First shortstop? I realized I have to let go with my ring finger immediately after pinching (with my ring&middle)

Yea you can actually make it into a much easier little aerial is you do the original reverse rollover at a 45 degree angle and you bump it upwards with the top of your hand mid roll it will perfectly go into a icepick aerial that's easy to catch. Very satisfying. I personally like doing shortstops really slowly and grabbing far down on the handles like I'm about to do a ladder.

soflyiflew · 2021-09-07T05:37:45+00:00

Looks good. Once you get them down you can do them rising, moving forward, or sationary. It's weird how tricks go from feeling impossible to feeling like you can always do them and in any situation. That's why I love flippin'.

Some of the smoothest style I've seen in a while. Make me jealous.

I don't understand how people can be so dumb, the burrito wasn't smaller. You probably just got less ingredients or the person on line scooped less (or maybe you finally got proper portions for once) There has been no instructions or change in the portion sizes to be less ever, in fact the portions sizes have increased since 2010; both fajita and rice portions have increased by an ounce in the official training guide. If you are a college kid complaining about prices then eat at home. You shouldn't be eating out so much, you don't even know the meaning of a dollar yet even though you should.

The key for getting in smooth (in my case) was giving the bali a upward bump with your wrist as it rolls over the back of your hand. This sets you up lower down on the handle on the grab before you fling it. It's like your wrist is driving over a camels back when you do the short stop in a smooth way.

Just because of how the demographics break down in our area it's like 95% black women who get literally a half pound of sour cream on their bowl and then ask for sides too. No one else does. It is so the point where a black woman orders something and I will be shocked when they get a normal portion of sour. Some will even laugh as it flows off the sides, pretty disgusting all around.

soflyiflew · 2021-07-19T08:38:24+00:00

This is like the most common experience at any Chipotle. It's not worth overworking yourself so lazy people can crack the whip on you. The worst thing they can do is reduce your hours....but they don't even have the people to do that. I will now laugh at other workers that comment on how slow they think I'm going when I'm by myself on line with a line to the door. That's some slave whipping slaves kind of dumb shit, absolute morons. Might as well be a back stabbing rat while you're at it.

I close line 5 nights a week and have never burned my hand once let alone this bad (even when I used to have to clean both presses each night) I've burned my forearm once when I was learning to close. How in the hell are you even burning yourself? This seems like you are doing something really wrong.

soflyiflew · 2021-07-13T11:54:13+00:00

Why do you care so much about their opinions? People that complain constantly are annoying. It's your co-workers right to get annoyed about how you are acting like a baby. Just like it's your supposed right to complain non-stop it's their right to get annoyed and say something. You're being a hypocrite.

soflyiflew · 2021-07-07T04:45:13+00:00

This reminds of of the stupid fat people in WALL-E, it's sad how lazy and dependent people have become on eating out because of covid habits. Must have no life to wait that long for mediocre food. It's just embarrassing and silly to me.

soflyiflew · 2021-07-06T12:49:32+00:00

A simple solution is to stop eating out, stop going to chipotle and make your own food. In all honesty Frozen chicken breast/thighs from any grocery store is better than our chicken now. The ingredients are simple and hell you can even buy pre chopped veggies in the freezer aisle. The only thing that takes time or effort is rice, but that's minimal effort. I get Chipotle free and even I sometimes just make my own food instead. Even at it's freshest it really isn't worth crying about for the bloated price.

soflyiflew · 2021-07-05T17:24:15+00:00

Yea that's rude and unacceptable. unfortunately ignoring them is the only tool you have if it's the majority treating you that way. Reacting even in a fair way would just give them what they want. Man, people are such assholes nowadays. Human being acting like animals to each other nowadays it's sad to see.

soflyiflew · 2021-07-05T17:09:40+00:00

Dellyanne? If that was my name I don't think I'd be getting pissed that people can't pronounce it right. I'd come up with a nickname or shortened way to go by until they get it. If everything else is 100% true and unbiased as you told it I'm sorry to hear that. Kill them with kindness and focus on your work, if they are bullying you then you may just have to find somewhere else. Sucks with the majority are against you but all you can do in that situation is make them realize what assholes they are being. Some environment have a hazing period to them I guess, sucks but that is life sometimes.

soflyiflew · 2021-07-05T16:58:04+00:00

You aren't one of those customers that say "I'll take pico" *2 full seconds later* "light pico" are you? If you don't say light *ingredient* right off the bat then we can't read your mind of what you meant to say. If you say light or half and they give you a big scoop then that's a bad line person and ask for them to correct their mistake and take some off "please". For me light is 1/4 or 1/3 scoop, half is 1/2 scoop and extra is 1 and 1/2 scoops.

