    I’m so tired of this restaurant never having the ingredients that I would like when I come to eat in the evenings. It’s ridiculous that they are constantly out of salad dressing, guacamole, meats, and other things after 7pm. 90% of the time when I come to order a salad they’re out of dressing — which honesty makes the salad five times better and I don’t even really like eating the salads without it. Tonight was the kicker, though, when I asked an employee why they’re constantly out of it. She blamed it on the customers saying the customers take too much dressing. I asked why they don’t put more dressing in the containers and make more, since they only usually filled them 1/4 to 1/3 of the way full and run out constantly. And if customers are taking five dressings at a time, then that should tell them that the customers obviously want more dressing in the containers and that they should do something about that. She then said “Well I think it’s really strong.” as if the customers who come before me should simply take less, and her taste should apply to everyone. I then told the lady that I didn’t even want to order a salad anymore at that point and that I was tired of this happening and then I left without ordering. On my way out, in the reflection in the glass doors, I saw another one of the employees turn around towards another employee and laugh at me. And honestly, that was it for me. Due to the rudeness and dismissiveness of the employees and the incompetence of never having dressing or many other ingredients that I want when I come in the evenings, I will not eat at this location anymore, and chances are I won’t be going to eat at any other chipotle anymore because the other locations are too far away. I like your salads when you actually have dressing but I’m tired of this nonsense.
