    I’ve been eating Chipotle for years, and this was one of the worst experiences I’ve had. The customer service at this location was terrible. The staff were rude, the portions were barely half a scoop, and they even charged me for a drink when I only asked for a cup of water. When I pointed it out, they insisted it was my fault. I only come here because it’s close to my home, but after this visit I’ll avoid this location whenever I can.

    Chipotle used to be THE PLACE for healthy food at a reasonable price served quickly. It was clean, fresh and had friendly service with a nice atmosphere. Not so any longer. Nowadays service and food quality border on what you’d expect at a prison cafeteria. The food service area is disgusting and off putting. Food all over the counter with a bad smell and worse service. I figured I’d try again, hoping for the chipotle of the past, but yet again was sadly disappointed.

    The young lady (the petite one)who made my bowl rush through the line and was going to skip several items I had to tell her to go back because I wanted those items, she made us feel like we were bothering her, but the cashier was nice and friendly.

    I recently had a very disappointing experience at Chipotle due to an employee’s unprofessional and hostile behavior. The employee (Christina) was confrontational, used profanity, and continued acting disrespectfully even when I returned to pick up an online order. This was upsetting and far below the level of service I expect from Chipotle. I hope this issue is addressed so other customers don’t have a similar experience.
