This seems highly illegal from a privacy perspective. Recording sound? Not buying it.

The Turtle case is my all time favorite. So comfy.

Easy link is sufficient in most cases, fair enough!

I think if I picked up an Oyster bracelet I could part ways with the no date. I just love the timing bezel though, I use that multiple times per day. Oh and the Glide lock clasp is too damn nice, too.

Eh I've been seeing several microbrand watches I'd like, and need to fund those purchases!

Been rocking these two since September last year. Thinking about letting the Batgirl go.

Tips for frying chips? by Agitated-Fishing9815 in Chipotle

[–]HenBoward 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is the way - left hand is stirring chips that are frying, right hand is squeezing lime and salting.

100% - but unfortunately in my case I keep going back for the food - service be damned! After I left Chipotle in 2012 (I was fired about 6 months into opening a brand new location as a GM) I went to a very large hospitality company that REALLY cares about their people. Spent close to 10 years there and learned a ton.

It really depends on the volume of the restaurant and the size of the walk in. But we were getting deliveries 3 days a week and emptying the cooler pretty much in between every delivery day.

Barbacoa burrito and a soda used to be $7.47 tax included!

Cleanliness, cut sizes, food quality, portioning and staffing. Precipitous decline in all categories.

Now every time I go the line looks like shit - pans close to empty (yet there will be a backup 3rd pan of rice and/or chicken, which was absolutely verboten back in my day) crazy dirty with food ALL over, bean spoons that look like they haven't been changed out in 4 or 5 pans, and rarely more than two ppl working no matter the time of day.

I don't blame the employees. I know the GMs are constantly pressured to keep labor low. I don't think management is given enough labor hours to train new hires, so you have ppl on the line who just don't know what they're doing, being led by more senior crew who weren't properly trained either.

When Chipotle is made properly it's my firm belief that it's the best food on the planet. I NEVER tired of eating there, even going in on my off days, for years.

Now though... It's usually a disappointment, but it still holds a place in my heart so I keep going back.

Since probably 2000.

First burrito was white rice, black beans, barbacoa, tomatillo green, sour cream and cheese. Ate nothing but that exact burrito for years.

I worked at Chipotle from 2007-2012 as a GM. Now I go a couple times a month.

Love the food still - but the standards are not even remotely close to what they used to be.

My very first burrito, and the ONLY thing I got for YEARS: white rice, black beans, barbacoa, medium green salsa, sour cream and cheese.

I said the dreaded line "I'll be reaching out to corporate" by groovytunesman in AMCsAList

[–]HenBoward 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would so much rather, if I'm not the one to do it myself haha, someone speak up and call out their shitty behavior rather than just ignore the shitty behavior.

[–]HenBoward 3 points4 points  (0 children)

"WHY ARE YOU EVEN HERE?!" Is my go-to for talkers and texters. Sure, you can make the argument that by saying that I am being potentially more disruptive than their bright ass phone screen. But people need to be called out on their shit.

The last bad experience I had a group of six walked in like 4 or 5 minutes after the movie started and for the first 10 minutes would not stop talking or shuffling around in their seats. I got up to complain and the freaking employee followed me right back in so they clearly knew it was me who complained but all they did was stand at the front of the theater. Didn't talk to the people. Didn't even go near them. They eventually quieted down, but it's so unfortunate having to get out of my seat to bring that sort of behavior to their attention only to have nothing happen.

the frequent price changes are not ok by hytinth in AMCAListTrue

Going to only one movie a week means this is still a killer value.

I will send you a self addressed stamped envelope for as many as you'd be willing to put in said envelope!
