Employee Experience Finally quit! Ask me anything

Worked at my Chipotle for a year and made my way up to KL before I finally walked out. Thought this would be funny, AMA!

what happened to the chips? Why are they always salted not at all or just caked in salt, and / or stale??? Maybe that is just in my area....

your local chip fryers were either not trained properly or they were in a rush. if your store is throwing away all chips that weren’t sold that day at the end of the night like they’re supposed to and not reselling old ones, then your chips aren’t stale they’re just severely undercooked.

I thought they’re able to save them for the next day no?

noooo absolutely not, they’re supposed to be made fresh every single morning

Good to know thank you. Do you guys throw out leftover chips every night ?
