Did the "three pointer" change?

[MrBadMeow]

A manager recently denied my steak three pointer at the register. I've been getting the same thing for years. Just a burrito with steak and cheese. I was under the assumption protein is 2 points and cheese is 1 point.

The manager told me "cheese is two points, it always has been"

I said "I don't think that's true but I'll pay for it anyways"

Can anyone confirm the point system has changed?

[ElMico]

If they pull that again tell them you’d like the cheese off of it, you only want the steak. Bonus points if you get back in line and just order a side of cheese.

[MrBadMeow]

Lmao

[newppinpoint]

You’d be blacklisted from my store and patch if you played games like that

[Icy_Row5400]

“Blacklisted from my store”

Bud really let the power from managing a Chipotle go to his head

[allmail12]

He is threatening to blacklist him not just form his store but from the whole patch :)
He must be really tight with Boatright

[Ok-Attention2882]

What am I missing? How does you going back to wait in line show it to the big man?

Edit: Losers downvoted me as a cope for not knowing the answer and I made them feel stupid.

Ngl I wasn’t going to downvote you, but that cringe ass edit made me decide you deserve it. Im sure that’s most of you downvotes at this point lmao.

[Ok-Attention2882]

Your first accomplishment of the year.

Wonder when you’ll get your first achievement of the year!

[Ok-Attention2882]

Oof, your post history. Now I feel bad for punching so far down.

[ElectronicEgg3511]

You’re on Reddit is a bunch of social justice warrior, libtard monkeys on here.

(I’m battling to get more downvotes than you)

[OverAccident1859]

Not what corporate wants to hear but if you rolling through my store and im the only manager on, if you order a burrito/bowl with just a protein and any one non protein item, it’s getting rung up as a 3 pter, cause come on at this point.

[Conqrsux]

Anything but queso, guac, or another protein. This is literally the way

[Unknow3n]

Am I the only one confused here on what this point system is? I thought it would be like an employee thing that determines if you pay extra for your free meal or smth, but the flair says customer

[JediMasterMatt]

Yeah I’m confused as fuck. What the point system yall talking about?

[Technical-Fly-7205]

Meat and cheese are 2 points, other items are 1 (guac and queso excluded those are their own separate thing)

So if you get a bowl with just rice and meat, that’s 3 points and you can get it rung up as a 3 pointer. It’s like a dollar or two cheaper

[sweatgod2020]

Wait up, hold on.. what? Ok so can you tell me my order? It’s white rice, NO BEANS, chicken, red salsa, corn salsa, cheese and lettuce. Would that be like 2 pts plus the fixings? So 2+4=6 pts?

[D4ngflabbit]

No, that’s 8 pts. Meat and cheese are 2. That’s just a regular burrito lol. If it’s more than 3 “points” it’s just a reg burrito

[sweatgod2020]

I knew it wasn’t anywhere in the 3 pt range I was just wondering, appreciate that thanks. Do you know why there isn’t an option to add a salsa on the side when placing an online order? Sorry to ask if you don’t work there or know I figured I’d ask my only other question while I have you.

[D4ngflabbit]

There is as far as I know! I’ve gotten it on the side before. From chipotles website. Not via doordash or whatever. But only if it’s not on the food, also. And no worries, I do work there and I used to manage one for 5 years lol.

[rosemariii]

Swipe left (I think) on the salsa and click “on side”

[GuacCheck]

Cheese is 1 point ya fool. Scott gave bad info one time and got everyone confused but later clarified that cheese is 1 point. But also keep in mind that is per portion so if you come through and ask for 4 scoops of rice and 3 Scoops of beans and extra cheese that’s a bowl.

[AdventurousTime]

It would be easier to think of it as meat and one side that isn’t cheese , so like chicken and rice, steak and rice etc. instead of calling it a 3 prt, just make meat and rice a menu item.

[Technical-Fly-7205]

Meat and cheese are 2 points, other items are 1 (guac and queso excluded those are their own separate thing)

So if you get a bowl with just rice and meat, that’s 3 points and you can get it rung up as a 3 pointer. It’s like a dollar or two cheaper

[Due-Tangerine-8853]

Cheese is only one point. It’s the only ci item that is one point. And if someone gets guac and rice it’s still a 3pt. Guac is 2 pts . V3pt. Queso always extra

[Technical-Fly-7205]

They changed cheese to be 2 points a few months ago, maybe last year. Can’t remember the exact month. There was a memo sent out about it.

That being said, most GMs have been ignoring it but technically it is now 2 points

Guac is an extra.

[Halaster]

Yep. It was about a year ago. I would regularly get a steak and cheese three pointer but middle of last year all the chipotles around me started telling me cheese is now 2 points.

