Hello Chipotle fanatics, come one, come all. For I will enlighten you a little bit of what makes a Chipotle Linemen tick (and tick off especially). So the next time you order you won't obliviously piss a Linemen off. Here's a few pointers (bound to have more and more in the future):
-When you order a burrito, make sure you order what you say. Nothing is worse then ordering a Chicken Fajita but asking for black beans. Honestly people.
-Order things in the line in the fashion you see them. It's lined up rice first, meat second, and so on for a purpose. It's not meant to jump back and forth. I know sometimes people forget, but I've seen multiple offenders doing this on a occasion. Don't order everything then ask for extra rice on the end of the line. It's a pain, it truly is. This is probably a top 3 in things that would drive a Linemen to a shooting spree. Especially in heated, busy rush situations; it's like the whole Visa commercial (I think it was Visa), everyone's paying Visa and one guy pays cash and disrupts the entire flow of the line. Yeah, it's that bad.
-When the cashier asks "what kind of burrito is this?" Don't blow him off (like don't ignore him) or don't say something like "fajita burrito." Chances are he's asking because he needs to know which meat to charge you with, not because he's creepy and wants to know what your going to eat.
-Please please please don't call the sour cream "white sauce" or "white salsa." We'll ask people "sour cream or cheese?" And people will STILL respond with "white sauce please." It's not really a big deal, but it's more of a thing for you customers. It creates a very awkward moment and laughter is usually held in till the customer leaves and is released with huge amounts of giggling and poking fun at the customer. That's if your lucky. If we feel like being mean we'll tease you up front ;)
-Learn to have fun ordering. Don't be a pissy little baby just cause your having a crappy day, taking it out on Chipotle Linemen isn't the answer, chances are we'll be pissy right back at you (as bad as that is...).
That's all I got for now, I'll probably post a 'second edition' later when I get around to it.

thats so weird that you used to live in diamond bar!!!
so ive been at chipotle for 5 days, i mean its ok. If the employees there were just a little nice to me, my job would be alot more enjoyable. All the girls there dont really talk to me, actually know one does. Im pretty sure it has to be the barier between white and mexican. it sux, it makes me sad actually. I work in salsas and they expect us to get everything done at 10:30, no one tries to have a convo with me at all.
ughhh i just feel so out of place :(
It's like that at first, believe me. Like 7 crew guys, and all Mexican except an Asian guy. It's hard to find a place to fit in, but you gotta prove yourself to them. They'll think your incompetent and not good enough to work along with them, but if you joke around and poke some fun something is bound to happen.
I think I know exactly who you are, you lived up the street from me when we were kids! We went to Evergreen Elementary and Chapparral middle school! Unless your a different Cynthia...
Interesting to know.
god i hear that. i hate working at chipotle. the customers are incredibly rude. i basically want to hit people in the face at all times.
