the chipotle subreddit is fascinating. every single post is about how the portions are bad or the food is undercooked but they also all say they eat there like 5 times a week

You may want to sit down for this but...this is most subreddits for [brand/media/games/company] etc. A beautiful glimpse into the soul of our country. I try to keep these people in mind every time I think about Politics
They're doing due diligence. If they only had it once, they'd have only a small amount of evidence to support the claim that it's bad. They're providing us with copious data and I, for one, am grateful.
I will never get the portion complaints because the burritos are always shaped like a propane tank, if you add queso I don't understand how you can eat a second meal that day
I’ve noticed this to be true of most subreddits. Even YouTuber subreddits, like 70% of the posts are “they’ve fallen off/they used to be so much better”, yet they still all seem to watch every single video as it comes out.
Bike advocates have been saying for years

A polarizing place for sure. Once a frequent visitor I once walked in, got in the typical 3-4 minute line and felt a cold chill.
Took that as a sign turned and left and have rarely been back.
my favorite post there is when someone tries a "life hack" of putting their online order name as "thank you [whatever they call the backroom crew]" and they still get skimped on portion
I truly don't understand anyone who actually likes chipotle. maybe once a year I'll darken their doors wondering if they've added salt or spices to their food at all, only to recognize that it is still bland white ppl food. idk maybe mine nearby just suck but even taco bell is better than chipotle 🤷
The primary narrative of every brand-specific subreddit is either “these products I compulsively buy are terrible and getting worse every day” or else “here’s what the haters don’t understand.”
We have a chipolte downtown. Never been in it because there's multiple decent Mexican restaurants in my area. And if I just want a burrito there's several good local places instead.
chipotle is incredibly location-specific. the one by my office is fast, consistent, and somewhat generous with the portions. a chipotle next to a college campus is the opposite. mobile ordering is also shooting yourself in the foot.
tmi maybe but i ate at chipotle for the first time in years on march 5th and since then my ass is broken and i’m going to the doctor about it today, conclusion: i do not endorse chipotle
every fast food subreddit is phenomenal. nerds sharing wedding photos from taco bell. dominos employees earnestly sharing feedback on each other’s pizzas. wendy’s fans spending weeks rageposting about the disappointing crabby patty.
definitely, it was just funny because every single person needed to try it for themselves and express disappointment even though it was already well established that it was just a dave’s with thousand island
i actually think this is extremely illuminating about modern american life, like peering into the tide pool of humanity as an eldrich god, observing the organisms below who remain wholly unaware of your existence
As a 4X player, it can take a couple hundred hours to really be sure. That’s like four runs of Stellaris, a game where they’ve had to redesign every system from scratch at least once.
When I said Cyberpunk was an awful game people told me over and over to try this and try that until I was over 300 hours in and still saying it was awful, and then they were like "yeah sure the game you played for 300 hours was awful" and now I have even bigger trust issues
There is a website called I Was Poisoned where people report restaurants they get food poisoning at and every report is "I eat at this taco Bell 4 times a day and keep getting brain amoebas."
Crazy thing to me is the relentless whinging about prices at Chipotle. I can get a chicken burrito at my Chipotle for $8.65. That’s incredible value! And it’s not even that much more expensive than when these people last considered the price of something (2006).
i’ve wanted to enjoy reddit but every time i go it seems like every subreddit is just a place for people to whine and complain non stop about the things they supposedly enjoy
I don't get it either. Like I'm not even in a major metropolitan area and I can think of a few places that do the entire chipotle schtick but way better. I refuse to believe there's large parts of the country where there's a Mexican food desert and chipotle is the only place you can get it.
I work with a bunch of chipotle fanatics *in Chicago* and I'll just say that I know exactly why they don't want to go to a Mexican restaurant run by actual Mexicans
I honestly consider it an entirely different genre, if I want Mexican food I'd go anywhere else but if I just want a stupid big burrito it or one of the similar chains are decent every once in a while

It went straight through me like it was prepping me for GI surgery.
or like, and local actual mexican place that would be 1000x better but we both know that would be "too spicy" (;;;・_・)
My favorite was the one that was like "if they're going to give us less they should shrink the bowl size"
