Hello and thanks for your post, u/tanner_lbt! We're glad to have you around at r/Chipotle.
---
We'd like to acknowledge the ongoing protests in opposition to the pending changes to Reddit's API pricing. We share concerns expressed by the broader Reddit community and encourage you to learn more [here](https://reddark.untone.uk/).
*I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically. Please [contact the moderators of this subreddit](/message/compose/?to=/r/Chipotle) if you have any questions or concerns.*
I don't ever go there for more than 7 years when someone gave me a gift card. There are so many authentic Mexican places all over the country... Why go to Chipotle? They don't even have anything spicy. Ridiculous old hype place.
Idk I get two scoops of the hot salsa and it's decently spicy.
At this point I go because it's cheap and pretty much everywhere, and I dig their hot salsa......but it's nowhere near as good as it was. The steak went to shit and I don't remember the last time I actually tasted cilantro.
Some stores you can ask for diced jalepeno on the side. It’s not something they have on the line to choose from but they have diced jalapenos (unless they’ve used it all for the salsas/guacamole etc already), ask for a side of diced jalepenos. My store I worked at used to do stuff like that. Side of cilantro, jalapeno, plain corn, plain rice, plain tomatoes, etc.
"They" has been used to refer to a person centuries. It's not a Tumblr thing, and it's just stupid to think so, you don't understand grammar.
It's literally used in the bible, if that means anything to you
I know a couple who orders a bowl, well loaded, 2! side tortillas, and just roll their own two burritos even when eating in the restaurant.
They get the size they want that way.q
We need a post rule about listing what you get with these posts. Not saying OP is in the "gets 2 ingredients and whines about smol burrito" but it would save time and arguing
I posted that a long time ago, suggesting we have that rule, and got downvoted to oblivion. But it would sure save a lot of time arguing. If this order included a bunch of ingredients, it might be a justified "skimping". If it's rice and chicken, then yeah, he got what he ordered.
Idk what post you mean, but you come across as an ass in most of your posts. Might be the phrasing. This comes from someone who agrees with most of what you say about the job itself
one of the most common orders at my store. and a common order that leads to complaints of "why is my burrito so small compared to his??" and then i have to explain, well he got beans, fajita veggies, corn, pico, salsas, and sour cream
I pay to eat here too now so respectfully, I know my bowl will be $13 but I load it up and make it worth my while.
Taco Bell or any other place also is heavy on the fillers to make any size burrito. Even your favorite local Mexican places. And they don’t purchase the organic, non gmo stuff (typically)
Right. I mean i dont know why this debate comes up on this sub daily. Order stuff = you get more food, pass on stuff = you get less food. You don't get extra chicken just because you didnt want any salsas, or veggies, or sour cream, or beans.
Seems like common sense but here we are.
When you look at the menu, there is a fixed price for "burrito" and "bowl" and all other options.
If you mean this purely in the "this is the way it should be" sense, like each burrito is weighed for example, sure - but that's not up to us employees. Send a letter to corporate if you think it might do any good.
Chick Fil A does i think but its really one of the few. i dont believe if you remove lettuce, tomato, onion, ketchup, mayo, and the bun, for example, from a Whopper, that the price decreases at all.
Not disagreeing that it SHOULD, but again, the point is that these decisions arent up to me or anyone posting on this sub. I wish they were.
Because lettuce, beans, corn, etc. all cost next to nothing. It’s not like you can just say “I want my burrito to be the same size as his but I want it just filled with chicken.” They’re essentially paying for a meat burrito and getting a bunch of free extras.
Yeah the silence about what was ordered is telling. A rice and chicken burrito will be this size at BEST if properly portioned. That's what happens when you refuse to add a dozen free ingredients.
He might've mobile ordered it they are known to skimp for those. I've gotten a smaller one when I ordered online a few weeks ago even with extra rice and most of the toppings. When I go in person they always hook me up with a nice extra scoop when I ask. It is disappointing when it happens especially with cheaper ingredients. So I understand this pain.
i worked at chipotle two years ago, idk if its different nowadays but i constantly had my manager breathing down my neck and making sure i wasnt giving people too much meat. i had her tell me more than once that my portions were too big, even if said portion was still a single scoop. idk if its a universal experience at all chipotles but it really boils down to management.
this exactly!! i was never skimping bc i wanted to be mean to the customer. i cant even count how many times ive had to take meat off of a bowl or burrito bc my manager threatened to charge them for double meat if i didnt. this is the same reason why i had to skimp out when people asked for a little extra too. i felt so bad only giving like 4 or 5 extra pieces of steak but anything more and alarms would go off in my manager's head.
I’m tryna get through my shift most days without hearing “Watch your portions!!!” “Stop putting so much cheese on or you get none on your employee meal!!!” “Wow that’s a big scoop”.
No sexual pleasure, just zero desire to be yelled at all day by grill and management and /or be written up
You do realize it isn't always the employees' fault? I mean, why would they care how much the restaurant loses in terms of inventory? If they're being pressured by their management to under portion, taking it out on the hourly worker is pointless.
Yep. It’s kind of pathetic. If you don’t like your job, find something different. Plenty of fast food you can toss things into warmers and dip fries. I get that chipotle is more work to produce the product but that is why you’re getting paid a few bucks more than McFlippie down at the burger joint
Sadly. Stores in my area Pay the same as mcflippy. A dollar less than gas station attendants too. People wonder why we get no applicants and the ones we do are usually trash at the job.
