans, pico de gallo, guacamole, and cheese (no drink, no chips). And as I said before, it has seven small squares of fatty steak pieces. All for the price of $9. If I asked for more steak, I was told I would be charged for it, rounding my total up to 10 bucks. This does not seem right! Plus I didn't get the rice, extra veggies, or sour cream. Why not subtract those items from the price, Chipotle?! I was displeased, and I have never returned back to any Chipotle.

    On Saturday, March 3rd, I went to the Chipotle in Berwyn with my family for dinner. I was beginning to get frustrated that the staff was not prepared or not properly trained to handle the amount of people coming in to eat. I waited in line 30 minutes to order only to find out that they ran out of white rice, steak and chicken. I was told I would have to wait another 20 minutes for the meat to be cooked. At this time, my family had already placed their carry out order and had to wait for mine so I cancelled my order and paid for what my family ordered but with great disappointment and frustration. I must say I was shocked at the lack of service especially since Chipotle is one of my family's favorite restaurants. We are frequent customers to the Oak Park site since they have opened and have always been satisfied there as well as at all the other Chipotle sites we have been to.

    What made the night worse was when we got home, my wife noticed her burrito bowl was not the one she had ordered. She was given the order of the customer that was behind us. To be honest, I even offered my services in the kitchen because I saw how ill prepared the staff was that night. Just by my observations, I knew they were going to run out of food again considering when I was ordering my food, the line was all the way to the door again. I am not sure what was cooking in the kitchen but the grill that was in front only had about eight steaks cooking when there probably should have been double or triple the amount since there was a very long line of people waiting to order. I hope there is an improvement in service to this location because it is actually closer to my home that's the Oak Park site.

    I have a serious complaint with the service I received at Chipotle yesterday evening. After faxing a large order the previous night, I arrived at 16:00 to confirm that they had received my order accurately. Upon confirmation, I spoke to the manager who stated that if my order was going to be eaten at 19:30, we should pick up our food at 19:00. I arrived at 18:45 and stated that I was there to pickup a 75-burrito order. The cashier acknowledged me, told the back room and proceeded to work the register.

    Ten minutes had gone by and there was no delivery of the food. At this point, I considered it late and inquired. The manager stated "five burritos left" in which, naturally, I believed. Five minutes had gone by and still there was no order. This time I asked the cashier, who went to the back and stated "five minutes" in which, naturally, believe. Five minutes further and no order. When I began to inquire further, it appeared that there were actually no burritos being made. In fact, instead of bringing the burritos from the back they halted the entire line, and made 75 burritos hastily, and in poor quality on the front store. By the time the burritos had been made, the line was far out the door and there were many people looking at me, as the culprit, for why the had to wait to eat.

    After hailing what I thought was all the food to my car, the employee working the register brought one final bag and stated that was it. I thanked him and drove away. Not two minutes later, I got a call saying, "You forgot the bowls." At this point, I was furious. I stated I was late, but I would turn around and to run them outside. The employee stated okay. Pulling into a very busy shopping lot, with no available parking spots, I double parked and looked. No employee. I ran inside, still double parked, and inquired. No bowls. "Can't you see we have a line" was the reply by the employee.

    Furious that they hadn't even been prepared, I stated that I expected a refund and left the store. It's an absolute joke that Chipotle can consider itself as a competitor in the catering market when a confirmed order is not only delayed by a solid thirty minutes but that the employees have little understanding of the impact that this could create for an entire event.

    Please consider looking at the sales receipts for the store, as well as the order I faxed in the night before. You will see the time I actually ended up paying for the meal, and you will also notice the lengthy delay in "sales" as the store operations were suspended as they hastily made 75 burritos on the front line. What could they have possibly been doing the entire time in the back of the store during the initial 15 minutes and who in their right mind would state "five burritos" and "five minutes" when it's an outright lie.

There were a couple of people both in front of us and behind us. As the people in front of us ordered, we noticed that the ladies that prepared their food were very generous with both the meat and the other ingredients. We thought that we had come on a good day.

    When it was our turn to order, his burrito and my bowl was the very minimum amount. My husband asked the people in front of us who were Spanish if they had ordered extra meat and toppings, but they told him "no". We then noticed the lady behind us whose bowl was heaping with ingredients. I asked her if she ordered extra and she said, "no" as well. So my husband and I came to the conclusion since we are not Spanish, that in their servers' (who were all Spanish) opinion, we didn't deserve the same quantity of food as their other customers.

    We found this very disturbing and, at that minute, decided never to eat at Chipotle again. Once we got home with the food, we noticed that the extra salsa, the lettuce in my bowl and the separate tortilla that we paid for was not in the bag. In this day and age, no one should be treated with the kind of blatant racism that we received. We made sure to tell our friends and family members about our experience there. The bad treatment that we received from Chipotle simply is not worth paying for.

