I just moved here and can confirm. I used to get chipotle all the time where I came from and had it twice here and haven’t been back since. Quality and consistency were just trash. Fortunately though, Richmond’s local food scene is off the charts so who needs chipotle haha

Yes, EVERYTHING is prepped in the morning. Veggies cut, meats put in marinade. All of it. If at 6 I’m out of fajita veggies, I don’t have enough people to say “hey, go cut more veggies so we can fry” - it sucks, but pulling someone from any position is gonna make things worse. We’re already doing the jobs of 2-3 ppl each

tHe MaRkEt works both ways. $13 buys you shitty labor. You wouldn’t do that work for $13 an hour and neither would I. But $100 an hour? I’d jump at that AND be the best damn chipotle employee. Sooo, somewhere between 13 and 100 is an hourly rate that would get you better service in fast food. I don’t know exactly what that number is, but it doesn’t matter because ThE mArKeT has decided that shitty service is good enough.

10 years ago min wage was $7.25 I think. Now it's $12. Google says inflation is 29% in last decade. So $7.25 becomes $9.35 in today's dollars. Seems min wage has kept up with inflation or better, so why is quality/service so much worse?

Where did I say they should be paid less??? Personally, no, I would not work at McDonald’s for $13/hr. But that’s more or less current rate set by the market. Either one of two things happen with raising wages for unskilled labor. 1)There’s a big push for automation and machines start to replace people 2)The business goes under. This is why it’s extremely important to gain other skills in this market, especially since we have tons and tons of information to learn at our fingertips.

I'm not disagreeing with that.....no personal knowledge myself. I've eaten there but I've always thought Chipotle was bland and overrated since I first had it maybe around 2012. I'm just surprised and a bit amused that a simple statement about liking a location of a chain is getting downvoted similarly to when people say pretty vile or hateful things and get downvoted for it.

> should be paid even less?

FTFY.

Although payed exists (the reason why autocorrection didn't help you), it is only correct in:

  • Nautical context, when it means to paint a surface, or to cover with something like tar or resin in order to make it waterproof or corrosion-resistant. The deck is yet to be payed.

  • Payed out when letting strings, cables or ropes out, by slacking them. The rope is payed out! You can pull now.

Unfortunately, I was unable to find nautical or rope-related words in your comment.

Beep, boop, I'm a bot

$13-$15 is not a liveable wage. Wanting more is not entitlement. I've, lost chunks of skin, been burned a thousand times, and abused by coworkers and customers alike...all for poverty wages.

Would you work at McDonald's for $13/hr? And you think they should be paid even less?