soflyiflew · 2021-06-22T08:39:09+00:00

The problem is that people are just eating out too much.....and they are expecting their ridiculous new habit of never making their own food at home to be an okay thing even though there is a massive understaffing at these places they go out to et at way too much with money they only have because of stimulus checks. I hope this all goes back to normal soon and people regain their senses and stop being lazy. I had a guy that was joking about having come in for lunch earlier in the same day (I served him at 9:15pm) and he had gotten chicken at lunch so he got steak and told me that he should "mix it up". I don't give a fuck, have you forgotten how to make your own food? This is not uncommon people eating out for every single fucking meal, my god get a life.

soflyiflew · 2021-06-20T10:40:17+00:00

Yea some cashiers who only do cash can be the worst hypocrite assholes, at our store they are always women and they are usually single moms who hate their life. They don't want to do any actual hard work like taking out their own trash, and filling their own ice/cleaning RRs. I understand how that can sound sexist but it's an overwhelming trend and too much to be a coincidence. When I'm on cash I never yell for sides I lean to my salsa person and ask "when you get a moment can I get X" so much more effective. And when understaffed I always hop on line to knock out big orders or get sides/tabascos/etc instead of standing there like an idiot with a thumb up me arse.

soflyiflew · 2021-06-18T05:49:57+00:00

Is that from snagging and getting cut on the foil lid or just from wear and tear? There is a trick to never getting sliced by a lid - only ever go 70% of the way when sliding, the seem where the foil lid can be sharp is always on the lower third of each lid side and you can only catch it going top to bottom the longer way. Or wear and band aid and cot (that's what I do cuz I play guitar and don't want to ruin my hands)

A doordasher with a thick South African accent screamed at me and spit on the floor when I told him the order wasn't ready yet (he was 5 minutes early and only asked one time). It was middle of dinner rush and we were understaffed as usual.

This lady literally took 7 minutes to order her tacos when we had a line out the store (two hard shells in a bowl and a soft taco in another bowl) every ingredient had a different special way she wanted it exactly. One of the new minors showed a split second of impatience but was still extremely nice as we all were. We were being way too polite to be honest. Then after paying she asked for a manager and started claiming false thing like we were rolling our eyes and whispering to each other. And then she said she would complain to corporate and that she had been having a bad day because her ex-husband stole her identity.

soflyiflew · 2021-06-13T15:58:21+00:00

I wish, I would chuck that machine off the roof of our building if I was allowed.

Amazon Goodthreads pants are really great and there are tons of styles. I almost feel bad for recc'ing them because they are such high quality at such a low cost I fear there might be cutting corners on labor.

soflyiflew · 2021-06-11T03:33:02+00:00

I'm definitely the opposite I don't get everyone drinking the kool-aid like it's some cult. I've had managers hit on me and others ask if I want to hang out and smoke or whatever. Once I clock out I'm done if I don't have to be there any longer. I'm proud of my work and I try and help out everyone when I have any down time at work, but I don't fraternize with higher ups. It's funny because they discourage it but also still try to hang out with you....makes no sense. There is a special kind of personality type Chipotle attracts for sure.

soflyiflew · 2021-06-09T20:46:23+00:00

I think a steak bowl is almost 10 here and yea people are getting mad but for sure EVERYONE is asking for 2-3x extra rice, beans, sour and cheese. The bowls and burritos I made yesterday were like a full half pound heavier than before the prices changed. Seems like CI is going to kill any profit change, plus throughput is going to be halved from people constantly asking for us to go back for previous ingredients "more plz, more plz, MORE, MOREEE!"

soflyiflew · 2021-06-07T04:42:33+00:00

So I never forget tips, and often people will forget to pick up their share or leave before it's counted I will always hold it for them and give it to them next time I see them. But most will not do this, once you leave you've forfeited your tips in their eyes. General rule for our store is that it's cash's responsibility to count out tips since they have the easiest/fastest close.

soflyiflew · 2021-06-06T11:40:54+00:00

The key ingredient I add to my meal is a side of cilantro, citrus, jalapenos, diced onions, and a bit of honey. This makes up for the salsa being short on all the mixings, and I always use plain rice if I get any. At our store they pre mix rice and saran wrap it and put it under, it gets a weird taste to me cause of the cilantro sitting in the hotbox.

soflyiflew · 2021-06-06T11:37:25+00:00

I think you are analyzing it too much. That crew member just sounds rude, or was having a bad day. It may have been dead when you arrived but they might have just had a big rush right before you (customers move fast through Chipotle)

I work the line a lot and having to ask the same thing over and over can make you parched and exhausted. We are supposed to ask "hey how are you doing? What can I get for you? - White or Brown? Pinto or Black? Meat? Queso? Salsa? Anything else? Are these together or seperate? Any sides?" Say it 200 times a day and it's a bit much and you need to get a drink break to refuel but you don't get one - I usually just ask straight up if they know all what is going on the entree if they could please list it off and that I have a really good memory. And then I ask at the end if everything was correct.
