Straight up walked out of chipotle today after ordering because the portions were so small and expensive

That's what happens when corporate micromanages inventory in the name of profit and shareholders. It gets trickled down to the managers to get yelled at for giving away too much.

Good on you for not paying. You vote with your wallet.

This is the way. Maybe Chipotle will notice all of the walk-aways and stop trying to skimp on portions. Hopefully more of us will start doing this and making it a thing.

I still don't understand why it isn't standard that all "expensive" ingredients are either pre-portioned, weighed, or scooped out using utensils that give the same amount every time.

Like when you go to the deli and your meat is weighed. You're getting exactly what you pay for everytime.

While some people would argue this is a dick move, we should normalize walking away when corporations fuck us consumers in the ass.

I’m not eating at chipotle anymore

I’ve recently started going to Moe’s.

You get a get free quac with the homewrecker bowl, they have some nice individual toppings like onions / cilantro and you get free bag of chips + unlimited salsa + drink lol.

$8.50 + tax on Mondays yo

Good for you, more people need to start walking out. Recently my husband and I were in-line together at Chipotle. He ordered first and receives a very generous portion of meat. I order second and received a small sprinkle of meat. The skimpiest meat portion I have ever received from Chipotle. I asked for a little more meat, and she immediately snapped at me and asked if I wanted double meat. I said I just wanted a normal portion of meat. She sprinkled 3 more small pieces of meat on my bowl - with a smug smile. At that point I knew she was playing games. Even with the added 3 pieces of meat, it still wasn’t a normal serving of meat. We paid for my husband’s bowl and that was it. I decided to eat somewhere else. I won’t go back to that store again.

Chipotle is a scam. Stay strong and don't eat there until their stock goes down, WAY DOWN.

Good for you. It’s about time someone spoke with their wallet instead of paying and then bitching. I wish you would have taken photos. Some Panda Express restaurants train their employees to take a big scoop of food, but not put the full scoop into the bowl/tray. Others take two tiny scoops to add extra motion.

This is golden. If everyone takes a stand maybe these companies will get their act together.

You're smarter than the other 95% who get skimped, post complaints here, and then downvote any suggestions to go elsewhere. Proud of you 💪

Literally the CEO of Chipotle came out publicly and said "were raising prices again. What are you going to do about it?" And yet everyone is surprised?

Happened to me today ordered a burrito and it was tiny

Thia needs to happen more often.

Who the F eats out anymore! I make this Mexican food at home for pennies. So full sometimes I have to put excess in fridge. They use the cheapest quality ingredients at fast food places, fyi. You Chipotle people are brainwashed into thinking you need it and it’s better than you can make. lol

Learn to cook rice, beans and meat, youll be fine

Mine has been going nuts with the rice recently which gives the illusion of a full bowl but of course the meat is skimped.

I am telling you, it is always the manager who skimps the most : )

If I ever see the manager on DML, I switch to the regular line or vice-versa.

Destroy their CI. Walking out and making them suffer is the only way to change things.

I started eating at Chipotle frequently around ~2017

It is sad what has become of this place.

My poor college self could get 2 healthy fresh meals out of a single bowl with double meat. Now I have a smaller appetite, but that same bowl is one meal and much more expensive.

I work at chipotle and I approve of this

Didn’t it feel great to stand up for yourself. Keep it up.

My local Chiplote the other day was using the cups they serve guacamole to portion their protein. I am not sure if the girl was new or if it was for all employees, each protein meat had a cup in it. I went yesterday and they were not doing the cup measurements. I actually would not mind if they charged by weight by each food type but that would probably be a waste of containers. They usually put way too much rice and I endup over eating.

I stopped eating there a good 8 months ago. Good luck! I used to eat there a few times a week—every week.

Good! Let them know that we can also get into their level of pettiness. Now they are double mad throwing them portions into the garbage instead of actually taking care of a customer.

Keith Lee just did a not so flattering review on his tiktok.

Maybe that's help....

Proud of you! More people need to do the is when skimped.

It’s crazy cuz I used to manage a Chipotle, walked away when Covid hit, worked a few non-food jobs for years and my first time back in food was Chilis, started last year. I often thought about going back to Chipotle but the closest one to me nowadays is over a half hour away, and in the last year or two I’ve seen nothing but disappointed customers when it comes to prices/portions.

Fyi there’s a meal at Chili’s, the Fresh-Mex bowl (Chip bowl), it comes with basically everything you’d fill a bowl with at Chipotle (rice, cajun chicken, cheese, lettuce, pico, corn salsa, tortilla strips, avocados, cilantro) and it’s cheaper. I always get one for my employee meal and I always have leftovers. It’s also discounted at lunch.

I’ve been debating doing this for a while now. At least to send the message to my chipotle to not fuck with me on my portions. I have to beg for just a reasonable bowl.

The last bowl I got at chipotle was full of uncooked rice because they ran so the kid legit grabbed some from a pot that was still cooking. Absolutely inedible and I should’ve walked out like you did

Serve it like I'm paying for it...because I am.

I like this method. If it’s not acceptable, walk away.

