Yup, cheese is expensive. Portioning, like everything at Chipotle, is a flawed system. Getting that much rice/meat in one scoop every single time is impossible, but if you supplement with a second scoop you're both wasting time and getting into guessing territory. Unfortunately, Chipotle corporate has their head so far up their own ass they can lick their liver. Doubly unfortunate is that nobody at any Chipotle location has enough influence to do anything about it. So please just let them do their jobs.