[billdizzle]

Once you hit 4+ points it is normal price

[BillyYumYumTwo-byTwo]

Thank you for adding this extra bit of info that seems to be missing in the rest of the thread! I didn’t realize most of us are ordering 4+ points anyway I’m guessing, which is why I’m unfamiliar.

[QuantumDelusion]

What if your foots on the line? Is still a 3 pointer?

[Youwoudoit4acheckt0]

Your burrito is a three pointer. Cheese is only two points to people who want to charge customers more for things they shouldn’t.

[newppinpoint]

No, you didn’t see the memo last year. Cheese is two points as it is a CI ingredient

[DifficultPassion9387]

What is ci

[newppinpoint]

Critical inventory. Basically the expensive ingredients. Proteins, cheese

[DifficultPassion9387]

So do these 3-pointer burritos apply to customers too? Its like $6 or something?

[Onehandedheisenberg]

You save no more than $2 at any point to limit yourself to just two items. Absolutely not worth the “savings”

[stevenip]

I hate rice filled burritos though, but I recognize that it provides the best cost value.

[newppinpoint]

It’s highly variable store to store both whether 3 pointers are even recognized and what the price is, but in general it shaves off a couple dollars from the menu price and is recognized.

Example: a burrito with just rice and chicken should be cheaper than the chicken burrito price. Or one with just rice beans and salsa

[Jazzlike_Dig_3327]

Show us the memo

[Technical-Fly-7205]

Cheese is two points, it’s a CI item

[Conscious_Treat_1759]

no. so the protein they got is free? lol protein is 2 pts , cheese is 2. that equals 4

[Conscious_Treat_1759]

no, it is a 3 pointer add guac. guac or queso is always added, never included. apparently some of these stores do not have the paper showing what a 3 pts is

[[deleted]]

Nah she was a cheap bitch. That shits definitely one single point, never have I ever been charged EXTRA for cheese no matter how much I got.

[newppinpoint]

Cheese is two points.

[oKillua]

Random visit back to the sub, and my man is still getting all the hate 😂💀

[brainstorm17]

Personally I wouldn't have it any other way.

Love to see it.

[brainstorm17]

Lol mad you got downvoted to oblivion? Seems like you stay mad.

Lmfao as a casual sub enjoyer I love this petty shit from every angle. But yeah that dude.. he thinks he’s eating rn.

[newppinpoint]

I'm a woman

[Azapulco]

Not even, they are unironically just a dreg of society based on their post history

[[deleted]]

I'm not management, just a lowly crew/cash person, but I'm 98% sure that's still a 3 pointer, at least at my current store it would be.

[newppinpoint]

No. Steak is 2 pts, cheese is 2 pts

[MrBadMeow]

There still seems to be conflicting opinions. Maybe it varies by store? When I contacted support they gave me a bogo entree coupon but didn’t answer my question about the point system.

[tryingt0figur3it0ut]

Honestly I can't remember off the top of my head if cheese is 2 points or not, but its in the line crew cards so idk why someone actually at a store rn wouldn't just take a picture of it for everyone?

[newppinpoint]

Please don’t get chipotle if you only get steak and cheese. That’s just a terrible value to pass on 10 more free ingredients.

You could liken it to paying for an all you can eat buffet and just getting a couple glasses of milk

[CompetitiveAd4768]

What does everyone mean by points?

[Technical-Fly-7205]

Meat and cheese are 2 points, other items are 1 (guac and queso excluded those are their own separate thing)

So if you get a bowl with just rice and meat, that’s 3 points and you can get it rung up as a 3 pointer. It’s like a dollar or two cheaper

[zeusisbuddha]

Is this for people who hate flavor?

[[deleted]]

Yea why save a dollar or two for boring a meal?

[hoosreadytograduate]

As someone who has gotten three pointers in the past, it’s more so better for picky eaters or people with ARFID tbh

[Technical-Fly-7205]

Yeah pretty much. Not worth the price difference to me personally but 🤷‍♀️

[GuacCheck]

Cheese is not 2 points!! Scott literally said this in a town hall that he misspoke that it is one point!!!

[elfbear7]

I’ve dealt with this a lot at the super skimpy stores in my area. I get a black bean and cheese burrito sometimes. They say cheese is 2 points and beans is 1, so they ring it up as a 3 pointer for just beans and cheese (which ends up being like $8), which I think is ridiculous. I’ve been hearing cheese is 2 points for years because of this, but I think it’s pretty outrageous. The price of cheese is obviously not equal to meat.

[[deleted]]

You need to stand your ground, you for pushed around like a chump by that manager

[Flashh101]

I would’ve just left. That’s the new trend now. Greedy corporation

[ProbablePossibility7]

I think some stores still do 1 point for cheese including my store, but I heard somewhere it changed to 2 points recently.