Check out cava. It’s Mediterranean, same kinda setup as chipotle. But the experience is so much more pleasant and portions are generous.

Yeah they doing that too.  Raised price decrease portion you can only pick one not both.

Qdoba free gac

GTFO…bitch azz customer bruh

Let’s start a movement.

National walk out day.

king

Thank you for your service 🫡

Went the other day. I got the smallest scoops I’ve ever seen. If I ordered three like you I would have walked out as well. Really pisses me off if you doordash or get orders online chipotle will give you like 5 pieces of meat. Used to know a head manager and they said yeah don’t ever order online.

Just stop going there, I work at chipotle and they don’t give a sh*t about costumers either employees.

This is the way.

The last time I went there was a newer guy working and he dished out. If I could guarantee every experience was like that, I'd go far more often. Especially if that meant online orders could be packed up at the window. I got fucked on enough online orders that I refuse to order online at Chipotle. I'll order at one of the other stores nearby that have a more consistent product going out the door.

Can you weight it please to confirm it's the proper portion pls.

Go to Moe's instead

I'd ask him to weigh the meat instead of eye balling it if he was so confident.

white rice or brown rice?

It’s been so bad recently 😭 the other day I got tacos and there was one piece of chicken in two of the tacos. Like how is that acceptable anywhere

I ordered a Chipotle bowl yesterday. It was mostly rice.

Lmao. It IS optional to go in.

I hadn’t had Chipotle for about a year or two. Got a mobile order bowl and it appeared to have about half the stuff in it than what I was getting before. I couldn’t believe it.

Make sure to ask for double meat, double guac next times. Then walk away anyway. Fuck ‘em.

They went downhill when they relocated their headquarters from Denver to California. It’s just not good anymore

I listened to a podcast that called Chipotle the “thinking man’s slop” and I don’t know if I can ever go back there after hearing that.

Don’t know why this is on my feed. But I went to chipotle once like 20 years ago, and they didn’t have free chips and salsa. Never went back. 

Moes and Willys have always had free chips. Willys will give you extra for free. 

Shoulda said "sure. Double them up. Plus queso and guac.". Then say "nah, I'm good" and roll out

Those fuckers have a $3.2k stock price too. Acting like they’re broke is bullshit.

I’ve had to do that once. I was like bro that’s not enough steak and he said if he gave more it’d be double and I got to register and was like nope

does anyone know if the amount of meat the resteraunt uses is reflected in the managers paycheck, cause they sure seem to act like it.

Proud of you. Prophecy fufilled

Chipotle used to be my favorite. I would go multiple times a week. I stopped going a long time ago due to portion size and food quality. Taco Bell is better than Chipotle these days.

Wow you’re so cool for that!! 🤣

The other day I had the tiniest burrito. It was like a snack.

You made the right call. That's the only way it will ever make them change. I'd say it's even better than if you didn't go at all

Never order chipotle on the app - they’ve really been skimping on app orders it’s wild

5 pieces lololol

I order online and order extra of everything except the protein. Doesn’t cost extra and it’s always loaded down when I pick it up.

Very good work. I hate that so many people won’t stand up for themselves when they’re getting clearly screwed.

Good. That's the RIGHT thing to do.

Chipotle is mid as fuck. Most cities have a mexican restaurant or bodega that will blow them away for 1/4 of the price.

Poorly run corporations with little account for expenditures passing the cost down to the consumer is the current trend.

as a mexican I can't no mo. fuck you, white guy who shorts me on black beans. black beans!!! they cost nothing. NOTHING.

Last time I got Chipotle they broke my burrito and it was one of the most frustrating fast food experiences I ever had. I ate my sad burrito with so much anger 🤣😅

About 8-10 years ago, I walked into a chipotle for the first time. I order a very basic burrito and a side of guac. $15!! For nothing. Never went back. I still don’t understand why people just flock to these places.

The walk away…. Fucking awesome

Well done. This was a perfect way of handling this

Can anyone who works there explain why portions are so shitty now?

glad you walked away. most ppl would shake their head but still pay and take it. did you say anything to the cashier or legit just walk out lmao

https://youtu.be/-XwNPfzJCTI?si=kqWKVIFILNv4RJmN

Same thing happened to me and my husband a few weeks ago. The amount of food and the price we paid for THAT was RIDICULOUS. We swore we wouldn’t be back after seeing the portions a kid wouldn’t be satisfied with. The week after we went to Panchero’s and actually had a good meal even tho we paid the same price.

My chipotle is soo awesome, they can barely put the lid on my bowls.

I've been lucky, although I don't order Chipotle often. The closest one seems to usually give good portions for both in restaurant and ordering on the app or UberEats/DoorDash/Postmates. I worry if I put the location, Corporate will make them reduce their serving sizes. I'm half-serious.

Also, I use the tactic to get more meat of paying for 1/2 chicken and 1/2 steak, which is about $1.75 more, so maybe that's why.

I gotta walk away too

They’re brainwashed by corporate

Lmao I saw it on Tiktok and wondering if people actually do this.

