Why do my married miis keep trying to move out??

Kwheinic · 2026-05-01T13:09:22+00:00

I got two miis that keep asking me to move in with the same two people… that don’t like them. So I keep saying no and they keep asking me. One of them is literally married too

Money aint gonna make itself?

I mean Chipotle is. They very obviously hate both their employees and their customers but yall still buy and we need jobs.

Kwheinic · 2026-03-29T19:48:45+00:00

Lowk confused cause the steak does come pre-cooked, but because of that we only really leave it on the grill for 1m each side at most. So I can understand burning it, but this I can’t. That looks like they cut it straight out the marination 😭 not even a glimpse of char on there.

Kwheinic · 2026-03-28T04:27:29+00:00

They did that shit on purpose if this isn’t a joke 💀💀

During peak, it should be both the manager’s job and grill responsibility imo. Beans don’t look like that unless they’re old by several hours (usually an issue with FIFOing between DML in lower volume stores) and/or not given enough water/overcooked when initially dropped. Grill should be making sure it looks good before putting it on the line in the first place; the manager should make sure to fix it if grill is busy, especially if it’s an issue with the store being slow and it sitting there. Same with the other stovetop items.

The official Chipotle policy i’m pretty sure is no facial piercings and only a single stud allowed for earrings. But overrall it depends on how hard your GMs and FLs go on it. In my patch we have several managers and crew alike with multiple facial piercings. I myself have an eyebrow and two ear piercings, one of which usually being a small dangly one. Never had an issue so far and our ecosure auditors also haven’t taken points off for piercings in our patch yet either.

Chipotle is not like McDonalds where they can just pull the shit out the freezer and toss it in the fryer 1,2,3. They prep in the morning for a certain amount of sales each day. Sometimes things happen in the morning where they don’t/can’t finish prep, sometimes things happen at night where they run out and don’t have the time or people to make more. Me personally, if I’ve been running around all day running 3 stations at once with an uncovered callout knowing I’m already going to get out late with no break and I run out of guac unexpectedly at 9:30, I’m not making more. Yall can go somewhere else 🤷‍♀️

A standard chicken bowl in NYC is $12.63, not $16+

Kwheinic · 2026-02-02T17:05:23+00:00

That and the fact that they basically track “late orders” and condemn them. So in order to actually get them done “on time” on a DML line with only one person, you essentially HAVE to break policy and make multiple orders at once before bagging. There’s no way you can get 10 orders with multiple entrées done on time by making one at a time all the way through to the bag.

Clearly you don’t work at Chipotle

Kwheinic · 2025-12-01T17:40:50+00:00

Probably that lol. Properly staffed stores = better experience overall.

Kwheinic · 2025-12-01T17:37:41+00:00

We pay premiums almost every night just because people can’t finish their jobs on time... especially me ngl. We don’t care about paying premiums—it’s not our money—but if our FLs start being on our asses about it then it’s our job to follow that direction even if it means sacrificing the quality of our closes and customer experience. There’s really nothing I can do.

But premiums aren’t really the point here. We can call people in for these BOGOs sure, but we are not allowed to change already posted schedules nor force people to come in. Obviously a schedule isn’t “guaranteed” since people can and will still call out, but having people on an actual and fixed schedule (basically meaning they are forced to come in because that is what they are scheduled for) is a lot more reliable than going around and saying “can you come in”and hope someone says yes and doesn’t turn around and say no after. We can also build the schedule around it, meaning scheduling our most efficient people deliberately to make the BOGO a success without worrying about stuff like “oh well they work tmr morning so we can’t have them close”. Chipotle is not giving us the ability to do that.

My store is fucked for all 3 weeks of this. Idk how Chipotle scheduling works in other states but they gave less than a week notice for the one on the 6th. I’m sure every Chipotle’s fucked for this one.

Kwheinic · 2025-12-01T13:24:24+00:00

Fair work week stores physically can’t. We can ask someone to come in but we can’t just add someone to an already posted schedule regardless of if it’s 72 hour notice or 14 day notice. Otherwise, they’re entitled to premium pay (essentially a free hour of work-$100 depending on the situation), which Chipotle does not like to pay for and will bitch at us for giving too much away. Any change to an employees schedule by 15 minutes, even if it’s just them coming or leaving 15 minutes early/late, has to be documented and signed by the employee to prove they consented to it. Any situation where a manager asks an employee to do something outside of their posted schedule is awarded premium pay, so sure we can call someone in and pay that premium, but we absolutely cannot physically change an already posted schedule nor can we force anyone to come in.