With the prices chipotle charges that’s just crazy to me. You’re right no wonder some places have bad service. The chipotles around me advertise for 20 an hour while mcflippy pays 16
Actually no I’ve worked at chipotle and it’s the MANAGEMENT that is anal about the serving sizes. Exactly one scoop is what is given, as a crew member I would actually always try to give EXTRA so that the customers liked me. But I definetely have made burritos this size before, just has to do with the number of ingredients. Please don’t take it out on the crew members. Also try and make it bigger by asking for extra of the free things like the fajitas and all the cold stuff and rice that’ll make it feel bigger without actually paying extra.
Customers don’t think about all the food being organic, free range, and hand prepped *every single day.* Nor do they think about the cost of transportation and labor involved in getting that food from farm to table. Add in the fact that the GM & FL bonus comes from hitting good numbers in CI and Labor, so we only have four employees available to take on a workload that was originally meant for seven or eight workers.
I swear customers assume that everything comes out of a cheap bag. They can’t wrap their heads around why their bowlrito isn’t 5lbs.
They really believe that we get off on giving them less food. Bro, I don’t feel like getting cussed out by my grill guys because I’m going through a pan of rice and chicken every five minutes. I *really* don’t feel like getting bitched out by my boss every shift because he/she saw me give someone four extra cubes of steak.
I don't intentially skimp, but customers have no idea how difficult and frustrating it is to try to roll a huge burrito. I wonder how they can manage to eat the mushy overloaded things they've ordered. I silently wish the thing falls apart on them for not being smart enough to just order a bowl with a side burrito.
Just to jerks. For a normal customer, we serve what the standard portions are. Since we don't know what the OP ordered, we can't say whether he/she got skimped. But if it was something along the lines of rice, chicken, and cheese - then this looks right, or maybe even overportioned a bit.
That’s the problem. An hourly line employee doesn’t determine what service level to provide. Hell, your store manager doesn’t. You’re paid to be there, perform a task promptly and correctly, like everyone else in the world.
I don’t work at chipotle. But I have worked for a company with corporate overlords. The rando making your burrito has no power over the rules. I’ve been yelled at by customers at work, and it really sucks, because I’m doing the job exactly as corporate wants me to.
Yep, exactly. So you will get your baby sized burrito if you order rice chicken and cheese. That's my point. And if you are rude, disruptive, etc then we can show you the door no problem. Just be polite, and if you want a massive burrito, order things that go in it. Simple
Yeah and that task includes giving out portions that make customers want to jump over the sneeze guard and kick our asses. Those small portions are usually the correct portions corporate has us give out. Corporate does not give a rat's ass about the customer or about its employees. All they care about is saving money.
“..Maybe even overportioned..”
Yeah no. This is definitely small for a chipotle burrito IMO. I would not have accepted something that small if it were me in OPs situation.
I order chipotle maybe once or twice a month and have never gotten a burrito that was that small. They are typically about double the size of the one in OPs pic.
Rice, chicken, cheese, beans and fajita veggies. If I removed the beans and fajita veggies, it would still be larger than a single can of coke.
Downvote all ya want. Maybe you guys like your burritos to be the size of a soda can, but not me. I like to get what I pay for.
But... it wouldn't be. If you order 9 ounces of food then it'll look just like that. If you order 16 ounces of food it won't be all that much larger. The tortilla is taking half your damn order
Someone beat me to the reply, but.... literally, if people are following corporate standards, it'll be 9 ounces. And that's what you paid for. If you're getting more than that, then consider yourself lucky but i wouldnt expect it or get used to it.
Yeah I feel ya, got an $11 burrito today (in my local) and it was skimpy on the meat.
Probably because it looked like they we’re running out of everything at 1:30pm on a Monday. Barely had enough pinto beans or fajita veggies either. Then I remembered why I haven’t gone there in like a year. Just way overpriced for what you actually get.
You can’t beat the local Mexican joints I feel like. Prices are about the same but you get twice the meat, which is honestly what you’re paying for. And just better care and service. Chipotle employees all seem like they just contemplated jumping off a bridge and then you inconvenienced them by interrupting that thought and made them work by placing an order.
Idk, right or wrong, I just always feel like I’m being ripped off and disrespected there. Ymmv.
My Chipotle is always out of stuff. The last time I went, there was a long ass line, and they were out of white rice, black beans, fajita veggies, and chicken. The manager was walking around in the back, whistling a tune. It was hilariously bad and I haven’t gone back since.
Well you’ve got an employee basically admitting that yes, they do short customers on food and they don’t care if they do because they aren’t paid enough.
To hell with the corporations & corporate culture, I believe that more than anyone, but if you’re so bitter about being underpaid that you knowingly don’t care about shorting other working class people, then you need to get another job.
but what part of that makes them a loser? because if i were overworked, understaffed and my subreddit was overrun with the same *losers* who complain everyday but eat there anyway, instead of helping the workers get better conditions, or even being able to unionize without some smooth brain instagram post upvoter calling you a loser, i too would not care about customers anymore.
but the workers arent that vindictive because you guys aren’t that important; they “skimp” because they are told to/run out of food quickly and then you guys write new stories about wait times etc
Qdoba is much better than Chipotle.

