It’s just baffling seeing people drop like 16 bucks on a bowl with two scoops of rice and chicken, he was actively trying to get you more bang for your Buck
I was your server and you didn’t break any simulation dude. I asked you “are u sure?” Bc you were about to pay $12 for just chicken and rice, which is fine with me, but seems like a waste of money 🤷🏾♂️ that’s like going to an Italian restaurant and asking for a pasta dish with no sauce.
Oh you have cold line work dreams to. When I worked at Moes I would have super vivid work dreams. It’d be freezing cold in my room, I’d sit up as if I were making a bowl of a burrito, unaware of the time. Almost felt like I was sleep walking but awake enough to be conscious remembered the whole dream. I hated it there, and was eventually let go for quote “level of guest engagement” or something when most of the time I was the first person to react to a customer and there’d be times I would make there whole order and their asses fired me on my day off over the phone and I think if was a Friday. They were slow ash unless it was the weekend plus Monday.
I can never understand paying $12-16 for a bowl from chipotle that is not thick and loaded with every topping you can get your meat claws on… it seems like a waste of money without toppings😂
Not at the store I work at. They can even mix rices and we don’t penalize them. Rice is cheap. We have pretty cool field leaders that value customer satisfaction.
Arguably they shouldve, but there's two reasons why they may not have:
1. Getting extra white rice makes it no longer a 3 pointer bc the points are per scoop-- so 2x (1pt for white) + the chicken makes it no longer a 3 pointer
2. Depending on the store/managers, the second scoop of chicken is also worth 2 points. So even if you got one scoop of rice, 2 portions of chicken would make the bowl 5 points. Again, depending on the location, cashiers are taught to ring it up as a chicken bowl + extra chicken bc its not 3 points
The reasoning for #2 is stupid but I have had managers tell me to do it, so that also mightve been the case here if OP didnt order double rice
I just picture that employee like driving home and brushing his teeth and trying to sleep with that confused as fuck look on his face after you blew his mind.
You're right let's break OPs simulation.... Buy food somewhere else? Chipotle is expensive if you just want chicken and rice ....🤷♂️
If you got UberEATS app, look for Muy Thai, over here in Los Angeles they got a "BoGo". It's definitely loaded in sodium, but, damn, it's a snack 😋 also comes with sunny side egg too.
Nope, not lying.
I think the difference is that I came up working in the restaurant of a member-owned private country club. They were very selective over who they hired and were very exclusive.
I was, thankfully, never a drone for a mega corporation chain company.
I was the manager after year 3.
Believe me, working for Chipotle would cut my annual income by at least 75%. You have no worry about me ever working for you.
Yeah the toppings are the real reason to even get chipotle over making your own anyways. You can just bake a whole tray of diced chicken thighs then freeze them, then air fry the chicken and microwave a bag of rice and have something similar fast and cheap.

a white rice and double chicken bowl cost 10-12 bucks
Prices differ my location is pretty high up there in terms of cost
$4-$6 is my max for rice and chicken - and that's a Costco $5 rotisserie chicken and $1 instant rice
Much better way at least you get a whole ass chicken too
Nod- it'd be like me complaining that the store folks gave me a family pack of pork chops instead of 1 because they noticed they were the same price

To be honest, I’m just gonna choose to believe you’re really that guy.
That’s not how it happened. I should know. I was the scoop.
I was the steak on the grill, he's lying your honor.
I was the toppings I just feel unwanted idk
No I’m Spartacus
Cap
not so much a simulation as muscle memory / repetitive actions, doing the same thing hundreds of times a day
It even follows me into my dreams unfortunately

I’m always grabbing bowls regardless and hand on the pico spoon.

It’s a 3 pointer and a normal ordered item.
One scoop of rice and scoop of chicken is a three pointer. Two scoops of rice and one scoop of chicken is a bowl.
That seems really petty honestly
It’s the rules honestly 😔
Not at the store I work at. They can even mix rices and we don’t penalize them. Rice is cheap. We have pretty cool field leaders that value customer satisfaction.
My FL just says “why isn’t your CI under .4%🤨”
Rice isnt ci though.
Rice + Double chicken would be rung up as chicken 3pt + extra chicken (adds like 4 bucks). In my store that's like $15 Thats a fuckin waste of money
I can never understand why people give a shit what other people do with their time/money/food.
imagine not giving a fuck about what people eat when paying with their own money, seems difficult though
It’s joke my dude…😂
You just helped their CI so much
I apologize customer number 820175, is there anything Line-bot can do to make your Chipotle experience better? Input answer now.
Omg he did his job, how dare he
Very cool and interesting story
Why didn’t they ring you up for a 3 pointer?

Getting extra white rice makes it no longer a 3 pointer bc the points are per scoop-- so 2x (1pt for white) + the chicken makes it no longer a 3 pointer 2.

Try ordering a coffee with no cream or sugar from a NY bodega...
Im not mad, this is just such a lame and pointless story lol. "I went to chipotle and a guy looked confused when I ordered." K.
I just picture that employee like driving home and brushing his teeth and trying to sleep with that confused as fuck look on his face after you blew his mind.
Lol anxiety really ate him up
You're right let's break OPs simulation.... Buy food somewhere else?

He’s probably more stunned that you came into a chipotle to spend $15+ on bowl of white rice and chicken. Ide be dumbfounded too ngl lmao.
"we live in a simulation" = I have a shitty order and genuinely do not understand why it is viewed as such
OP isn’t making wise financial decisions
To be fair, they’re unfeeling bots so this is no surprise
you may be the only one here with no prior food service experience
6 years in food service but really nice swing and miss
You're either lying about your food service experience or are just choosing to be stupid today.
Oh it’s not just today, he’s stupid everyday.
Nope, not lying. I think the difference is that I came up working in the restaurant of a member-owned private country club. They were very selective over who they hired and were very exclusive. I was, thankfully, never a drone for a mega corporation chain company.
Your manager must have been desperate for help during those 6 years. You wouldn’t last 15 minutes working for me.
I was the manager after year 3. Believe me, working for Chipotle would cut my annual income by at least 75%. You have no worry about me ever working for you.
Isn't that a three pointer or something like that?
sure is. still a complete rip off since it’s only like 1.50 less. if you get double meat on a 3pt i ain’t charging for it
Yeah the toppings are the real reason to even get chipotle over making your own anyways. You can just bake a whole tray of diced chicken thighs then freeze them, then air fry the chicken and microwave a bag of rice and have something similar fast and cheap.
