Tried it one time. Food was a lot more bland than I expected, it cost an arm and a leg, and every employee acted angry at everyone. Doubt I'll ever go back.
I used to work at Chipotle and allow me to tell you a few things that kind of made me... not happy. One time for our dishes, we ran out of soap and just had the sanitize liquid. So our store manager said "Just have the water be super hot, scrub off the visible grime and put it through the sanitizer". So, for the whole day we were placing our food into half clean containers. The other time, and this was during work mind you, I had picked up a major, horrible stomach ache and was going to the bathroom every 10 -15 minutes. After the fourth time, I walked up to the manager and was explaining what was bothering me. Their words were, "Are you coughing or just pooping alot?" I responded with, "I'm pooping a lot." They simply said, "You're fine, just wash your hands." Note, I wasn't doing dishes and I wasn't working the stove, I was handling the freaking food. Like, the person folding and preparing the burritos. Yes, I washed the heck out of my hands, but like... yeah.... I didn't feel good preparing that food for the customers at all :/

Why do y'all lie like this every day on everything just to sound cool? First of all, even if it was true, you're talking about the years where the world was still normal and everything wasn't as fake as now so you saying that it just shows that you either trying to sound cool or your stomach is a pu*sy really. Guacamole is guacamole, nothing more, nothing less and unless the ingredients are rotten, they're not going to fu*k you up 🙄🤦🏽♂️.
@mprooveit3588 I see ppl always complaining about the prices, but they always hide the fact they get double meat, queso, and guac. I live in the Bay Area but still the avg price for a chicken burrito is usually 10~12$ depending on the city
Gotta love the entitled people who believe that they deserve 75 dollars worth of meat for $9 and then over exaggerate the price. You got to be a female or a guy that wants to be a female..
@L-S-001 All of you that say stuff like that has never worked in fast food. The food there and practices are a lot better than most of you that make your food at home. They usually have better quality fresh and frozen foods than any of you get from the grocery store. I don't even eat at peoples houses because most of you are nasty and cross contaminate.
No it's not you because none of y'all are getting sick off of it. Y'all just running around riding waves and trends trying to sound cool because for some reason this new world is obsessed with thinking that being a victim to something stupid makes them cool SMH. I hate to burst y'all's bubbles but just because you're mad that you don't deserve $80 worth of meat for $10 doesn't mean that it makes you sick just like Taco Bell doesn't make nobody sick for real. Y'all are crybabies and the fact that it's more and more guys acting like females these days too it just says that this country has absolutely no shot of actually being tough enough to take up for themselves in any situation because y'all are running around too busy trying to be 15 year old girls. These places wouldn't even be around if everybody got sick and if they didn't give enough portions dumba*s.
Nobody gets sick from Chipotle or taco bell, that's why they all still go there all the time. People in today's world are completely obsessed with believing that being a victim of something makes them cool. Just like I said with the taco bell, you can take that for instance, you can take the fact of the Kendrick and Drake beef in the fact that people are suddenly acting like they always listen to Kendrick or always think about deep things or always use their brain or don't support immorality every day of their lives. If you just watch people when they're talking sh*t about something, you will see that the majority of them are people that no one has ever seen have these problems and not only that but you will see that the majority of them are the same people that keep these people and places rich. You got people been eating at these places their whole lives and now all of the sudden they make them sick. This is one of the many consequences of single motherhood. All of them females doing whatever they want to and creating single mother households in raising their daughters to be just as stupid and equally as overdramatic and full of lies and raising their sons to be soft and entitled liars and crybabies like men aren't supposed to be raised. People think this is just talking trash but everything is more deep then just some big reason. Little things add up to big things.