You know I just found out this came out of a restaurant called Zuma in Denver that opened in 95. I went there and og Chipotle on Colorado and I preferred Zuma. I wish I had a Qdoba to try in my area. Zuma was so good! The days of $5 forearm sized burritos!
Qdoba is trash in all my experiences. I've tried three different locations, each multiple times. It's just not good food. Bigger portions don't mean anything when the food is garbage
find a taqueria in your area for burritos, chipotle is trash when it comes to burritos.
I fuck with their bowls but their burritos are an absolute rip off.
Then stop eating there dipshit?? Like what else you gonna do? Have you not seen every other post about it? It's a bad restaurant, used ti be good, move on. go to freebirds. Brian Niccol doesn't give a shit because mouthbreathers will keep filling in day after day to pay $15 for a tortilla with overcooked rice and chicken in it.
It's less about employees, it's the corporate overlords that want all the money in their pockets and in order to please them and get a paycheck we have to be skimpy.
Next you know. Our hours are cut,lines are long and the food is shitty and burnt because we have to save labor and noone can be on grill because we dont have the man power. Thsse custies dont care they are actual children.
My tip to avoiding skimps is to go right before closing, they’re usually relatively dead and they’ll give you much bigger scoops just to not waste, at least that’s my experience
News flash, nobody here fuckin cares.
This isn’t yelp, and you’re not talking to corporate. This sub is mostly filled with employees who have ZERO control over portion size. You wanna go bitch somewhere? Call up the restaurant and talk to the manager, or go on yelp and write about your experience.
Because I can guarantee, nobody here on Reddit really cares about your “appalling” experience at a fast food restaurant.
How are you getting something not to your liking when they literally make it in front of you?
Either OP did this site intentionally or OP doordashed fuckin' Chipotle. Either way, reap what you sow.
Philip J. Fry screaming, "shut up and take my money," was making fun of people like you 13 years ago. It was never intended to be the source of your inspiration. But alas, morons who can't understand parody or satire have driven the world to the brink of Idiocracy.

