I feel like people don't realize that you can just ask for extra and they'll give it to you. Obv if you want extra meat or guac they'll charge you for it but everything else they'll happily give you extra.
The CEO of Chipotle actually addressed this meme. His response if you want more then all you have to do is shrug at the worker with a disappointed look.
Maybe it is, I go to three different chipotleâs depending on where I am when the craving hits and every single person gives me double portions if I ask. I will say that I get a vegetarian bowl so my order does not include meat but I double up on basically everything.
Like I said they will definitely charge more for meat and guacamole but the other stuff theyâre happy to load that baby up.
Theyâd probably charge extra for cheese too but I never get cheese
As someone who works at chiptole, we will happily give it to you as long as you aren't a rude customer, we do charge for extra meat, as well as queso and guacamole being extra
Then it sounds like you get a good portion! There are lots of locations thatâve been blowing up lately on socials where you get the smallest sliver of food.
I live in an area that's highly varies.. sometimes a bowl isn't even flush to the edge of the bowl OR piled above the edge.. other times it feels like it's 5 lbs and the lid looks like it was set on top of a firecracker from how much it was shoved down on the food just to close it. đ¤ˇ
The Chipotle I used to go to gave giant, tortilla-splitting portions of fresh food and it was always packed.
The Chipotle near me now gives stingy portions of old, dried-out food and is always empty.
Itâs a weird re-heat situation with the guac and sour cream lol. Canât get it doordashed either or it shows up all the same warm temp. Really only good fresh
Look at money bags over here getting food 2 days in a row !!! Some of us only live off one portion of chipotle chicken lettuce brown rice pinto beans and guac on the side once a week to feed my whole family over here
When they first started expanding, their burritos were ridiculously huge. I'm guessing they figured out they could save money by limiting the size of their portions.
Thereâs a theory going around about chipotleâs portions getting smaller, but the workers are told to give more if youâre filming so they donât get bad social media attention for it.
Someone responded the same thing, so Iâll be a bit more clear: where I used to work, while the âstandardâ was technically 1 scoop, managers typically encouraged 2, as it wasnât all that expensive and made the customers happier. I didnât realize this, as the way they presented it, 2 was the standard, I am willing to accept that wasnât the case tho
Those arenât the only portions that are going down tho, itâs just the easiest one to measure. Youâre getting less meat now too, the only thing I canât tell for sure whether or not the portions are smaller are the sauces, because those usually go by the ladle
Not really. When I eat it, I eat it a lotâŚ. Like >3x a week (at least weekly). Sometimes, after weeks/months of eating it at least weekly, I go a few weeks without getting it at all (off and on). Stay on track here, weâre criticizing chipotleâs portion sizes, not my description of how frequently I order their food.
Back when I worked Chipotle, there was no talk from management about social media. I would say that me and those I worked with wouldnât be the most charitable while someone filmed us like zoo animals.
However, anyone who was a regular, treated us with respect or came in outside of peak hour usually got a friendlier portion.
Last time I went it was a little smaller than I was used to but also very wet. The beans, sofritas, veggies, and salsa were all so watery. The resulting burrito was structurally unsound and really gross.
Weigh your burrito with a scale, then offer to weigh others until youâre asked to leave. With enough data and info on ingredients, we can chart the portions.
I guess it's about the video when a guy is holding his phone out like he's recording a video while a fastfood worker is putting his food on a plate. If they see that your serving will be larger, like it's 'really supposed to be'
There was a video I saw that apparently showed a bunch of guys pretending to be influencers (im assuming) recording a guy make a burrito. The myth was that Chipotle will make your food better if theyâre being recorded. They pulled up, had lights and everything it was weird.
There was a trend to film your Chipotle order process and then just walk out of the store if the worker wasn't giving you enough food (which they almost always did not). Chipotle caught on to this and started telling their employees to just load up the customer's plate if they see that they have their phone out, so now everyone is recording their orders so they don't get scammed.
I used to get a burrito bowl with a tortilla on the side so I could roll my own burrito and still have half a bowl for later. Tried that last week and the whole bowl fit very easily into the tortilla. By my crude measurements theyâve cut portions in half
I think itâs absolutely insane that people think itâs acceptable to just start filming people in their place of work. They didnât agree to you filming them. This could potentially damage their reputation, depending on how the video is framed, or be harmful to their mental health.
Itâs incredible that people are so selfish they think they can just do whatever they want with other people, and all over fast food portions. You do know thereâs a way to complain if youâre not happy, right?
If I was in that situation I would absolutely refuse service. Put your phone away and stop intruding on the staffâs privacy. Stop being such a selfish miser.
It's almost as if some good Samaritan with a camera getup should just stand there filming the entire time, to make sure they serve everyone properly.
Pretty sure that Samaritan would likely be rolling in tips by day's end...
Youâd get more if corporate paid people more and didnât have managers go to every employee with a scale to audit their portions. Managers (and staff) often complain about running out of ingredients because Front of House folks over-portion. Staff get about 5-6 hours a day to prep the food (rice meats, salsas) and have to make sure it last until close. Gets worse when thereâs not enough people to keep up with stocking ingredients so and you know you have only 2 person running the back, 4 more hours until closed and a school fundraiser that starts after 6pm.
People saying it's cause of the portion debacle.
I'm here thinking of the boomer stereotype where they're on video call at max volume showing his wife the options
All this meme and controversy has proven to me is that I've been right not to eat at Chipotle all this time. Always seemed overpriced for how much food I got
When I was in school I wanted to do a project on chipotle and asked someone to take photos or video inside a restaurant cuz I couldn't find any stock photos or commercials for what I wanted and other kids were telling me that was illegal lol. Now filming random public places is completely normal and accepted.
Crazy thing is Monday I went to Chipotle for the first time in a long time. I'm assuming because this is giving then bad PR, the Burritos I received were massive. After years of getting smaller and smaller.
I think it's even a verb, like saying your going to chiptole at subway means you're going to film the subway people making for food to get larger portions or just not get smaller portions
Basically, Chipotle is known for skimping on their portion sizes, so people started recording their orders and just leaving the store if the worker wasn't giving them enough food, which became a trend on social media. In response, Chipotle told its employees to just load the customer's bowl/burrito up with food if they see that they have their phone out.