Same, I've never understood the fervor towards chipotle making people sick. It used to be Taco Bell was the same. Everyone joking about getting the shits after Taco Bell and I never have either.
@@OneironauticalOne it's almost like these franchise restaurants all have different owners who have varying levels of respect for health and safety. and also the literal E coli outbreaks as stated in the video
@@BeefMeisterSupreme That shit happens everywhere. Its not exclusive to Chipotle... Nor is it more prevalent at there. Its just a large chain that gets more customers/attention.
That’s funny 😂 I’m actually the opposite. Never been sick from Taco Bell but everytime I get Chipotle I have a super upset stomach. So I just stopped eating there. 😢
Prices are absurd, they cancel every fun promotion like Halloween's booritos (Bogo) if you are wearing a costume. They need to bring back 2017 Chipotle. Probably that Taco Bell CEO wrecking it from the top down.
More like they need to bring back 2005 Chipotle when there were only THREE in the greater Los Angeles area and they actually cared about service and quality. Back when everything was actually made fresh and if something was out, your order was free. And this was at the Beverly Center Chipotle. Mind you, I used to get a double burrito w/ guacamole with a drink for only $8 then! And that was pricey at the time.
Used to love Chipotle, but they've gone downhill significantly in the past few years. We don't go there any more. The final straw was a year or so ago. They were out of like half of the toppings, the tables were filthy, and the trash receptacles were overflowing onto the floor. We didn't get sick, but it just left such a negative impression that we haven't been back.
Never knew Kansas City got the first Chipotle outside of Colorado. I worked in restaurants in my youth and after seeing the range of back of the house from ultra clean and spot on safe food handling, to the owner pulling shriveled and gross green and red pepper pieces out of the trash for the marinara sauce, don’t eat at restaurants unless it’s a family gathering. Then I try to order the least likely to be poisoned or fell on the floor items as possible. Plus never eat the “Buck Night” $1 greydogs at a KC Royals Game. I say greydogs as they are technically hotdogs from Aramark, but they are grey in color and turn your poop purple.
What’s wrong with chipotle: 1.) insult to Mexican food 2.) they cook with seed oils 3.) taste is mid 4.) ingredients sit out in their nasty trough and get flies on them.
Sam Cobra here! We've been flooded with contaminated lettuce, and we have a hard time discarding it. We need to keep serving it so our people can stay happy!!!!!
I used to like Chipotle, but then the locations I frequent changed how they prepared their chicken, and it became gristly and bland. No idea what the hell is up with this brand.
After I stopped working at Chipotle where I live (not because I disliked it, but because I moved), I remembered talking to a customer that had been going, and saying they would get sick sometimes after eating there. I asked them what they typically ate, and they said the chicken or the steak. My advice was, if they did not have an issue with pork, to try the carnitas. Sure enough, they had no problem with the carnitas. Turns out they had an intolerance to the adobo paste that is used to season the chicken and the steak. That stuff is delicious if you can stomach it, but it can be harsh on those with a sensitivity to it. In other cases, when we had customers who complained that they had gotten sick, more like food poisoning, after eating at our Chipotle, all investigations turned up they had gotten sick from eating somewhere else before eating at our location, and we were simply the last place they ate at. There were various times while I was working there that there were lettuce and tomato recalls, but that affected entire areas of the city, not just us. I myself have eaten at many different Chipotles, in different locations, for more than ten years and have never once gotten sick. Sadly, the barbacoa would probably give me heartburn now. Just way too much spice. A lot of people correlate the place that made them sick with the last place they ate, not realizing that not all food based illnesses actually occur shortly, or even within a day, after eating something. Some can take 24 to 48 hours to show their effects.
