My first and last experience with Chipotle, maybe I'd give them another shot in the US but not in Canada again.
While I was on business in Toronto I was playing tourist and decided to pop in and give it a try. I am a big guy and decided I would grab a rice bowl and a burrito to bring back to the hotel for later.
The place was busy- the line moved quick though. I told them what I wanted and was extremely disappointed as I saw the employees make my food- tiny meat portions. Tiny is not even adequate, pathetic measly meat portions.
I get to the till and am asked to pay 23$ for this tiny amount of food, whatever I think- at least my company is paying for it- but wait! They don't take debit( the cashier rudely tells me- probably also because I have a look of shock on my face. ) credit or cash only, I only brought my debit with me. I ask where the nearest debit is and am told its across the street.
What kind of establishment doesn't take debit? It's the same machine as credit?!?!? Sooo stupid. Anyways, I'm fully preparing to go across to the ATM when a coworker calls me from back at the hotel and asked if I want to go out for dinner..."well, ACTUALLY yes I do." I let that ripoff excuse of a restaurant to deal with my chihuahua portioned snacks and headed to a restaurant that guess what? TOOK DEBIT.
Ps- I ended up grabbing some Burrito's from a spot called Bandito Burritos ( I think) while I was in town. Amazing, fresh, tasty, large portions and TOOK DEBIT! Imagine that.
Step it up Chipotle.
