The young lady was rude and impatient at the register when my mother dropped her change. Young people need to have more patience with the elderly.

This location gets worse every month. Ordered a salad & there wasn’t enough mixed green so I was told they will just use the shredded lettuce. Chips and guac absolutely disgusting. Not worth $13 for a salad.

I've been going to Chipotle since 1999 and this was by far the absolute smallest burrito I've ever had with the ingredient request (and extra corn salsa) being very consistent. When I complained the manager took it to the back, confirmed it was what I ordered then refused to remake it. I had the guy at the counter confirm it was small and I said, "seems like they keep getting smaller" to which he retorted "yeah and they keep costing more". I again requested that she remake it as this was beyond tiny in comparison to a normal burrito and she again refused. I was calm but stern and she got very snippy. The customer is not always right at Chipotle, I guess. Someone else chimed in that you need to order "extra". I asked for a refund. They said I have to do it in the app. I asked for the manager's name and was told they do not need to give that to me. General manager's card phone number just puts you in a loop, no help. The help in the order gets you to a bot that is no help. I've attached a pic of the burrito with a side of salsa as reference for how tiny it is. Yeah, it's double foil wrapped so it's even smaller than that! This location has steadily reduced sizes such that this place it no longer on our pick up food rotation. I wish someone would resurrect Cecilia's on LaPaz, I miss them so much!