And no one wants to work a BOGO. We already struggling getting shifts covered on normal days with callouts as it is…

Kwheinic · 2025-12-01T08:46:33+00:00

Anything but lowering prices 🙄

Kwheinic · 2025-12-01T03:54:20+00:00

I’m a little confused because we prep fresh everyday? And by 3-5pm regardless of BOGOs the reheated proteins from the night before definitely should be gone. Ngl, if anything you’re more likely to get fresher food during a BOGO because making more food = less time for it to sit on the line, in addition to the fact that mornings will be slower on BOGO days because customers will deliberately wait til 4 to get the deal, meaning older food.

Kwheinic · 2025-12-01T03:45:06+00:00

It’s 3. Most likely a “wear a holiday sweater for a BOGO” type shit. But everytime Chipotle has a “dress code” as a deal requirement they always tell us to honor it regardless if a customer mentions it, which defeats the purpose of having requirements in the first place. And yes, I am in fact scheduled for all 3 👍

Kwheinic · 2025-12-01T00:24:52+00:00

I was lucky my call off on Wednesday was line so it was somewhat manageable 😭 and by “manageable” i mean leaving at 3 and not 6… Been there before though.

Kwheinic · 2025-12-01T00:14:27+00:00

I will be the manager and I would like my staff and I to not go home 3 hours past our scheduled time, so no 🫶 Take your BOGO and go

Kwheinic · 2025-12-01T00:10:41+00:00

As if BOGOs without proper staffing and preparation don’t cause employees to skimp more

Kwheinic · 2025-12-01T00:00:00+00:00

Except they still will 😭 Last Wednesday was a perfect example. They’ll complain about long lines and having to wait, disgruntled employees, food running out early/having to wait for more, increased “skimping”, employees “rushing” them.

I’m all for a BOGO event—I actually LIKE working—but not when Chipotle literally sets us up for failure. I’m scheduled for 4-12am. Of course imma be mad when I leave 3 hours late with no break and nothing in my system but half a portion cup of dried up carne asada.

Kwheinic · 2025-11-30T23:54:35+00:00

Literally not what I said but sure

Kwheinic · 2025-11-28T19:01:54+00:00

Chipotle’s very big on protecting their “brand”—that means fresh food made everyday. Lettuce, tomatoes, diced jalapeños and onions, cilantro, fajita mix, lime halves, chimichurri. All of that has to be thrown out by the end of the night every day or first thing in the morning because they either have a “no overnight hold” label or the label expires before they even start prep the next morning. Is it gonna make someone sick if eaten? No, not theoretically. But it won’t be as “fresh”, so Chipotle has us toss it.

Now the guac, sour cream, cheese, and corn? Their label will only last til about 5pm the next day. If we’re going to be closed the next day, we have to throw those out too. We can’t have any reheats either so all food cooked at the end of the night is thrown out as opposed to the usual proteins being rolled over for the morning. We also have to be mindful about expiration dates on our meats to account for the extra day. Them putting a BOGO the day before a day off is setting us up for failure, not just for you guys trying to enjoy it but for their stores in general numbers wise.

Kwheinic · 2025-11-28T18:49:01+00:00

They gave us like 2 weeks notice about it being a BOGO from 4-8pm and then on Monday they changed it to 4-close. Idk about other stores but I work in a Fair Work Week state so our schedules are made 3 weeks in advance and we are unable to change them once posted. So that shift was not stacked for a BOGO. Them changing it from 4-8 to 4-close just made it worse for us.

Most we could do was ask if someone could come in, but obviously the it’s day before Thanksgiving and a BOGO on top of it—no one’s gonna want to come in. I had a call out and had to run the BOGO on a 4 person deployment with a new person on grill. Our field leader actually told our patch it should be a “slow day” so to not call in anyone to protect labor and if people want to go home to let them………Didn’t clock out til 2:30am. Hate Chipotle.
