Foodtok makes things sooooo much harder for the service industry. If you aren’t waiting tables whilst a loud party of ten records you with their phones FLASH ON then you’re serving them the food that isn’t to their liking.
A new trend is chipotle cheaping out on the fillings and I can verify that this is 100% a fact as we’ve been given smaller sizes of ladles to dish out a smaller amount of the meats, but I have no control over this it’s a company decision… “The bowls are smaller than they were last week, can you get me a bigger one?”
THATS NOT HOW THIS WORKS AHHHHH
People in the west have been so used to having things their way that any sort of change is obviously the workers fault because IM the one keeping the large bowls to myself IM the one who is skimping out on portion sizes so I can goblin mode the fillings when my shift ends IM the one who increases the prices and all that.
I’m definitely going to look into unionizing because I can’t deal with any set back or pay cut because I’m sure something like that is coming round the corner. I don’t think chipotle is doing too good and the store a walk away from my location shut its doors down for good.
I just don’t want another customer to record me saying I’m not giving them enough filling just so they can refuse to pay, walk out, and upload to their millions of followers.
It doesn’t help that the CEO himself is encouraging this sort of behavior
Especially with him saying shit like
"Just give them *the look* and they'll give you more"
Some guacamole fuled malcontent will take their shot soon
I wish someone would turn him into carne asada 🙄
Would be a shame if someone were to give him the look
Lol id be giving everyone triple servings
I never speak to food service workers, purely out of respect. You know your job. you do your job, i get my food. End of transaction. Keep it movin’ folks. Don’t try and get in their work flow or whatever, they’re just a person. Let them do their job.
Thank you~
Also me neither and I always leave a tip even if it’s for something small like a coffee, I’m always looking out for them and I don’t have any complaints. If the product is bad I blame the company cheaping out on produce rather than blaming the person making my order.

100% same
I worked in grocery for nearly 20 years and I feel for you lol.
I thank them repeatedly. Walking toward me with my coffee? Thanks. Putting my coffee down on the table? Thanks. Asking me if I needed anything else? No thanks. Saying “enjoy” and walking away? Thanks

That dickhead in charge of Chipotle specifically blamed the workers instead of taking ownership. That’s worth burning the company down I reckon
I wonder if there would be any conflict if I decided to unionize
Starbucks employees have had a lot of success. Might be worth reaching out to their Union and finding out how to unionize Chipotle, then start working on that process locally. That sound absolutely exhausting though and no guarantee’s of unionization
I reached out to a local teamsters branch and they gave me a bunch of literature and pins to give out at work but I haven’t yet. I want my coworkers to be on board with it fully before I commit. I did put one flyer up in the bathroom which stayed up a week but I was testing the waters. I’ll soon be able to have discussions. I was told by the union it takes time to get people on board because not everyone is happy with paying the entry fee and having some of their pay docked but the security we get with a union is so much greater than not being union.