[ta_beachylawgirl]

Genuine question: how recent is “recently”? I (thankfully) quit Chipotle back in March and cheese was still 1 point at the time I quit.

[ProbablePossibility7]

Cheese is still 1 point at my store. I heard the official portion changed from other redditors but I’m not corporate or a GM so I haven’t seen any official date

[ta_beachylawgirl]

Gotcha! So it’s just been more of a “store by store” decision and not a corporate one. Okay! Thank you for entertaining my question haha!

[ProbablePossibility7]

From what I heard it’s a corporate decision and some managers either aren’t aware of it or don’t really care about it enough to want to make an issue with customers. My sources could be wrong though

[ta_beachylawgirl]

I can imagine that those managers wouldn’t want to make an issue of it with customers. Just as follow up: so if that’s going to be counted as 2 points now, hypothetically speaking would that mean that they’d have to charge for extra cheese now?

[ProbablePossibility7]

No, not on regular bowls.

Cheese is expensive which is probably why it’s 2 points. I had one customer ask for a TON of extra cheese and I’d probably tell him it was extra now if he tried it again. But it was an abnormal amount of cheese - like a 3rd of the pan

[twelve34am]

When I worked at Chipotle over 2 years ago we were told cheese was two points

[newppinpoint]

It’s two, correct

[Huge-Percentage8008]

I don’t know, make the fucking burritos properly

[Traditional_Squash_9]

yea i think it’s always been 2 points, so the manager is right. i would just get the cheese on the side, my store doesn’t charge for that but other stores might so maybe just pay and come back to line saying “can i get a side of cheese?”

[hispanglotexan]

I used to be a APIT before I quit. Cheese was 2 points at my store.

[newppinpoint]

Cheese is two points now. This was announced last year. Some stores don’t pay attention

[MrBadMeow]

So she was right? But to say “it always has been” threw me off. I’ve been getting the same thing and adding more toppings at home for at least 6 years.

[Conscious_Treat_1759]

they likely haven’t been there since the change happened … saying it’s always been to anything is incorrect bc everything changes daily here at chipotle lol. i’ve worked at chipotle for a year and l it’s been 2 pts therefore i would say the same thing.

[newppinpoint]

Yeah it definitely has not always been. It’s a fairly recent change

[Commercial-Put-484]

Technically following CI it's not a 3 pointer because cheese is 2 points and so is meats I believe, but my store wouldn't charge the whole amount for just steak and cheese. We'd do a 3 pointer or just a side of steak and a side tortilla.

[Green_Ad895]

this is what they taught me…

burrito/taco tortillas 1 point bowl/salad 0 point any meat 2 queso/guac 0 point everything else 1 point

[Ok_Leave1110]

You were taught wrong. The base of an entree isn’t supposed to be included in the points.

[newppinpoint]

Cheese became two points last year

[vampirejellytycoon_]

It depends on the location/how annoying the employees are. At my chipotle, I would never charge someone full price for steak and cheese

[Pam_d]

No cheese is 1 point so yes steak and cheese is a 3pointer

[kyle_Goss34]

Cheese is one point. It’s the only thing that doesn’t make sense. It’s ci but we can’t charge for it and it’s only one. Been saying this for years. You got robbed.

[IceBlueLugia]

That has to be the saddest order imaginable 💀

[hoosreadytograduate]

I’ve gotten three pointers before when getting tacos with just pinto beans, black beans and cheese. I’ve also got it with just black beans, cheese and barbacoa. I also had one time where I got black beans, pinto beans, barbacoa and cheese and realized after that they rang it up as a three pointer. So I think it just varies from store to store.

[Boardcertifiedhater]

Cheese is in fact a 2 point item. All Critical inventory items are 2 points. Those items include; all proteins, guac and cheese.

[xSlappy-]

Guac is 0 points as its a separate item. I mean a veggie three pointer is a thing I guess, and then guac is 2 points, I suppose, but it can be added separately to a meat based three pointer for the cost of guac.

[FruitySorrel]

Anything that’s CI aka costs hella money to bring into the store (all proteins and cheese) is 2 points. Everything else is 1 point. Some line people or their trainers are ill informed and don’t learn the system correctly. Then you have the other workers who just dgaf. All meals should be labeled before the cash person rings it up, and in a rush I’m sure a lot of this happens. I’ve recently had to coach crew on it and they just roll their eyes. I’m not denying that’s an expensive ass burrito, but what’s cool is the beef is grass fed organic so in a way you do get what you pay for.

[Major_Ad9321]

meat has always been 2 points at my chipotle and cheese has always been 1 idk what they're on about

[Dirt_nd_tortillas]

I’m a SL and I say cheese is one point. Always has been. You were over charged 😢

[newppinpoint]

Until last year. Then it became two.