    On May 30, 2010, my daughter, grand aughter and I ate at the Chipotle Mexican Grill at Riverside Plaza Drive, 92506, Riverside, California. I am sad to say that my experience was not a pleasant one. This was my first experience eating at a Chipotle restaurant. I was looking over the menu and what others were eating and noticed how large and wonderful their salad looked. I decided on the salad. The woman who was initially creating my salad was named Rosa. When it came to the next person to add to my salad, I asked her if I could have some more meat as in my mind my salad was surely not looking that great. The girl said for an extra two dollars. I said really, wow you do not get very much meat.

    Then Rosa, the woman who first helped me started showing me exactly how much meat was supposed to be given, going on to show me the cup size. She was giving me an "in your face" attitude. I responded with, "okay, okay, that is fine." I am just not really happy with it but okay. I really did not think much of it at that point until she rudely tossed onto my plate a very small piece of meat no larger than half a fork size and said, "there, here."

    I could not believe what she had just done in front of the line of customers. I turned to her and said, "Ma'am, that was very rude of you to do that." She said, "What! You wanted more so I gave you more." I told her again, "You know what you did, and that was very rude." As I was paying, I told the person who was now working the register, "Did you see what she did to me? Who was that woman?" The young girl responded with "she is our manager." I told the person at the register that I could not believe that a manager could be so rude to a customer. The young lady apologized for her manager's actions.

    First of all, I did not tell Rosa I wanted more meat nor did I make a big deal of it. Yes, I was surprised of the extra costs, of guacamole, which I did not know was $1.69 extra. I believe she was offended because I was not happy with what she served me. Second of all, I believe she just wanted to speak her mind no matter how many customers were in line waiting. Thirdly, I believe she threw that morsel of meat on my plate to embarrass me. And she did.

    What kind of manager would act such a way? Is this the type of people representing their establishment? Too many people are starving for jobs right now to be treating someone less than human. I am not writing because I want to be compensated! At the very least, I hope someone brings her rude behavior to her attention so she will not treat any more customers in such a rude manner. I was humiliated in front of more than a dozen people. My daughter could not believe how I was treated and told me, "Mom, if that would have been me, I would have said, nope, do not want it, and walked out."

    I was humiliated in front of people, and I could not sleep over how I was treated. Did I look like the type of person someone could easily bully?

    My friend and I ordered food at a very busy chipotle in Sacramento. When it was time to pay, the bill was more than I anticipated but because it was a mad house and we were in a rush, I did $19.65 without the tax and looked at the bill after sitting down. The additional charges were $1.65 for avocado when I was told it was $1.00 and they charged for extra steak which my friend said he did not ask for that which cost $2.15. So there was an additional $3.80 and there was no explanation from the manager. The place was very busy and difficult to deal with it.

    The Cupertino Chipotle cooking crew has humiliated me for the last time. I frequent the Cupertino Chipotle at least once a week. I usually order a fajita bowl + 2 margaritas. Approximately 5 weeks ago, the cooks overheard me order 2 margaritas and started laughing and speaking in Spanish saying over and over "dos margaritas, hee, hee, hee, dos margaritas." At that time, I complained to the cashier who apologized. I thought that would be the last time that it would ever happen. I explained to him that I felt made fun of and did not understand what the Spanish speaking cooks were saying. Fellow patrons behind me followed me to the area where the Tabasco sauce was and said "good for you for saying something, that was rude and came across as insulting."

    Last night, March 28, 2010 at 7:28pm, I visited Cupertino Chipotle and ordered a Fajita Bowl and two margaritas. I ate at the restaurant and was conducting business on my iPhone and stayed later than usual. I ordered one more margarita. The cooks overheard me order another margarita and started chipper away, "tres margaritas, hee, hee, hee, tres margaritas, hee, hee, hee." I felt insulted and humiliated as I am a good paying customer. I called the manager after I drove home because I was steaming mad and felt insulted. I am a good, paying customer and did not feel that I deserved to be made fun of. Luis, the acting manager at the time apologized and offered to compensate me with 20 meals. He wanted me to come by today and speak with the General Manager at 2:30pm.

    Today, when I arrived, Michael G, Area Manager, did not listen to my story. He just stated that he "had heard the story", defended the cooks and stated that he would give me just 2 free burritos. I explained to him that this was the second time that the cooks had humiliated me. He then stated that he would give me 3 Burritos but not $150 Gift Certificate. I relayed to him that not only did it take time out of my schedule today to come by but most people would not complain, they just would not return. Michael G did not seem to care about my business or any of my company's future business. When I stated that I was going to write a bad review on YELP and contact Franchise, Michael G. became insulting with me, and with a strong, loud voice, forcefully yelled at me to "Leave the Restaurant Immediately!” All the customers in the restaurant heard this. "There's the Door!" Michael G barked pointed and forcefully pointed to an exit door! And told me to never come back! He was very bullish, aggressive and displayed customer abuse. Now I feel even more humiliated!

