This manager should sue the company in my opinion.
Pretty sure all Mickey D’s make me pay first.
This past summer, daughter was playing All Stars in softball. It is customary for our league to pay for one meal/day during tournaments for the All Star teams and their coaches. This one family would show up where the girls were eating their meals, and they would claim to be with the team. They would then leave before the bill was paid, expecting the league to cover their tab as well. I guess they had done this in the past, and the coaches were watching to see if they pulled their trickeroo again. Sure enough, they got up to leave when it looked like most of the girls were done. But one of our Mamas informed the waitress (black female) of what they were doing, and she stopped them and handed them their check. They did not show up for another after game meal after that. They were/are the grandparents of two of the girls on the team. The grandfather is a Korean War veteran, and he wears his hat everywhere he goes. I don’t have a problem with that. I don’t have a problem with him taking whatever folks are willing to give him. But they had done this scam previously with their extended family in attendance at a seafood restaurant. Their tab was over $300 that time, and the other parents ended up paying for that. I grew up in Mississippi and have lived all over the country and been around folks of various ethnicities. Until I saw these folks in action this summer, I had never seen someone brazenly attempt to steal a meal this way. But it must be common in the area to brazenly steal food, clothes, electronics, whatever. The clerks in the department stores have been telling us that it is terrible. BLACK cashiers are telling us these things about black customers.
Another thing I noticed during softball season this past Spring is that the black adults attending games purchase items at the concession stands, and then they leave their trash on the bleachers EVERY SINGLE GAME. Why don’t they throw their trash away? I don’t get it.
I’d find a money grubbing lawyer, redundant I know, give him the entire winnings and sue them for all they have.
The world is turned upside down.
I ate at that place once. Never again in 15 years.
What a bunch of vermin
Most every fast food place has you pay before you get your food, at the drive-thru, especially.
I’ve never been to “Chipotle”, and doubt that I’ll ever go, but I don’t see anything wrong with having the customer pay before eating...especially in this day and time.
I was in the check out line at Food Lion and in front of me was a squat Latino woman with 4 kids hanging off a cart chock full with items. After her items were tallied the bill was $165. She handed the cashier a coupon. The Cashier looked at it and said it was not anything honored by the store, while handing it back. The woman just handed her the coupon again, so the cashier called the manager. He tried to talk to the Latino but she just shrugged and, speaking no English, kept handing him the coupon again. Finally, the manager told the cashier, just let her take the food and go.
At Every Chipotle I go to, you order your food, they build it while you watch, you PAY at the register, and they then hand you your food.
I don’t remember ever having my hands on my food before I paid.
I presume that what he is actually saying is that he wants them to pay before they start BUILDING their food; I can imagine people scamming the place by having them build a whole order, and then coming up a dollar short. The cashier can either throw the food away, or accept the discount payment.
Hey everybody, you don’t have to pay anythign when you eat at chipotle- especially if you are a minority- but reaLLY,, if they demand that white people pay, while not requiring people of minorities to pay, then that’s racism
Yea, but the customer has a protective skin tone.
how do you dine and dash at chipolte ? By us, I gotta pay when I pick up my food.
At Chipotle you always have to pay for your food before you get it.
But what happens to a burrito after it is made and a customer cannot pay?
I am thinking it has to be thrown away, which is a loss to the business.
They used to hang people for stealing bread; people didn’t steal bread.
on sfo bart today there were two different minority female economically disadvantaged persons outside the station turnstile, complaining loudly and profanely about everything under the sun while international visitors streamed past, quietly paying for their tickets and entering the platform. within a minute, about 3 uniformed san francisco police officers arrived. the officers were polite and something in their demeanor indicated that they have seen this type of thing many times before. an officer opened the emergency door next to the turnstile and let the minority female in, cursing and shouting. then the other minority female got in somehow. i did not see it because i was trying not to watch or attract attention to myself since otherwise i probably would have said something that would end up provoking them and bringing the heat down on me once the fireworks started.
anyway the two minority females ended up boarding my bart train and my bart car.
one sat about 10 feet from me. as soon as she sat, she opened a paper bag which turned out to be full of huge spare ribs. then she started eating the ribs, one after another, very loudly, all the way to oakland, while the other was in the back of the car, still cursing loudly. as the train got to oakland, the minority females disappeared.
i recall one statement that the loud minority female made that the other minority female was her daughter. both of these were women that one would never want to get within 10 feet of.
since my skin color was off for preferential treatment, i paid my train ticket fare in full.
On Mars, I believe we should pick our own cotton.
I think we should also pick our own lettuce and fruit.
The low life was planning to “dine and dash” and even invited friends to come and partake. The manger was correct in what she did, maybe just off on the timing. She should have called the police when they would not pay.
But in my experience, most fast food places make you pay before you get the food. Where's the beef with that? Just treat everyone the same.
Pretty stupid of the Chipotle manager. What they needed to do was to change it so that everyone pays in advance. Looks like this was a set up job.