They get in too much of a hurry at ours. I finished half of it before I realized how raw the chicken was (I had been doing some drinking beforehand) but I didn't get sick thankfully. At another location I was served guacamole that felt like it was stabbing my mouth. I don't know if maybe fiberglass or metal got in there or if a chemical was causing it. It was really strange.
One of my co-workers had to leave his Taco Bell burrito to take care of other business (work lunch hour--you know how they sometimes are). When he returned, he had to call us all in to watch the maggots crawling out of the food. I've heard other reports of the same from elsewhere. I'll just stick with making my own burritos and tacos. I know where they've been.
Went to a Chipotle back in 2019 with a coworker. Watched an employee handle meat, veggies, and money all without wearing gloves in all of it's contaminated glory. Had a lot of fun reporting that one, lol.
Thank you! I'd probably say something right then and there, maybe the employee didn't know better but they really should have. Actually, whoever trained them should have taught them better
2015-2017 was about to be the end of Chipotle far as them outbreaks. People was coughing over food and not washing hands in washings and Oregon. Smh I don't eat Chipotle no more. I haven't ate there since 2015
My location as soon as you walk in has this sour af smell lighting up the whole place. Also the food looks all dull and lackluster of color, sitting in a heat tray all day. Not to mention all the fruit flies flying around. Yuck.
Did he just say that Chipotle isn't a health food place? 😂 I literally eat a salad with no rice or beans and double meat almost every day and I am getting leaner. He claims the saturated fats from the meat are bad but I'd argue Chipotle would be healthier if they switched to cooking their meat in saturated fat instead of cheaper oils.
i've never had chipotle, doesn't exist in my country, I do however remember the south park episode where they make a joke about how everyone loves chipotle but the bloody diarrhea you get from it afterwards is annoying. and that ep is from 2009 so that was already a well established thing by that point atleast
i worked at chipotle. i was a griller. the reason people get sick from chipotle is because the company hires teenagers who often times dont check the temps of the chicken or they lazily cook the chicken to keep up with peak hour
Thank you for sharing that irrelevant piece of data. No one has ever said that everyone who eats at Chipotle gets sick. The majority of their customers do not get sick. That's not the issue.
Uhhhh.....so you didn't really tell us why Chipotle keeps making us sick. All of them are hygiene problems that the other fast food chains haven't had to deal with? I did appreciate the history of Chipotle but you didn't answer the question of the title.......
I get wicked explosive diarrhea and stomach cramps within 20 minutes of eating there. Doesn’t matter what location I visit which sucks because I actually like their food I just don’t like spending 30 minutes in the toilet.
I live in eastern Iowa and we have a local place called Pancheros. They start with a dough ball that becomes your tortilla and it makes a huge difference. They also mix your burrito before wrapping it, they are far better then Chipotle.
@@willk5216 You're speaking from experience? You've eaten Mexican food from all of those states? Nice way to insult all the Mexicans who open their own restaurants with old family recipes.
I don't know exactly why, but even tho I have never been to Chipotle in my life or even seen one, it immediately have a reluctant reaction when I hear the name. Their reputation is THAT bad.
....I dun buy from them, too many local places that give ya full portions of meat with out me filming them. The current ceo and corporate higher ups can suck a rotten avocado.

