WTF? I've never seen a chipotle restaurant, but if they all look like that then WTF were they thinking? That's the most horrid design ever. Seriously WTF!

Why can't they have a nice glass dome going to other way like every other restaurant on the planet? Clearly they want people to spit, drool, vomit, and grab whatever they want with a stupid 4$$ design like that.

If I've never been (which I haven't) how the hell am I supposed to know what's what when there are no labels and no way to point without getting all up in there? Bend the dang thing the other way so I can easily see and point to stuff from my side of the glass.

How it's supposed to be done you morons...and put labels on the glass so its easy to tell what's what.

im sure chipotle will miss your business and will now go out of business because your lost sales and you thinking they have a horrible design. they must be doing everything wrong in their restaurants considering how their business is doing.

He is likely part of the "fast food wrecks me weak ass stomach" ATOT group. The same ones that can't stomach Taco Bell or McDonalds.

I'm a humanitarian. I eat humans. I'm going to heaven because I believe. Have you found Jesus yet?

Yep, I saw him earlier today in fact, but he was busy mowing so I didn't wanna bother him with my problems. I'll try to catch him next time.

Edit: Not too bad for my 666th post. :D

Chipotle's design has some serious flaws, I'm not even sure how the health department allows Mexican places to have the salsa bars they do. There's nothing much that's more revolting than watching someone holding a sauce cup over the salsa bowl and overfill it. And then the salsa runs down the sides of their fingers and back into the bowl. This seems beyond unsanitary. But to give Chipotle credit here, this is pretty much standard at every Mexican place I eat at.

Which is why I always bring my own sauce from home.

chipotle has nothing of what you are complaining about. there is no salsa bar or any open stuff like you are talking about. that is baja fresh. chipotle has the bottles of tobasco sauce.

oh, and stop going to restaurants in homeless neighborhoods and you won't have the problem you are having. i've eaten at a lot of fast food places in my time and never once have i ever experienced what you are talking about, and i never eat in homeless areas. therefore that is the only logical explanation.

The fuck they don't, it's the same setup as El Pollo, Green Burrito (Carl's) and basically every mexican spot. Salsa bar's are standard fair.

Like this but it's in the open for customers to help themselves. Last time I was at El Pollo I watched someone overfill a cup like I mentioned, then they put the container down, licked the sauce off their hands and proceeded to fill up another where a bit more spilled over and off their fingers back into the bowl. Watching small kids at salsa bars is even more horrific. This was at an El Pollo in a rich neighborhood so it can't just be ghetto areas.

Are you sure you were in a Chipolte? I've never seen a salsa bar at one. Maybe they have special Chipoltes in special neighborhoods, filled with special people.

i've never been to a chipotle where the customers do their own salsas; it's always the workers doing the scooping behind the glass.

I don't put my arm over the sneezes guard, but really, what difference does it make? It's a SNEEZE guard, not a "hovering hand blocker"

Really, why would anybody give a shit about something so trivial?

Like I said, I've never even seen one of their restaurants. I rarely go out to eat and almost never pay if I do. This year I did help pay for a fathers day meal at a german/french restaurant.

Anyway, if you looked at the posted pictures it obvious they've basically reversed your windshield so it now scoops wind/rain/bugs into your face and have removed any safety mechanisms preventing your car from being stolen.

Maybe that's the new hip and trendy s**t but I'm gonna say it how it is...flat out stupid. But then you guys pop up and complain about the wet and the bugs and cry when somebody touches or takes your stuff. LOL Then stop being morons.

Is it going to stop me from eating there if somebody else pays? Nope.

Quebert has repeatedly displayed his Chipotle ignorance and admitted that he doesn't even get salsa at one point. He also referred to their food as bland, which leads me to believe he either lacks functioning taste buds, hasn't ever eaten at a Chipotle, or is trolling.

He's the POTUS. he can dip his finger in the barbacoa, taste it, go "nah, i think i'll go with the carnitas today", and still get a hi-five from the servers / other customers.

POTUS is not an acronym. You don't use "of" or "the" in acronym's. Its PUSA or just PUS

My bad I guess the one by me is the only one in the world with the Salsa bar, they also have the Coke Fusion machine where the one a town over doesn't - I guess that means Chipotle's don't have Coke Fusion machines either huh?
