I recently went into QDoba on Wednesday October 29th for some lunch, havent been for quite some time so thought I would pop into this location. I did enjoy the food but thats not why im leaving a review. When I entered, there was two people in a booth (which I found out were management, not sure if GM or anything) they were on their computer which is quite normal for management early in the day to get work done. There was one lady (I wish I got your name because you did a great job!) She seemed a little flustered this morning. She said hi when I got in and said I would be right with you. I was looking over the menu while on the phone but she was very polite with everything going on. From what I could gather there was only one other order she was working on and seemed to be getting the grasp of it. Definitely seems like she was still in training. What I didnt get was why she was by herself. Half way through, another gentleman came around to help out. If she was in training, im thinking he was the trainer doing something else. The two people behind me came up to the counter to let her know she was a little slow and needed to pick up the pace. A minute later he went around the counter basically telling her you have to work harder with his hands on his hips. The issue here is a management/training issue. Ive been working in food most of my life and this didnt seems like a proper environment for training and I advise anyone to stay away from here as they aren't treating their employees respectfully. If you are a manager or in a position like that, you should be coaching and developing, not berating individuals. To the lady who was working really hard and wish I got your name, Thank you for the burrito, you did a fantastic job. Everyone else, reconsider your life choices if you aren't going to treat people with respect and integrity.

Second time eating Qdoba. The only thing good is the chips and queso. Everything else is overpriced, and very small portions. That's if they can get your order right. I'm waiting on a refund I will probably never get