Sad thing is Chipotle bought from same place/places Qdoba's does in early 2010's to help the company's sick food issue but even when both companies now order from the same place Qdoba has gotten people less sick in this time, proving it is the way Chipotle has handled the food they get and poor management.
"Saturated fat is bad" is a myth. Even high sodium I think is largely overblown. We used to consume 4-5 grams over a hundred years ago. Probably a decent amount of potassium in the typical bowl to balance out the sodium, more so if you the guacamole. They just need to switch from using so much bran oil, to something more stable. Still better than plenty of other "fast food" options. I'd eat there more if they switched oils. Or, I was more active. Hard to justify getting the tortilla and rice if you don't plan doing a ton of physical activity. edit: Just looked at the fat profile for rice bran oil. Thought it was worse than it was. Do also wonder about the phytic acid content.
It's not a myth and hundreds of years ago people had to actually hunt for their food and sprint everywhere, of course 4-5g of sodium isn't bad when you're sweating that much. In modern day unless you're a marathon runner, you do not need to consume that much sodium.
@@Digger-Nick its a myth. Good point about sodium & exericse. Still think it's overblown. So long as your kidney function is in a certain optimal range.

ngl as an ex chipotle employee i used to give people way less portions if theyd order a burrito, especially if it was a double wrap. its not funny when a tortilla rips, or when youre wrapping up soup bc the customer ordered extra of every sauce inside the burrito. on the other hand, if you ordered a bowl or got your sauces on the side id load it tf up as a sign of respect
I’d rather have Qdoba, free guac and queso on entrees and no high profile outbreaks. Plus I feel the prices are a bit more reasonable for what you get.
There's a Chipotle building going up near me. I think it's been under construction a couple years. It has a sign that says "coming in summer, 2024." It's now almost Halloween, 2024, and the place is far from ready. 2. I tried Chipotle years ago, never went back after the guacamole burned my mouth and I simply threw it away. 3. I avoid food labelled local, natural or organic. It's too likely to have been fertilized with manure, etc, and it gives me diarrhea. I doubt that Chipotle's food-poisoning problems were caused by employees.
I used to work at Chipotle and they wouldn’t let anyone leave work when they were sick, even when people were throwing up they begged them to stay or threatened to cut their hours if they left, sometimes having the person work in between shifts of throwing up. It was gross and a terrible place to work.
The founder and CEO of Chipotle came into the location I worked at and he didn’t acknowledge anyone except the regional manager. He had a posse of other guys in suits who talked to us about our experience and took a photo but otherwise it was a horrible experience of corporate guys clashing with the real workers.
Confirmation bias... And vocal minority. Like saying Taco Bell makes you shit. Sure, for some people, but for the other 99% it's delicious food and they feel fine.
I used to enjoy them but all the food poisoning incidents have permanently scared me away. I can get similar fast casual Mexican food from a number of other places, none of which makes me worry I’m putting my life at risk
I eat here rarely. We've never been sick. But i did visit one in Florida where the sneeze guards were gone and the employee sneezed. They remade the order but i filled a complaint. The dm offered me a few meal and meet me at the store where all guards were back in place!
I got sick every time I ate at Chipotle long before the high profile outbreaks and gave up on it. Even before then, it wasn't worth the cost, so I always wonder why so many people keep going there.
My town has two really great locally owned Mexican restaurants. One is high end with a very traditional and authentic menu, and the other is a simple Taqueria style place. We just had a Chipotle move in right across from the high end place. Locals aren't terribly excited for it, but we are in a high tourism area, so unfortunately Chipotle is likely going to draw business away from the local places.
I got sick from Chipotle the last time I went. I remember thinking it was the most delicious it had been in a while as I was eating it. I then proceeded to writhe in stomach pain and barf bile for the next 4 days. Never again.

Why do y'all lie like this every day on everything just to sound cool? First of all, even if it was true, you're talking about the years where the world was still normal and everything wasn't as fake as now so you saying that it just shows that you either trying to sound cool or your stomach is a pu*sy really. Guacamole is guacamole, nothing more, nothing less and unless the ingredients are rotten, they're not going to fu*k you up 🙄🤦🏽♂️.
Ah, Chipotle. $20 for a burrito that is 90% rice and beans.
Where is that? chicken burrito $8.75 in MSP.
@mprooveit3588 I see ppl always complaining about the prices, but they always hide the fact they get double meat, queso, and guac. I live in the Bay Area but still the avg price for a chicken burrito is usually 10~12$ depending on the city
Gotta love the entitled people who believe that they deserve 75 dollars worth of meat for $9 and then over exaggerate the price. You got to be a female or a guy that wants to be a female..
Your $20 burrito with triple meat and extra guac is 90% rice and beans?
Your math ain't mathing bro
Bullshit, a burrito is $9 and you can ask for less rice.
It's hard to get ecoli from a McDonalds burger that has nothing fresh about it.
@L-S-001thier actually a realestate company posing as food place. Look it up. Legally mcdonalds is legally a realestate company😮
But wendys is definitely fresh. I worked there. The beef is real. It's never frozen. It sits in a very cold fridge until you need it.
@L-S-001 All of you that say stuff like that has never worked in fast food. The food there and practices are a lot better than most of you that make your food at home. They usually have better quality fresh and frozen foods than any of you get from the grocery store. I don't even eat at peoples houses because most of you are nasty and cross contaminate.

No it's not you because none of y'all are getting sick off of it. Y'all just running around riding waves and trends trying to sound cool because for some reason this new world is obsessed with thinking that being a victim to something stupid makes them cool SMH. I hate to burst y'all's bubbles but just because you're mad that you don't deserve $80 worth of meat for $10 doesn't mean that it makes you sick just like Taco Bell doesn't make nobody sick for real. Y'all are crybabies and the fact that it's more and more guys acting like females these days too it just says that this country has absolutely no shot of actually being tough enough to take up for themselves in any situation because y'all are running around too busy trying to be 15 year old girls. These places wouldn't even be around if everybody got sick and if they didn't give enough portions dumba*s.