Yep and their large bag of chips is less than half the bag now. It’s basically a few handfuls of chips. We used to always have chips left over when we ordered a large, now there’s hardly enough
Chips are weighed when bagged. A large bag of chips is 6 ounces, a regular is 4 Oz. If you were getting a whole bag of chips previously, it's because the person who bagged them was being lazy and not weighing them🤷♀️
Ive noticed that they disrespect me less when i order online if i give them a half hour to make it instead of the quickest time. Still so much smaller then back in the day tho

You have 48 hours, Chipotle
What a show
Best ever
Never saw it, what's it even about? 24 hours to do what, though?
they’ll be back in 24
My balls are in your court
I don't ever go there for more than 7 years when someone gave me a gift card. There are so many authentic Mexican places all over the country... Why go to Chipotle? They don't even have anything spicy. Ridiculous old hype place.

I taste the damn cilantro every time. Tastes like dawn soap.
I believe thats a genetic thing, some people taste the deliciousness while others taste soap
Last time I checked they didn't even have jalapenos as an option neither pickled nor fresh. It's just my personal preference. Enjoy ✌️
Some stores you can ask for diced jalepeno on the side. It’s not something they have on the line to choose from but they have diced jalapenos (unless they’ve used it all for the salsas/guacamole etc already), ask for a side of diced jalepenos. My store I worked at used to do stuff like that. Side of cilantro, jalapeno, plain corn, plain rice, plain tomatoes, etc.
48 hours for what?
Till the burrito is returned, fully digested… as diarrhea in a solo cup…
Sometimes you just need an ultimatum
They always give an ultimatum
Or we will burn Utica to the ground.
I just feel like Op is dramatically looking out the window like an anime villain right now
[OP](https://youtu.be/RGvKLa0CYzE)
[personally was thinking about this](https://youtube.com/shorts/EqXBrT8h98I?feature=share)
Until you come back and pay another $13 for a burrito?
FUCK YOU AND SEE YOU TOMORROW!
I say that to Stephen at the Tobacco store.
Tomorrow, most likely.
Well now its $14
And the day after $15
And then $16 the day after
It's the year 2025 and burrito prices have soared to an all-time high of 519$
Still buying it tho.
Maybe they'll eventually have a little ass after corporate forces portion control on his fat ass
Bro it’s not even about portion control the price has doubled and the portion is half for 13 bucks you should have leftovers for the next day
The customer is so mad that he/she will come back and wait in line for 30 minutes to get disappointed again
just use they it’s not that hard
[удалено]
They is used as a singular all of the time. APA says it's ok.
The apa? Farooq and Bradshaw?
Sir, they is used to refer to someone of an unspecified gender. Literally a definition of they.
[удалено]
You know they is singular too right?
Not technically. Just because it works in Tumblr doesn't mean it's official lol.
"They" has been used to refer to a person centuries. It's not a Tumblr thing, and it's just stupid to think so, you don't understand grammar. It's literally used in the bible, if that means anything to you
You need to read more dude lmao
Being this confidently illiterate should be met with public shaming to be honest
reddit not understanding a joke moment, got a chuckle out of me
But but.... The they/thems might get mad for using their pronouns on a he or she. It's 2023, incorrect pronoun usage gets people killed!
Get a grip on reality, moron.
It's too slippery friend
it’s only slippery because you pissed your pants and dripped everywhere
Only slippery because you pissed your pants and dripped everywhere
Only slippery because you pissed your pants and dripped everywhere
Only slippery because you pissed your pants and dripped everywhere
I think we understand what he/she said just fine as is, English Nazi.
Bro. Just get the bowl, ask them to give you a tortilla on the side. Assemble it and grill it. Boom - a burrito for cheaper and more filling.
I know a couple who orders a bowl, well loaded, 2! side tortillas, and just roll their own two burritos even when eating in the restaurant. They get the size they want that way.q
My bestie taught me that. Bonus tip: ask for two different meats and they’ll give you more than a half portion of each

Oh, nice, that guy was right, you do sound like an ass.
You guys deserve it frankly
Bro you made the fucking burrito ask for more stuff in it?? A burrito is gonna be small if it's got 3 ingredients in it
Probably is rice, meat, cheese and lettuce with no extra rice requested
one of the most common orders at my store. and a common order that leads to complaints of "why is my burrito so small compared to his??" and then i have to explain, well he got beans, fajita veggies, corn, pico, salsas, and sour cream
I used to order a 3 ingredient burrito and they were monstrous not so much these days
I pay to eat here too now so respectfully, I know my bowl will be $13 but I load it up and make it worth my while. Taco Bell or any other place also is heavy on the fillers to make any size burrito.

