Unless you go at an odd time of the day, you are almost always guaranteed to stand in a line at Chipotle for at least 15 minutes before even ordering. It's (typically) not the employees' fault. It's the customers that screw it all up and waste your lunch break. Here's why:
1. The picky eater
"Ummm..... Can I get half white rice and half brown rice?"
"No beans please.. actually, can I get them on the side?"
"I'll have theeeeee chicken.. WAIT NO! Can I possibly try the chorizo?"
"Okay, yeah I'll just have the chicken."
"Just a little bit of mild salsa."
"Wait, sorry, can I get a little bit more?"
"I'll take the guacamole on the side."
"Oh and can I also get a hot tortilla on the side?"
"Can I make it to-go now?"
Do you want me to go on? If this is you, I'm sorry but I only hope that you're behind me in line.
2. The small child that orders for themselves
I'm all about letting your child be independent and learn how to speak up and order for themselves, but sometimes it's easier and faster for all of us if you just do it for them. I only have a 30 minute break sometimes, and I don't want to spend it watching you're child try to decide between a quesadilla or tacos.
3. The one on their phone
Please for the love of God, can you just not be on the phone for just a few minutes? Just order your food, pay for it, then get out of the way. I'm hungry.
4. The one who orders for someone not there
I'll admit, I've done this before but I'm always prepared. At least have the order written down or on a text. If they're not answering sucks for them. Snooze ya lose!
5. The jock who eats for two
We get it, you lift. Order your double meat, double wrapped burritos and get out of my way.
6. The girl on the diet
Don't ask the employees the nutrition info, they usually don't know. Look it up before you come and order the damn salad.
7. The first timer
I'm really excited that you're about to eat one of the best quick-service inventions that is Chipotle, but you're the WORST. You take forever to order, but good for you.