Never gotten sick from Chipotle.
not yet
Fr I've gotten sick more often at mom and pop places.
Nobody gets sick from Chipotle or taco bell, that's why they all still go there all the time. People in today's world are completely obsessed with believing that being a victim of something makes them cool. Just like I said with the taco bell, you can take that for instance, you can take the fact of the Kendrick and Drake beef in the fact that people are suddenly acting like they always listen to Kendrick or always think about deep things or always use their brain or don't support immorality every day of their lives. If you just watch people when they're talking sh*t about something, you will see that the majority of them are people that no one has ever seen have these problems and not only that but you will see that the majority of them are the same people that keep these people and places rich. You got people been eating at these places their whole lives and now all of the sudden they make them sick. This is one of the many consequences of single motherhood. All of them females doing whatever they want to and creating single mother households in raising their daughters to be just as stupid and equally as overdramatic and full of lies and raising their sons to be soft and entitled liars and crybabies like men aren't supposed to be raised. People think this is just talking trash but everything is more deep then just some big reason. Little things add up to big things.
I got sick when I see the prices of a burrito

Honestly Chipotle has never made me sick once. Taco Bell on the other hand...
That’s funny 😂 I’m actually the opposite. Never been sick from Taco Bell but everytime I get Chipotle I have a super upset stomach.
So I just stopped eating there. 😢
The taco bell didn’t make you sick. Your body might have been reacting to the oat flour because it is not used to eating healthy ingredients.
I received an email from Chipotle once saying I’m in the 3% top chipotle eaters. Never been sick from it.
Prices are absurd, they cancel every fun promotion like Halloween's booritos (Bogo) if you are wearing a costume.
They need to bring back 2017 Chipotle. Probably that Taco Bell CEO wrecking it from the top down.
More like they need to bring back 2005 Chipotle when there were only THREE in the greater Los Angeles area and they actually cared about service and quality. Back when everything was actually made fresh and if something was out, your order was free. And this was at the Beverly Center Chipotle.
Mind you, I used to get a double burrito w/ guacamole with a drink for only $8 then! And that was pricey at the time.
Everybody knows that Taco Bell makes you sick with the runs.
No surprise that they damaged Chipotle's food safety further! 😝
Used to love Chipotle, but they've gone downhill significantly in the past few years. We don't go there any more.
The final straw was a year or so ago. They were out of like half of the toppings, the tables were filthy, and the trash receptacles were overflowing onto the floor. We didn't get sick, but it just left such a negative impression that we haven't been back.
It's made me sick many times
Stopped going there a decade ago.

Never knew Kansas City got the first Chipotle outside of Colorado. I worked in restaurants in my youth and after seeing the range of back of the house from ultra clean and spot on safe food handling, to the owner pulling shriveled and gross green and red pepper pieces out of the trash for the marinara sauce, don’t eat at restaurants unless it’s a family gathering. Then I try to order the least likely to be poisoned or fell on the floor items as possible. Plus never eat the “Buck Night” $1 greydogs at a KC Royals Game. I say greydogs as they are technically hotdogs from Aramark, but they are grey in color and turn your poop purple.
What’s wrong with chipotle:
1.) insult to Mexican food
2.) they cook with seed oils
3.) taste is mid
4.) ingredients sit out in their nasty trough and get flies on them.
I'd like to see a video of the history of Qdoba.
Ah yes, I would love some Glock with my burrito, pile it on!

Sam Cobra here! We've been flooded with contaminated lettuce, and we have a hard time discarding it. We need to keep serving it so our people can stay happy!!!!!

Avoid the lettuce & maybe the sour cream. Support small restaurants
Lettuce is absolutely the main culprit. The way its rinsed in sus water at the 'factory' is asking for cross contamination.
Small restaurant also get you sick 😂 just depends on which ones
You can eat at chipotle and support small business. Lol, no logic to your post.
Small business or large it is still local people working there that need the pay.
Last time I went to Chipotle they were doing poor hygiene practices so I left in the middle of the order. Never going back.
This never happened.
Stop lying lmao
Don't like the food or prices.