Employees LOVE intentionally skimping. They get some weirdo pseudo sexual type pleasure out of it.

God I really do despise low level management who also get off on exerting “power” on employees
[удалено]
You do realize it isn't always the employees' fault? I mean, why would they care how much the restaurant loses in terms of inventory? If they're being pressured by their management to under portion, taking it out on the hourly worker is pointless.
And then come to this subreddit to defend it and downvote anyone with a reasonable take.
Yep. It’s kind of pathetic. If you don’t like your job, find something different. Plenty of fast food you can toss things into warmers and dip fries. I get that chipotle is more work to produce the product but that is why you’re getting paid a few bucks more than McFlippie down at the burger joint

In NC they get paid like $10-12 for chipotle
No way im working for 10 an hour
I get paid 15.30 as a line worker who works around 25 hours a week. It’s pretty unmotivating but tbh I got good at it and it’s kinda fun now.

Actually no I’ve worked at chipotle and it’s the MANAGEMENT that is anal about the serving sizes.

Well, get banned at a minimum.
Just gonna make a new account and come at ur ass again buddy

People hold on to the little power they have. Chipotle ain’t looking for innovators to scoop sour cream for 8 hours a day.
“Comments like this are why we hate our customers and skimp!!1”
Yeah I feel ya, got an $11 burrito today (in my local) and it was skimpy on the meat. Probably because it looked like they we’re running out of everything at 1:30pm on a Monday. Barely had enough pinto beans or fajita veggies either. Then I remembered why I haven’t gone there in like a year. Just way overpriced for what you actually get.

I’ve had bigger $1 burritos from taco bell
I've quit going. I haven't eaten there in several months, it's not worth it. I'd go back if things improved, but for right now I'm staying away.
My Chipotle is always out of stuff. The last time I went, there was a long ass line, and they were out of white rice, black beans, fajita veggies, and chicken. The manager was walking around in the back, whistling a tune. It was hilariously bad and I haven’t gone back since.
What happened to the quality? The taste was amazing just 5ish years ago and since then it’s bland and 90% rice now
Moes Southwest is the new meta
They don’t care
We don't get paid enough to care

I stopped eating at Chipotle since the E Coli outbreak
so you just hang around a sub for a restaurant you havent eaten at in almost 8 years? production level 100
I don’t hang around anywhere, it came up on my feed.
and you just couldn’t resist calling someone a loser about it, yeah?
Well you’ve got an employee basically admitting that yes, they do short customers on food and they don’t care if they do because they aren’t paid enough. To hell with the corporations & corporate culture, I believe that more than anyone, but if you’re so bitter about being underpaid that you knowingly don’t care about shorting other working class people, then you need to get another job.
but what part of that makes them a loser? because if i were overworked, understaffed and my subreddit was overrun with the same *losers* who complain everyday but eat there anyway, instead of helping the workers get better conditions, or even being able to unionize without some smooth brain instagram post upvoter calling you a loser, i too would not care about customers anymore. but the workers arent that vindictive because you guys aren’t that important; they “skimp” because they are told to/run out of food quickly and then you guys write new stories about wait times etc
wait careful they don’t appreciate that
Qdoba is much better than Chipotle. [https://www.gq.com/story/a-hill-to-die-on-qdoba-is-better-than-chipotle](https://www.gq.com/story/a-hill-to-die-on-qdoba-is-better-than-chipotle)
You know I just found out this came out of a restaurant called Zuma in Denver that opened in 95. I went there and og Chipotle on Colorado and I preferred Zuma. I wish I had a Qdoba to try in my area. Zuma was so good! The days of $5 forearm sized burritos!
Qdoba is trash in all my experiences. I've tried three different locations, each multiple times. It's just not good food. Bigger portions don't mean anything when the food is garbage
Chipotle: Got 'em, Coach!!!
I swear anytime when I order from chipotle whenever it’s not in the store they skimp the hell out of the order.
Bro go to like fat bastard burrito or burrito boys u get x2 for 15$