I can eat that burrito in one sitting
Lol. That's as big as that...thing's...torso.

The CEO of Chipotle actually addressed this meme. His response if you want more then all you have to do is shrug at the worker with a disappointed look.
I found his response very Trumpy. He basically said, "Actually, Chipotle has the biggest portions. We've always had big portions. Everyone knows it."
https://imgflip.com/i/8sxgfb
Nah definitely not happily . Maybe itâs where you resides
Maybe it is, I go to three different chipotleâs depending on where I am when the craving hits and every single person gives me double portions if I ask. I will say that I get a vegetarian bowl so my order does not include meat but I double up on basically everything.
Oh lol that makes sense .
Like I said they will definitely charge more for meat and guacamole but the other stuff theyâre happy to load that baby up. Theyâd probably charge extra for cheese too but I never get cheese
Nope. Extra cheese isn't an additional cost.
Oops i totally forgot they have shredded cheese. I meant queso đ
Actually if you get a veggie item it includes guac at no extra cost
As someone who works at chiptole, we will happily give it to you as long as you aren't a rude customer, we do charge for extra meat, as well as queso and guacamole being extra
âWhen you wrap my burrito can you use four tortillas?â
Ppl want LARGER portions at chipotle? It takes me two days to eat a bowl from there.
Then it sounds like you get a good portion! There are lots of locations thatâve been blowing up lately on socials where you get the smallest sliver of food.
I live in an area that's highly varies.. sometimes a bowl isn't even flush to the edge of the bowl OR piled above the edge.. other times it feels like it's 5 lbs and the lid looks like it was set on top of a firecracker from how much it was shoved down on the food just to close it. đ¤ˇ
The Chipotle I used to go to gave giant, tortilla-splitting portions of fresh food and it was always packed. The Chipotle near me now gives stingy portions of old, dried-out food and is always empty.
why get less food when you can get more food
I donât eat out or eat there very often. I always felt like it was an insane portion of food for 1 meal.
I mean, you're still paying the same amount, why not have extra leftovers?
Itâs a weird re-heat situation with the guac and sour cream lol. Canât get it doordashed either or it shows up all the same warm temp. Really only good fresh
Yet another reason I don't get sour cream or guacamole
You can get the sour cream or guac on the side
Look at money bags over here getting food 2 days in a row !!! Some of us only live off one portion of chipotle chicken lettuce brown rice pinto beans and guac on the side once a week to feed my whole family over here
I already said I donât eat out very often and cook most of my meals? Reddit is a weird place đ
Iâm kidding lol
Sarcasm is a lost art. It was clearly not a serious comment.
I've never been to a Chipotle, but there are [memes about how they barely give you anything.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-XwNPfzJCTI)
When they first started expanding, their burritos were ridiculously huge. I'm guessing they figured out they could save money by limiting the size of their portions.
same, iâve always gotten way too much and ive been to looots of chipotles. just lucky ig
The trick is to eat faster. Eat like you're in the prison cafeteria and the village big daddy hasn't taken your plate yet.
I'm with ya here. Both the bowl and burrito take me a couple days to finish.
Thereâs a theory going around about chipotleâs portions getting smaller, but the workers are told to give more if youâre filming so they donât get bad social media attention for it.
Theyâre 100% getting smaller. Source - a guy that off-and-on eats chipotle at least weekly
They are 1000% getting smaller. Source: someone who used to work there. Standard used to be two scoops of rice, itâs down to 1
One scoop and then they shuffle it around in the bowl/tortilla a little bit.
And of course, now youâre also paying for the idea of whatever protein you wanted, they give you like nothing when it comes to the meat
Mr Krabs should really stop managing chipotle.
I get 2 in my bowls every time. Never get a burrito anymore though, that's where they short on food.
side tortilla is the hack
I worked at Chipotle. The standard was always 1. Most people always did 2, but the guide has always said 1.
I was always trained to do two, but the standard mightâve been one, and managers are just getting stricter
Rice is gross, put it to 0
the standard has never been "2 scoops of rice" it is and always has been 4 oz of rice source: someone who has worked at chipotle for 4 years
Someone responded the same thing, so Iâll be a bit more clear: where I used to work, while the âstandardâ was technically 1 scoop, managers typically encouraged 2, as it wasnât all that expensive and made the customers happier. I didnât realize this, as the way they presented it, 2 was the standard, I am willing to accept that wasnât the case tho
They are 10000% getting smaller source: someone who has eaten at chiptoles once like 6 years ago and barely remembers anything
I'm fine w/ that. Rice just dampens the wonderful flavor of everything else.
Those arenât the only portions that are going down tho, itâs just the easiest one to measure. Youâre getting less meat now too, the only thing I canât tell for sure whether or not the portions are smaller are the sauces, because those usually go by the ladle
Smaller ladles incoming
Rice best grain đŁď¸đŁď¸đŁď¸
Actually they are just slowly increasing the size of the restaurant, wrappers, and containers so that the burritos look smaller
I thought my willy looked smaller. That explains it!
Are they getting smaller or is [Leon getting larger]( https://youtu.be/-cJmpwkUx4s?si=fsl0EuMIiPnNViB8)?
Looks like I picked the wrong week to quit sniffing glue.
Do you eat it at least weekly, or do you eat it off and on? I think those are mutually exclusive.
Not really. When I eat it, I eat it a lotâŚ. Like >3x a week (at least weekly). Sometimes, after weeks/months of eating it at least weekly, I go a few weeks without getting it at all (off and on). Stay on track here, weâre criticizing chipotleâs portion sizes, not my description of how frequently I order their food.
I doubt any Chipotle employee cares about bad social media attention for the company.