I used to like Chipotle, but then the locations I frequent changed how they prepared their chicken, and it became gristly and bland. No idea what the hell is up with this brand.
This is why Eric Cartman invented the chipoltleaway
After I stopped working at Chipotle where I live (not because I disliked it, but because I moved), I remembered talking to a customer that had been going, and saying they would get sick sometimes after eating there. I asked them what they typically ate, and they said the chicken or the steak. My advice was, if they did not have an issue with pork, to try the carnitas. Sure enough, they had no problem with the carnitas. Turns out they had an intolerance to the adobo paste that is used to season the chicken and the steak. That stuff is delicious if you can stomach it, but it can be harsh on those with a sensitivity to it.
In other cases, when we had customers who complained that they had gotten sick, more like food poisoning, after eating at our Chipotle, all investigations turned up they had gotten sick from eating somewhere else before eating at our location, and we were simply the last place they ate at. There were various times while I was working there that there were lettuce and tomato recalls, but that affected entire areas of the city, not just us.
I myself have eaten at many different Chipotles, in different locations, for more than ten years and have never once gotten sick. Sadly, the barbacoa would probably give me heartburn now. Just way too much spice.
A lot of people correlate the place that made them sick with the last place they ate, not realizing that not all food based illnesses actually occur shortly, or even within a day, after eating something. Some can take 24 to 48 hours to show their effects.
I can make it better at home.
How much are you selling them for?
What, not gonna complain that a "Mexican Grill" isn't authentic pre-Columbian Olmec fare?
People say this and it’s never true
I'm sure I could too, but so many dishes, so much time.
@@udasai damn
I love Chipotle. Their food has never made me sick.
Literally everyone gets sick after eating Chipotle
Nah...
They get in too much of a hurry at ours. I finished half of it before I realized how raw the chicken was (I had been doing some drinking beforehand) but I didn't get sick thankfully. At another location I was served guacamole that felt like it was stabbing my mouth. I don't know if maybe fiberglass or metal got in there or if a chemical was causing it. It was really strange.
"Eat our food, now 95% e. coli free!" Yeah, no. I'll stick with Taco Bell.
They hired the Taco Bell CEO to fix it!
One of my co-workers had to leave his Taco Bell burrito to take care of other business (work lunch hour--you know how they sometimes are). When he returned, he had to call us all in to watch the maggots crawling out of the food. I've heard other reports of the same from elsewhere.
I'll just stick with making my own burritos and tacos. I know where they've been.

Qdoba is basically lunchables. It's a shame because I used to prefer Qdoba with their gumbo and queso, but they lost consistency and food quality.
Went to a Chipotle back in 2019 with a coworker. Watched an employee handle meat, veggies, and money all without wearing gloves in all of it's contaminated glory. Had a lot of fun reporting that one, lol.
Thank you! I'd probably say something right then and there, maybe the employee didn't know better but they really should have. Actually, whoever trained them should have taught them better
2015-2017 was about to be the end of Chipotle far as them outbreaks. People was coughing over food and not washing hands in washings and Oregon. Smh I don't eat Chipotle no more. I haven't ate there since 2015
Not a single thing is cleaned, ever
You wouldn’t know this unless you worked there, just odd speculation on your part. Kinda weird.
My location as soon as you walk in has this sour af smell lighting up the whole place. Also the food looks all dull and lackluster of color, sitting in a heat tray all day. Not to mention all the fruit flies flying around. Yuck.
Just Google "Chipotle Calgary Alberta Canada" and read all the reviews, place is filthy af, disgusting.

Did he just say that Chipotle isn't a health food place? 😂 I literally eat a salad with no rice or beans and double meat almost every day and I am getting leaner.
He claims the saturated fats from the meat are bad but I'd argue Chipotle would be healthier if they switched to cooking their meat in saturated fat instead of cheaper oils.
That's messed up! Cool video and info too! What about Beyond Juice or Jamba Juice
One of the few places where I personally know multiple people that have gotten food poisoning. It's crazy to me they are allowed to still operate.
Im honestly pretty shocked this is a thing. Ive always eaten from there without getting sick. Wtf?
i've never had chipotle, doesn't exist in my country, I do however remember the south park episode where they make a joke about how everyone loves chipotle but the bloody diarrhea you get from it afterwards is annoying. and that ep is from 2009 so that was already a well established thing by that point atleast
I got sick twice unfortunately
i worked at chipotle. i was a griller. the reason people get sick from chipotle is because the company hires teenagers who often times dont check the temps of the chicken or they lazily cook the chicken to keep up with peak hour
I've never gotten sick from Chipotle
Same. The quesadilla is great.
Same and I don't order it that much
Congratulations 🏆
Thank you for sharing that irrelevant piece of data. No one has ever said that everyone who eats at Chipotle gets sick. The majority of their customers do not get sick. That's not the issue.

