I live near this Chipotle and come here 2–3 times a week because I genuinely enjoy the food. Unfortunately, I have repeatedly experienced rude and disrespectful treatment from the same three employees — two men and one woman.
Almost every time I visit, their tone, facial expressions, and the way they respond to me make me feel unwelcome and uncomfortable. English is not my first language, and I may sometimes pronounce a word with an accent, but that should never be a reason for an employee to speak to a customer in a mocking, sarcastic, or disrespectful way. At times, the repeated treatment has even made me wonder whether I am being treated differently because of my background or accent.
Today, September 5 at approximately 4:10 PM, I ordered my food as usual and purchased a Coca-Cola in a glass bottle. I was dining inside and politely asked an employee to help me open the metal bottle cap. Instead of simply helping me, the employee rudely told me that he would not open it and that I should go find somewhere else to open it myself.
I then explained that I come here several times a week and asked why I repeatedly receive this kind of rude treatment. I am not asking for special treatment. I simply order my food, eat quietly, and leave. I do not understand why I am consistently treated this way.
The food here is very good, which is why I continue coming back, but customers should also be treated with basic courtesy and respect. I hope management takes this seriously, reviews what happened, and addresses the behavior of the employees involved. No customer should feel mocked, disrespected, or unwelcome because of their accent or background.
