“I was about to say, Chipotle has potatoes?” one person wrote. Another said, “Chipotle workers act like it’s coming [out of] their paycheck [for real].”
However, employees of the fast food chain have come to defend themselves, claiming the smaller portion sizes are out of their control.
“Managers would come up behind you and yell at you for putting too much,” a former employee claimed. A second said, “As a former Chipotle worker I once had to come in an hour early for ‘portion training’ where the manager would watch me as I scooped and then weigh it.”
