Chipotle CEO Brian Niccol said the company is addressing portion sizes after finding 10% of its locations were skimping.

If you’ve felt your burrito was smaller than it should be, smaller than in the commercials, the CEO agrees.

    I wonder how bad their financials are if the CEO is publicly speaking out about this problem.

    Chipotle used to be my favorite restaurant, but the last time I ate there was probably 2019. It just stopped being worth the effort of trying to get a full bowl.

      It shouldn’t really require effort. If I wanted to expend effort, I would cook this shit at home. Which is what I actually do do, because fuck fast food price gouging.

      I remember that chipotle was the restaurant for college campuses. Early 2000s and into the 2010s. But then…it became shit.

      Other companies came in and they were better and cheaper.

      Now I only go to Chipotle when I’m on the road and literally can’t find a better place. Hell, I’ll go to McDonald’s before I go to Chipotle.

      They fell so hard.

        Pretty sure they got acquired by McDonald’s around that time. So, no surprise there really.

      Coincidentally, 2019 is when they got a new CEO, laid off almost all the corporate personnel and moved from Denver to Newport Beach. Weird that decapitating the company would have an effect on it…

      I want to know what they did with the rice? Like it’s mushy and or has the wrong flavor. I think it used to have some lime juice in it, but now the rice being bad just overpowered the whole thing.