It’s so simple, just stop going there. Look what’s happening to McD, they are losing their base. If enough people decide to go elsewhere, they can either charge more, and lose more customers, or charge less or give more.

Keep walking out!

Good this is the only way they learn, bonus points for getting all the way to the register too

This is the norm now, apparently.. pathetic.

Go to moes. They don't give a fuck lol. Plus free chips and salsa with every order

I was at a mall chipotle last week and asked for white rice. One scoop. I asked I could have extra white rice. They said that would cost extra $$. I just said, “eff it” and walked out hungry. Went to YouTube and found the ingredients list for the chicken and rice and corn salsa. Sad to say my chipotle days are now done, unless I make it from home or comp it as a work lunch.

Damn idk what chipotle yall be going to but in SF they be giving out mega portions lol like double meat for regular price

1.99 gets you a double stack taco at Taco Bell.

Can we call out canes next?!?

Same thing happened to me this last time I went there. The 2 bowls I ordered were half what I got before in them (and I even had double meat). It was also a manager making mine. I paid, but wished I’d have done what you did. I just won’t be going back. My boyfriend even said why’d we’d get half full bowls when I brought them home. Totally ridiculous!

I used to live on chipotle for lunches, this is for couple of years , few years ago. chipotle was the comfort food then, this was when I was new to USA. definitely the quality and the quantity is gone to shitters

Honestly I feel like managers can be like that anywhere.

Back about 14 or so years ago, I worked at a fast food place. Was trained that if a customer ordered a bacon egg and cheese biscuit, they got 2 slices of bacon, in an X pattern. Inventory issues started happening, and the general manager decided to implement an apparently older policy of 3 half slices, and decided to attempt to gaslight us all into thinking we were doing it wrong.

What happened is the store started to “grow” bacon. And the area director didn’t like that. The inventory system didn’t like if you were over, because it looked as if you were cheating the customer. And we were. And we went back to 2 whole slices.

I think we gotta start doing this. Have them make the food, seeing how much it is and walking out. They have no choice but to keep the bowl and eat it or throw it out. Chipotle would lose a lot on food being thrown out. I know because I worked at chipotle before

Best part about this is that he was so stingy and skimpy with that food now. He has to throw it out or eat that himself 😭🤣🤣

Wait, I noticed this same thing at my local Chipotle just last week. Was like all of a sudden a switch flipped and now they give out the smallest portions.

Used to be the most amount of food for the money, guess I need to pack my lunches more…

I think the portions are larger if you get them on the side

This has to be lindenhurst chipotle

Yeah I quit chipotle about 2 years ago. Not planning on going back.

If you Google the Chipotle pocket guide it shows the correct heaping scoop portions they're supposed to be using. I have it saved in my phone for any time they want to argue about skimping on the meat, then they add more without charging.

Try cooking for your self lazy ass

"It's just not worth it anymore" should be their new slogan. At least it would be accurate and truthful. So sad to see a once-great restaurant completely come apart.

Chipotle has been going down hill in my area for a while. Multiple locations too. I’d much rather go to Moes or hot heads than deal with chipotle. My last trip in the guy making the togo orders straight up argued with me that the meal he placed in my togo bag was mine. I ordered a bowl. He put a burrito in the bag. Not even close my guy

Some chipotles are a hit a miss. Just yesterday I went to a chipotle and the portion was much smaller than what I’m used to. Looked like I was eating a kids meal burrito

I. noticed it years ago at Panera. You can't fool the public with.smaller portions and bad customer service. Look at all the restaurants closing and department stores too. Just Saying...

I remember when i worked there years ago, i would get pulled aside and get a stern talking to for giving the customer a second scoop of a serving (not exclusive to meat) after they asked for it…. That same chipotle would charge people for “sides” if they asked for a little bit more cheese lol. So cheap

4 oz meat ? 🤷🏽‍♀️

Everything is shrinking and the prices have gone up in the grocery stores . I buy tissue and paper towels from Sam’s . It last longer .

Which a shame. I remember in highschool back around 2005, chipotle was the place to go to get massive fucking burritos to carb/protein load your ass before football games n shit.

Seems like it’s now the place to eat before a surgery judging by how little you now get. Sad.

Oh baby I’m that heavy handed chipotle worker that would’ve done you good hopefully you find your heavy handed worker one day 🫡

Us chipotle employees DGAF about customers like you. Hold up, in fact we’re laughing at you when you can’t afford it and are asking for more portions while the self entitlement makes us who we are.

America has an obesity problem… you people don’t need MORE food you need to go to the gym

I have two chipotles by me. One of them gives actual good portions. The other looks like war rations.

It’s the same everywhere. I have a fineness for Duncan‘s frozen coffee medium with tax cost $5.54 they charge me $.10 for an extra squirt of caramel which I feel is nitpicking what’s really put me off of them? Is that they want to now charge me $1.09, for a pupcup for my puppy which was free for years. Really? You want to lose the sale of my $5.50 frozen coffee, which is mostly ice, over a pennies worth of whipped cream in a shot glass sized paper cup?
