Jesus after reading all of this I'd hate to work at Chipotle. Half this, a few drops of that, wrong beans! I would imagine that everytime one of you guys makes some sort of request the employee tries to kill you with his laser eyes.

Perhaps you've never been to Chipotle. They have three people for each step of the process. Given a bean preference between two varieties, it shouldn't be difficult to scoop the correct one. But I'm totally with you on the meat part. I mean, YOU WANT TWO SCOOPS OF MEAT!?!?!? AND DIFFERENT MEATS!? HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO KEEP UP WITH THIS!!!?

I've been there many times and they are about as well organized as you can make it. I'm commenting more on the fact you have a line out the door, it's loud as hell, and you're making a pretty crappy hourly wage each time someone makes a special request or you can't hear them or whatever, your screw is going to tighen just a little bit. Right or wrong, eventually you're going to have complete contempt to your customers and each time they ask for something that you're not used to you're going to want to kill them. I think that's the problem with the reverse buffet style where you specify as you go what you want...

Enough of my rant. Chipolte rocks.

Chipotle's quality has dropped off substantially in the past six months, so don't worry about it.

Threads about Chipotle make me miss living in Vegas almost as much as I miss the casinos.

1) This thread is teh awesome
2) Qdoba is teh suck
3) Mixing meats is teh suck
4) To the guy who thinks he's special for eating at Chipotle 2-3x a week -- you're not alone, bud. There have to be a ton of regulars, especially at lunchtime at locations near major office complexes.
5) I'll have to try the four salsas. I especially like holding up four fingers when ordering the four salsas, that's kind of baller.
6) You shouldn't say "light hot sauce" you should say "a little bit of hot sauce". FWIW, my usual pattern when ordering a fajita is to ask for "some of the tomato and some of the corn" and then at the last minute I'll say "oh, and just a little bit of the hot sauce too". This always works.
7) If you order tacos with guacamole, make sure to get lettuce because the lettuce will cover up the guacamole since it's the same color and about 25% of the time you won't get charged for the guac. This is the most important thing to know before eating at Chipotle.

Nate - good solid points there. I will comment on a few of them.

3. Mixing meats is not the suck. In fact, it's quite delicious to get the chicken/steak "hybrid" combo.

4. This is true. <10 times per month is not much. There are plenty of people that go much more often. I lived directly across the street from one last year and I went 5+ times per week. The cashier knew my roommates and I and started charging us for only a drink with each visit which made it financially awesome to go there ($1.50 for a burrito/drink).

7. This is a good idea. I notice that when I get double meat (about 95% of the time), it's like a game of telephone since it goes through 3 people...I get charged for the double meat maybe 50% of the time. That's def. nice.

FWIW, I had Chipotle for lunch today in inspiration from this thread. My selection:

Burrito bowl with rice, black beans, chicken extra steak, tomatos, hot salsa, cheese, guacamole

It was delicious.