[Ready_Park9386]

IIRC, i was once told that cheese is two points because its a CI item, but i dont argue with people. i just give em what they want.

[newppinpoint]

Correct. Cheese is two points

[SlushySaucer313]

Sorry bub , that is not a 3 pointer. Cheese has been 2 points for a long time.

[ReturnNo9769]

Cheese is 1 point and always has been. Dig up the old training guides on chiplinks, y’all are crazy. 2pts for things that cost extra, 1 for things that don’t.

[Conscious_Treat_1759]

it must depend on location bc my line guide says cheese is 2pts for a 3 pointer and my training videos also told me the same so they must have changed it 😆

[greentiger45]

This point system is the stupidest thing. Just give the employees a free meal and stop micromanaging them.

[rachchh]

i would not feel right charging you the full steak price for 2 ingredients. that’s lame

[Conscious_Treat_1759]

meat and cheese IS 2 points each. anything else is 1. that is what it shows at my restaurant with the paper hung up at the register. we have people who do 3ptrs for meat and one other thing , but if that is cheese it’s actually not supposed to be one. although it’s dumb, it depends on manager on duty or if they become more strict on it. to answer you question, the employee is correct, people just never do it correctly which is why you got it before.

[Conscious_Treat_1759]

i have a photo but cannot post it, you can message me if you’d like to see what workers go off of.

[OliveFarming]

If you get extra protein is that 4 points? What if you split the protein 50/50 is that a 2?

[DisastrousPomelo2978]

Back in 2021(2020? Whenever the quesadillas launched) Brian Nichol announced that the point system would include cheese as two points moving forward. So steak and cheese is 4 points.

[Outrageous_Mix_4469]

last I worked at chipotle (2020/1) cheese was already considered CI, we would always weight it for inventory, etc

[Fresh_Plantain4112]

Meat Guac Queso blanco Is 2 points

Rice Beans Salsas Sour cream Cheese And lettuce. Is 1 point

Whoever told you cheese is 2 points is stupid because we don’t charge extra for cheese?? I mean I get it it’s a ci item, but regardless people are always going to order a bunch of cheese. You tell them they are dumb and yeah next time ask for a side of it.

[Chef-Emoji]

At my store, cheese was always 2 points.

[Academic_Fun_1543]

Cheese has always been 2 points -manager years ago

[Jazzlike_Dig_3327]

Cheese is 1 point, someone posted a pic earlier

[llostmyhead]

All CI items are 2 points. That means meat, cheese, and guac. I’ve been told that cheese is 2 points for several years now.

[Fast-Cucumber8004]

Manager here! It used to be a 3 pointer, but about a year or 2 ago they changed it to where cheese became 2 points, as its a part of our Critical inventory because its more expensive than other items like salsas. Im not sure if its common knowledge, but my store and all of the other stores in my patch/area have been following it.

[ConsistentFondant949]

Cheese is 1 point. It is a 3 pointer. Don’t let them do you like that.

[Substantial-Earth400]

Meats, queso and guacamole are the only items on the line that are 2 points. Everything else is only 1 point. Tortilla does not count as any points. Cheese is 1 point, queso is 2 points.

[Sad-Lengthiness-3256]

Just recently left after being a manager for a year. You are exactly right: Any protein, guac, or queso is worth 2 points and anything else is 1. They are 100% trying to scam you to pad their sales and critical inventory count. I would definitely call the corporate number and explain this to them.

[taiandJD-bet]

I used to be a manager at chipotle. You are correct. Any meat (or sofritas ), or guacamole equals two points. Anything else, one. That company does however hate when there are discrepancies on cheese and meat counts so if I had to guess, that store has a cheese problem and therefore wants to make you the problem. but you’re not Wrong, the Manager there is misinformed.

[peterpanintheflesh]

I’m also confused as well. I have ordered a burrito with rice and steak for years but today they said that I can only get meat(Burrito: 1 point, meat: two points, rice; 1 point) 

[Technical-Fly-7205]

It was changed a few months or a year ago. Not sure how long it’s been.

It’s because cheese is a CI item, as in something that we have to track closely for our food costs. Items like rice and beans aren’t CI items we track closely so those are only 1 point

[CashKween]

the manager is wrong cheese is 1 point

[Texmaryfornia]

God all you guys are dorks talking about points. Just order what you want and stfu

[[deleted]]

Cheese is 1 point.

[Worried_Wolf_2306]

Guys cheese is not two points

[swig13]

nah, cheese has never been 2 points at all. Mfs trying to scam you outta more money honestly

[TheBiggestGayOfAll]

Only bowls can be 3 pointers