There is a Chipotle one block from me. I've never been. In fact, I've never considered going. Until I saw this video, I hadn't thought of it in years.
Uhhhh.....so you didn't really tell us why Chipotle keeps making us sick. All of them are hygiene problems that the other fast food chains haven't had to deal with? I did appreciate the history of Chipotle but you didn't answer the question of the title.......
Sounds like they did.
I ate at a Chipotle one time in my life because that one time resulted in stomach issues. That was 20 years ago
I get wicked explosive diarrhea and stomach cramps within 20 minutes of eating there. Doesn’t matter what location I visit which sucks because I actually like their food I just don’t like spending 30 minutes in the toilet.

I live in eastern Iowa and we have a local place called Pancheros. They start with a dough ball that becomes your tortilla and it makes a huge difference. They also mix your burrito before wrapping it, they are far better then Chipotle.

Beats talking to them like a sane human being.
Sad thing is Chipotle bought from same place/places Qdoba's does in early 2010's to help the company's sick food issue but even when both companies now order from the same place Qdoba has gotten people less sick in this time, proving it is the way Chipotle has handled the food they get and poor management.
"Saturated fat is bad" is a myth. Even high sodium I think is largely overblown.
We used to consume 4-5 grams over a hundred years ago. Probably a decent amount of potassium in the typical bowl to balance out the sodium, more so if you the guacamole.
They just need to switch from using so much bran oil, to something more stable. Still better than plenty of other "fast food" options.
I'd eat there more if they switched oils. Or, I was more active. Hard to justify getting the tortilla and rice if you don't plan doing a ton of physical activity.
edit: Just looked at the fat profile for rice bran oil. Thought it was worse than it was. Do also wonder about the phytic acid content.
There shouldn't even be oil in any of it. It's rice, beans, salsa and Mexican style meat. Mexicans don't fry their meat.
It's not a myth and hundreds of years ago people had to actually hunt for their food and sprint everywhere, of course 4-5g of sodium isn't bad when you're sweating that much.
In modern day unless you're a marathon runner, you do not need to consume that much sodium.
@@Digger-Nick its a myth.
Good point about sodium & exericse. Still think it's overblown. So long as your kidney function is in a certain optimal range.

ngl as an ex chipotle employee i used to give people way less portions if theyd order a burrito, especially if it was a double wrap. its not funny when a tortilla rips, or when youre wrapping up soup bc the customer ordered extra of every sauce inside the burrito. on the other hand, if you ordered a bowl or got your sauces on the side id load it tf up as a sign of respect

And I still know people who say "chip-ol-tee".

I’d rather have Qdoba, free guac and queso on entrees and no high profile outbreaks. Plus I feel the prices are a bit more reasonable for what you get.
There's a Chipotle building going up near me. I think it's been under construction a couple years. It has a sign that says "coming in summer, 2024." It's now almost Halloween, 2024, and the place is far from ready. 2. I tried Chipotle years ago, never went back after the guacamole burned my mouth and I simply threw it away. 3. I avoid food labelled local, natural or organic. It's too likely to have been fertilized with manure, etc, and it gives me diarrhea. I doubt that Chipotle's food-poisoning problems were caused by employees.
0:12 Chipotle’s stock is at an all time high. This video is immediately discredited as COMPLETE MISINFORMATION. 🤣🧢
I used to work at Chipotle and they wouldn’t let anyone leave work when they were sick, even when people were throwing up they begged them to stay or threatened to cut their hours if they left, sometimes having the person work in between shifts of throwing up. It was gross and a terrible place to work.

I eat here rarely. We've never been sick. But i did visit one in Florida where the sneeze guards were gone and the employee sneezed. They remade the order but i filled a complaint. The dm offered me a few meal and meet me at the store where all guards were back in place!
I got sick every time I ate at Chipotle long before the high profile outbreaks and gave up on it. Even before then, it wasn't worth the cost, so I always wonder why so many people keep going there.
My town has two really great locally owned Mexican restaurants. One is high end with a very traditional and authentic menu, and the other is a simple Taqueria style place. We just had a Chipotle move in right across from the high end place. Locals aren't terribly excited for it, but we are in a high tourism area, so unfortunately Chipotle is likely going to draw business away from the local places.
Personally, never got into Chipotle. But if I'm gonna get a fast-casual burrito, I'm going to Freebirds.