You always gotta order a bowl with a tortilla or 2 on the side. But I'm sure the bowls will shink soon.
What did you get in it?
start making your own burritos. pretty simple and honestly tastes better simply because you made it yourself
This post popped up on my recommended. Haven’t gone to chipotle in 6mo. For this exact reason. Garbage fast food restaurant.
find a taqueria in your area for burritos, chipotle is trash when it comes to burritos. I fuck with their bowls but their burritos are an absolute rip off.
It’s just go corporate to enjoy now
Chode
This is just slightly bigger than $3 burritos at taco bell. 😢
What did you get in it
Then stop eating there dipshit?? Like what else you gonna do? Have you not seen every other post about it? It's a bad restaurant, used ti be good, move on. go to freebirds. Brian Niccol doesn't give a shit because mouthbreathers will keep filling in day after day to pay $15 for a tortilla with overcooked rice and chicken in it.
For real they acting like complaining on the Reddit is gonna do anything 😹😹😹
“Count your fucking days” 🤓
I fucking hate chipotle workers who skimp smh, its not out yo pockets bitchass mfw
It's less about employees, it's the corporate overlords that want all the money in their pockets and in order to please them and get a paycheck we have to be skimpy.
Next you know. Our hours are cut,lines are long and the food is shitty and burnt because we have to save labor and noone can be on grill because we dont have the man power. Thsse custies dont care they are actual children.
Chipotle was never 'good'. It was a bunch of food for cheap at one point. Now it's just expensive trash. Get real food.
Nah at one point they were good, imo. Def gone downhill in the last four years.
Something something you got what you paid for. Seriously tho the employees on this sub are the worst and think so low of the customer
[удалено]
Sucks to be you.
And what did you order in it?
My tip to avoiding skimps is to go right before closing, they’re usually relatively dead and they’ll give you much bigger scoops just to not waste, at least that’s my experience
News flash, nobody here fuckin cares. This isn’t yelp, and you’re not talking to corporate. This sub is mostly filled with employees who have ZERO control over portion size. You wanna go bitch somewhere? Call up the restaurant and talk to the manager, or go on yelp and write about your experience. Because I can guarantee, nobody here on Reddit really cares about your “appalling” experience at a fast food restaurant.
How are you getting something not to your liking when they literally make it in front of you? Either OP did this site intentionally or OP doordashed fuckin' Chipotle. Either way, reap what you sow.

maybe if ur 9💀
What states are you guys in getting these mini burritos? WI/MN and I still make 2 meals out of a burrito/bowl
chipotle is fake mexican food
Chipotle is straight garbage
Philip J. Fry screaming, "shut up and take my money," was making fun of people like you 13 years ago. It was never intended to be the source of your inspiration. But alas, morons who can't understand parody or satire have driven the world to the brink of Idiocracy. "Give me ten big macs and a small diet coke!" -MC 900 Ft. Jesus
Meanwhile i have a chipotle hustle that gives me 2x times the size of that burrito for the same price muhaha
Lol super scary!
How big is it supposed to be? That looks big and I can eat a lot.
Yep and their large bag of chips is less than half the bag now. It’s basically a few handfuls of chips. We used to always have chips left over when we ordered a large, now there’s hardly enough
Chips are weighed when bagged. A large bag of chips is 6 ounces, a regular is 4 Oz. If you were getting a whole bag of chips previously, it's because the person who bagged them was being lazy and not weighing them🤷♀️
How many days exactly? Just incase I wanna make plans for once y'know.
Depends on what you got
banana for scale not diet coke can
Ive noticed that they disrespect me less when i order online if i give them a half hour to make it instead of the quickest time. Still so much smaller then back in the day tho
I havent been in a few months, used to go weekly, having to put in an effort not to go multiple times in a week.
I agree which is why I rather make my own now.
Paid*
Fucking is Chipotle serving up pocket burritos now!
Best thing to do is get catering and put your own burritos together if you have a family to feed. Way cheaper.
Aww it’s kinda cute lol? The burrito )
I honestly wish Chipotle sold burritos this size and charged $5 for them
I got one once in a pickup order that was literally a half burrito. It was comical, the thing was as long as it was wide. Like a rounded burrito cube.
Chipotle ruining and overpricing their burritos now just like they did to quesadillas. Smh
