Ima just saying, if you were to make it yourself it would cost about the same or it would cost more, so extra for guaco isn’t really bad, just saying

This is actually true, i made an experiment once where i bought a Mcdonalds cheeseburger and let it rest outside the fridge for like 3 months. It didnt rott, no mold, nothing.

[@OBIOsim]

The vegetable processing plant I work for carried Chipotle's diced tomato business for 2 years. We built a brand new state-of-the-art processing room and utilized incredibly strict sanitation standards (still do) in how the tomatoes were handled from the time they were unloaded from the trucks that delivered them to our plant all the way through to the final product being loaded onto out-going trucks. The Chipotle contract was not renewed at the end of the original 2-year agreement. The plant sure misses the contract, but we are using that multi-million dollar processing department on a daily basis to supply a number of customers with diced tomatoes, peppers, onions, carrots and cabbage products that are produced in a state-of-the-art processing department using extremely tight sanitation and safety standards.

[@purplesoup2663]

LMAO RIGHT

[@lisaproctor7276]

Yes! Still making people sick

[@SirenaWF1]

It wasn't the restaurant that was at fault, but the protein suppliers. Just like McDonald's wasn't at fault for the romain lettuce poisoning (that I also suffered from) because of tainted produce from Yuma, AZ. Having what felt like explosive and never ending gas which also caused severe back pain that I had to take nearly 4g of ibuprofen to just to sleep was hell. Of course, I kept eating the salads because in my mind, how could a salad be unhealthy? I assumed it was other things until my mum forwarded a CNN article about the problem.

[@Ldeos]

lmao its the cleanest place you could eat, like come on have none of you worked at any other fast food chain? Ive seen stores with mold inside their walk-ins, roach infestation, literally employees working even if they vomit during their shift🙄

[@Ms.NoNo2]

hollywood 899 that’s because all those services mentioned are DELIVERY... why waste time standing in line when someone can bring it to you.

[@yeeluvspizza]

@@Eugenepanels Maybe the customer base in your area is unfairly being unforgiving about the situation or being petty. The rest of the nation seems to have moved on and it's business as usual. If your local Chipotle closes, it prolly means your area doesn't deserve to have one and another area does deserve one. No one outside of your area will even care if that happens.

[@sneakerjoe23]

I loved going to chipotle during all that. No lines and they’d give you more food. I went 2/3 times a week lol

[@andy-zu2xm]

it never actually bothered me that chipotle had made hundreds i’ll, the only reason why i stopped eating there because they add excess sodium to much of it

If you're paid your hourly rate by staying home and not working if you're sick then you wouldn't want to go to work sick in the first place as you wont lose a shift's worth of pay.

I'm not making excuses because unfortunately some chipotle locations did give people food poisoning. However, my comment is for those of you commenting down below about getting stomach aches after eating chipotle in present day. You guys do realize that beans cause bloating and gas? Explanation #1 for stomach aches. This includes more stomach irritation if you ask for salsa because some people's digestive system can't handle the spiciness. Also, maybe some of you can't handle gluten. 🙄

The Chipotles in my area were never affected by the food safety problems and, unpopular opinion though it may be, I actually like Chipotle's food.

[@Mr6384]

Only ever had one issue with Chipotle, and it was before the e coli bacteria. I went into a store in south Florida and when I got to the second station, the sneeze shields were missing. Then the customer in front of me, who was sniffling, reached over the food to grab his burrito. I quietly called this to the attention of the manager, who shrugged it off. I left without food. Annoyed, I called the area manager and told her what happened. She too made it seem that missing shields was part of the business, but offered me a free meal. I told her that I was very shocked at the whole thing and that a call to the health inspectors office was in order. This happened only months before their outbreak. Not that this was or was not part of it, the health safety issue sure was not a priority for the company. We've only started going back a few years ago

[@SirenaWF1]

I've gone into that restaurant by DU a number of times. I knew it was old, but I didn't know it was the first one.

[@SirenaWF1]

@Jacob Dawson I don't at all consider that food garbage. It's very high in calories and obviously if you eat too much of it and don't exercise then you'll get fat and have complications from being obese. I was actually sponsored by a Chipotle when I trained in Milwaukee (the manager's choice, not so much the corp because quite a few were franchised) and there was also a nurse who skated with us competitively and I think he would've warned us if the food was that bad. I loved free burritos! Most of the risk of the restaurant chain were protein suppliers who had problems with e.coli contamination. Chipotle wasn't the only one, but it was hit the hardest.

I'm Mexican and I don't see how this is Mexican food, this or taco bell with those damn hard shell taco shaped tostadas. But I guess that's just a US thing, little Caesar's is probably considered italian food. A more typical Mexican food would be Mole, Sopes, Gorditas, tacos (of course), tamales etc, as for soup-like foods there's pozole, menudo (which i find gross) and other really good stuff. There's probably even better stuff i didn't mention, but that's because I live right in the edge of Latin America.