    Their Area Manager, Michael G. is demonstrating to the Chipotle employees that derogatory behavior and treatment to good customers like me is the protocol. Corporate really needs to be aware of this and replace or retrain him. I have never been treated so badly in my life. They need to know how Chipotle customers are being treated. From the top down, their company will lose valuable patrons like me. I feel very humiliated. I have been frequenting the store at least once a week to date. The first time that the cooks made fun of me, I let it go. But last night, I realized that if I am treated this way, others most likely are being made fun of also. And now, the treatment from Michael G, wow!

    I'm not one who typically likes to dine out so I usually get food to go and take it home with me, expecting it to taste just as good as it would have been in the restaurant. Chipotle has always been a good experience for me, until a couple of days ago at the Belden Village location in Canton. I went there with maybe not quite an hour left until closing time expecting a quality burrito. What I was given however were cold stares and cold food. The employees looked irritated and treated me as though they were irritated specifically with me because I came to get a burrito when they were still open.

    Also, you could tell the food wasn't fresh and had been sitting in there for awhile which proved to be accurate when I arrived home, approximately 5 minutes away from the location, to bite into a cold and not very appetizing burrito. Economically, I wasted over $15.00 getting burritos just to throw them away due to poor quality and taste.

    I bought an 07 Chevy Malibu in August of 2008. We have had problems and issues from the day I purchased it. Most recently it started smelling like gas. The smell is so bad that my wife and I get dizzy and ill when we drive in it. We have a puddle of gas in the foam of out back bench seat. Our local dealership told us that the car is too old and not covered by a warranty so it not their problem. The main fuel line of a two year old car should not have been worn out to the point it would spray gas into our interior. I can't believe that GM will not help us will this obvious manufacture defect. This is also a safety and a health concern of ours and GM on multipule occasions has told us it is not their problem. I was previous a loyal GM customer, but I will nor will my family or friend ever purchase a GM product ever again.

    I went to Chipotle for lunch on June 11, 2009. I ordered a chicken fajita burrito. When I bit into the burrito, a very sharp object injured my tooth. It caused me great pain! I could see a crack in my tooth. I removed the object from my mouth and threw it away. I wrote them online that night to tell them about my experience. I saved my receipt. I went to the dentist that Saturday. I did have a small cavity in that tooth. I go to the dentist regularly and the pain I experienced is from biting on the object (maybe a bone) in my burrito. The pain still persists and I have an appointment on August 8th to get a crown. If it still hurts, I will need a root canal.

    Chipotle had their insurance company get in touch with me and asked me about my claim. I told them what happened and they denied any involvement. They are solely responsible for my tooth cracking. The manager at the location, John, advised me that the workers in the store are to touch the meat and inspect it but sometimes things are missed. In my cause, a very sharp object was missed.

    I had my laptop in a Chipotle store, while eating it was stolen. I had it behind me inside my bag. I was with my mother. At the time it was stolen all the people in the store, workers changed, they were gone one by one. The attitude was more than suspicious. No one came to help me. No one seemed to care. The strangest thing is that according to them they only have one camera for the cashier only. There are many aspects of my case that do make me think that are responsible, and people who work there know about what really happened to my laptop.

    No one came to help me, the person in the cashier register seemed very absent, and then she approached me identifying herself as one person who only works there. I called the police but they took over 1 hour and 20 minutes to come over. I did call 911, 25 times. The people at the store gave me the most mistrust, as soon as I started to inquire about my laptop; they got together behind the store and all started to leave. A woman came to clean the tables and said "Ah, this happens here all the time, we know that" As soon as she said that she was called and left in 5 minutes. She did not look at me as she left. Something was said to her. The all the people at the store seemed to ignore me. I had to scream at the woman, the cashier to pay attention to me and then she identifies herself as the person in charge who would call. Now I have learned that despite Apple has three cases about my laptop they made the mistake of registering the laptop under the name of another person called Gonzalez.

    I am Latino too, as well as all the people who were working at the store at the time I was there, neat DuPont Circle. I cannot say with evidence, but one thing makes me say that either the people at Chipotle know what happened or someone or more than one of those people are working with the robbers. The situation was very fussy. There was not support from the store, Chipotle. When I called, there was not help of any kind and excuses. Something happened to me there. The treatment I received was awful and bad. No one care, no one called the police, no name was taken from me, and the store did not care at all about my case. Is there anything to be done about it?
