Maybe don't union bust if you need so many workers?

Burrito season, according to Chipotle, runs from March to May

And, here I was stupidly referring to this time period as Spring!

Worst job I’ve ever had. Just an endless stream of people with no self control asking for “moaarr!” More chicken, more more more. And then their burrito is too fucking fat to wrap it up, so you wrap a big pile of slop into a little square of foil that’s busting at the seams. It’s a gross trough of slop that people stand over and gleet into with their mouth noises while poking the glass pointing at ingredients with their dirty fingers.

They should order the burrito bowl, it has more room for gluttony.

The trick is getting an overloaded burrito bowl and then two tortillas on the side.

Two burritos for barely more than the cost of one.

This is well placed marketing for Chipotle recruiting, restaurant turnover is often 200 or 300% year over year. That means the turn the entire staff of a given place over 2 or 3 times year. They have to do this all the time.

Citation: I worked at a chain that bragged about having only ~100% turnover year over year.

Chipotle needs to open for breakfast. They already have all the ingredients for breakfast tacos if they add eggs. Idiotas.

"season"? I eat at least two a week from my local taquerias

If you are eating them year round they are obviously not freshly picked from the tree, most likely stored in a climate controlled warehouse with nitrogen gas.

I mean you wouldn't eat spaghetti out of season would you?

Ah Burrito season, where my local place makes chipotle look like garbage!

If they just paid people $25+ / hour, they might not have as many people quit.

Great news for those Citi and Microsoft employees that just got laid off.
