That would be a sad life if I get thrilled over that lol.
It's definitely not common, but it annoys me to no end when it happens.

You just don't know when to quit, do you?
There's no such thing as a secret menu. It's just that fast food places are generally very accommodating to customer requests and some people dream up of different combinations that become popular on the internet.

It was as of this afternoon, I got a steak burrito on Clooney's tab. I felt bad about it, maybe I'll mail him some cash.
What's this about?

It's one of the famous Chipotle food hacks. "Three years ago, George Clooney opened up a tab at Chipotle and forgot to close it out. If you say, This ones on Clooney, they add it to his tab (now somewhere around $3 million), and you eat free. Thats right: FREE."
Oh my god lmao

Chipotle was the worst job I've ever had in my life and I am so glad this is happening because fuck everyone who orders these.
Once I had a dude order a quesarito and when we charged him the price of a burrito plus the price of a quesadilla for it - which makes fucking sense - he screamed at us and stormed out, leaving it on the counter without paying.
Quite good! I don't know how the vegan crowd feels about it but the texture is almost completely indistinguishable from ground beef.

This is why I think they're making it official and setting a high price as a deterrent instead of making a rule against doing it. If it's just a rule, it won't be enforced consistently and it just leads to situations where asshole customers get in fights with the employees. If it's right there on the menu, there's no argument to be had.
Lol ok those are all bullshit
Naw, I've done #1 before.

I'm not sure about the rest of them but the Clooney thing definitely works.

I hate how Chipotle charges me for a full burrito when all I want is chicken and cheese. Used to charge me for just a quesadilla but that is no more....

Really? I just get tacos that are steak and cheese and it's usually like $2 cheaper...

Yeah this is exactly it. Back when I worked there quesaritos still weren't an official thing, so our understaffed location just told everyone we straight up wouldn't do them. We just didn't have the time or resources. We had so many pissed off customers as a result, and because Reddit is a cesspit of reposted unoriginal content, I could literally see some dumb reminder that quesaritos exist on the front page like once a month and, without fail, we'd get a massive uptick in people asking about them the next day.
It's kind of amazing where the blame goes in situations like that. If someone comes in and orders literally ten burritos, the vast majority of the customers behind them are going to blame the first employee they meet in the line. I once had some older lady chew me out because she waited for an hour in line. On Black Friday. In a shopping center.

I love that mix of warm chicken and cool cheese all wrapped together.

The sofritas are decent. I had it one time earlier this year with hot salsa and guac and it was pretty mild. I'd definitely recommend trying it at least once. Is it relatively high in sodium if that's any concern to you.

How did you guys feel about customers that used the app to skip the line?

Oh I sympathize. It's delicious. Now you've made me curious, I need to go and try to order my thing and see if they took my discount away!

Yeah my wife is super picky, hates beans, salsa, doesn't like tortillas, so she just gets a bowl with rice, steak, cheese, and sour cream. Normal price. Or she gets guacamole and her tiny half full bowl is more expensive than my burrito bursting from the seams.

The pinto beans used to be cooked in with bacon/hamcock. No more
Yeah, i noticed this change. Ugh.

It's totally fine. If you have a T1 who knows what they're doing online orders are usually not a problem, and when they become one, we actually open a separate line in the back just for online orders.
If your order is precise, or complicated, or long, or whatever, it's cool. I mean, that's the reason you're eating out, you don't wanna cook that night and you want it the way you like it. It's when customers treated me, my staff, or other customers like shit that annoyed me. Talking on the phone mid-order, reaching over the glass to point at stuff, demanding better treatment than other customers ("can I get the FRESH rice?"), etc.
People have sampled things in front of me as well. Annoying as shit.
At my store, we would set online orders wait times to like an hour, hour and a half and refuse any phone orders and requests for earlier pick ups. Other stores do it differently, but I think the way we did it was fair.
As far as general production, yes you can have a slow crew, but 8/10 times its the customers slowing down the line and there was nothing we could do about it.
Tons of people do, especially if they're dubious about eating spicy foods, or if they're letting their kids try it and see if they like it.
Chicken, cheese, and rice? Yeah that would be a burrito.
Just chicken and cheese in a tortilla should be charged as a quesadilla, or at the very least a chicken 3-pointer which are items with one meat and one other ingredient not including the shells or bowl.

Never knew this was a thing, but for 3.50 extra? Not worth it. I'll get my Quesarito fix at Taco Bell.

never made sense how this was free in the past, it's a whole quesadilla added to your order essentially
THANK YOU. Can't believe it took so long to post. I HATE FAMILIES IN CHIPOTLE. You don't need to let everyone of your kids spend 20 minutes ordering his or her own taco kit while the line sprawls outside the restaurant. For FUCKS SAKE.

Considering all the calories in those tortillas, don't think I would every order this anyways
I agree, it not having a standardized price was pretty confusing. Most of the time it was free, but sometimes they wanted to charge me and I would feel frustrated since I was expecting it for free. $3.50 is kind of a lot though..
What the fuck? Families shouldn't have the same privilege as every single other customer?

Yeah, no. Get over it. Everybody has the right to eat. I've seen groups of adults take just as long, if not longer.
Well it's not that bad. At least they have those people move to the side now.

I agree. But maybe the poster is implying a more efficient way of doing things. Like if you know you're bringing your family, maybe give menus prior, or have one person write everyone's order? Or at least pick up the menu in the line rather than waiting right until you get to the cook on the line?