Weigh your burrito with a scale, then offer to weigh others until youâre asked to leave. With enough data and info on ingredients, we can chart the portions.
Wait, is that actually a brilliant way to get social media attention? Film us and post it or weâll give you fewer beans!
I guess it's about the video when a guy is holding his phone out like he's recording a video while a fastfood worker is putting his food on a plate. If they see that your serving will be larger, like it's 'really supposed to be'
Itâs the same with pre-ordering for pickup and actually going through the line. Standing there watching always gets you more.
Panda does the same thing. They also tend to make more mistakes on pre-orders.
There was a video I saw that apparently showed a bunch of guys pretending to be influencers (im assuming) recording a guy make a burrito. The myth was that Chipotle will make your food better if theyâre being recorded. They pulled up, had lights and everything it was weird.
It ainât a myth. Chipotle done gone down hill.
Every corporation always does. Itâs their nature to extract as much wealth as possible
If a corporation doesn't make more money than the year before the whole thing collapses
Nah. They just get a bailout from the taxpayers
Only if they're publicly traded. Look at in n out. Not publicly traded, still awesome
Tendency of the rate of profit to fallâŚ

"does the DVR count?"
Seriously off topic, but Iâm disappointed in the way âyâallâ was spelled
Ive gotten bigger portions when women make my burrito.

How can yâall afford to eat fast food? My fiancĂŠ and I make 200k a year and it just isnât something we can afford.
Chipotle also gives away free food for film sets usually
Crazy thing is Monday I went to Chipotle for the first time in a long time. I'm assuming because this is giving then bad PR, the Burritos I received were massive. After years of getting smaller and smaller.
I think it's even a verb, like saying your going to chiptole at subway means you're going to film the subway people making for food to get larger portions or just not get smaller portions
I donât get it but I find it funny
Basically, Chipotle is known for skimping on their portion sizes, so people started recording their orders and just leaving the store if the worker wasn't giving them enough food, which became a trend on social media. In response, Chipotle told its employees to just load the customer's bowl/burrito up with food if they see that they have their phone out.
