Apparently I order an “NPC Burrito”
Placed an online order and when I went to pick it up they hadn’t yet made it 🙄. The kid behind the counter grabbed my receipt to make it and when he looked at my order he snickered and showed his coworker who also laughed and whispered that it was a “NPC type burrito”. I looked her in the eyes to show that I’d heard her and to spook her a bit. She just laughed and walked away.
I’m pretty sure after I checked out I heard her say “you should have pressed x to skip dialogue” or something like that. I’m older so they probably think I didn’t understand, but I’ve been a gamer longer than they’ve been alive. I’m still here and am trying to work up the courage to say something before I leave.

I disregard my last comment. You somehow did in fact order an NPC burrito. My condolences.

The other day the person in front of me got a burrito with just beans. Only beans. they kept asking for more scoops.

I was ready to defend you until this. Like, Chipotle doesn't actually have that many options or ways to shake things up a bit. That's Moe's territory (as far as I know, I haven't worked at Chipotle since 2017). Every regular burrito will be an NPC burrito. But no corn? No onions and peppers? Salsa? Guac I can understand (costs extra (≖_≖ )) but c'mon mannnn...actually never mind, you do you.

Lol I do a bowl with chicken, double brown rice, fajita veggies, pico salsa and cheese. I am indeed a baby about spice but it tastes good to me and is healthier than most other fast food type options tbh. 🤷♀️

yeah they were rude but find solace in the fact that you don't have to work at chipotle lol that should be enough for you to not to feel that bad about this.
also, that order is shameful I'm sorry.

Npc af homie. Are you averse to certain ingredients or textures or something? If that’s all you get in your burrito you might as well get a chicken quesadilla and add rice. That might actually taste better and no one would call that NPC.

ButthealedInTheFeels
Loooool. You have to be trolling…no one seriously orders this at chipotle.
Eat some damn veggies bro.
Let me guess you order plain buttered noodles at Italian restaurants? Or do you just ask for the kids menu and get chicken nuggets? 😂

They are quite literally the NPC in this interaction. They stand there waiting to be interacted with, they're limited in what they can say and do, and the entire interaction is essentially scripted, with only your inputs mattering.
You could have ordered just water, but the NPC is the one that has to take that order and perform their script.
They're down and they're punching up at the only person they could manage to.

Certain chipotles used to give a discounted rate for 3 item burritos. Not all of them, but I used to order this exact thing and it dropped the price down from $8 to ~5 ish iirc. I imagine corporate shut that down eventually.

AlfieDarkLordOfAll
I think you're talking about the 3-pointer system. Meat/guac/queso are all two points, and everything else is 1 point. So just a rice and chicken burrito would could as 3 points and be cheaper, but a rice, cheese, and chicken burrito would be 4 points and you would be charged full price.
Individual cashiers who dont give a sht might still ring up a 4 pointer as a 3 pointer (assuming you just got 3 items), which is probably what happened in your case.

You seem knowledgeable about Chipotle points and items what is the delicious sauce in the small plastic container?

The chipotle honey vinaigrette! You can find copy cat recipes pretty easily online (you just need a blender) if you're at one of those stores that runs out of them constantly (like mine).

Idk why people order at places like chipotle and are scared of life. Get some salsa, get some beans, get some corn, like…..I’d make fun of you too if you said “uhhhhh yea chicken and cheese that’s it”. What a waste of money.

As someone who will eat just about anything and wants to spread the joy of food to everyone, I don't mind picky eaters. What I DO mind, and is arguably my BIGGEST pet peeve, are people who CONSTANTLY complain about how picky they are. Like, bro, what do you expect me to do about it? Does it hurt you to see me enjoy a wide variety of foods? Do you wish you could?

I grew up in San Diego. I like good Mexican food. I moved further north, but still in California, and still in a place with a high concentration of Mexicans. I miss good Mexican food.
A Mexican restaurant opened in our shopping center. All my coworkers were raving about it. They kept urging me to go. I was reluctant. It was still within a year of when I'd moved up here and I hadn't found any good Mexican food. Finally one day I forgot my lunch, so I went in. Got my lunch. Took it back to my breakroom and ate it. Got back from lunch and my coworkers were so excited to hear what I thought of this great Mexican restaurant. I said "it's okay, but it didn't hit the spot for me." They asked what I'd ordered and I said "a bean and cheese burrito."
They tried convincing me that the problem was in what I ordered. If I'd ordered a California burrito, or a carne asada burrito, I wouldn't think that. But here's the thing, a bean and cheese burrito is my litmus test. If they can't do a simple bean and cheese burrito right, why should I expect them to get anything right? The beans were tasteless, they used mozzarella cheese (not even jack...), and the tortilla was obviously store bought, even the salsa I got from them was just heat and no flavor.
I will admit, I did go there occasionally, and I did appreciate the street tacos they served. But, they never hit the "good Mexican food" itch, they were just different enough to what I'd order at home that I wasn't always comparing them.
Anyway, if I moved to a new place, I might get a bean and cheese burrito from Chipotle, to stack up how it does compared to the Chipotle I order from now, to see if I want to keep going there. Besides, while I like the veggies and rice and stuff if I'm getting a bowl, there's absolutely nothing wrong with a good bean and cheese burrito, and sometimes that's what you want.

xemmyQ
my dad does the same thing but with chicken fried steak. if a country/soul food place (we live in the southern u.s.) can't do it right then he won't eat there again. this can backfire too because a place that's essentially 3 hours away has a chicken fried steak that tastes exactly like my grandma's, his mom, who passed away about a decade ago. Made us cry lol
edit: typo

aybabyaybaby
If you want beans and cheese, go local or go to Taco Bell. Going to chipotle for beans and cheese is like going to Burger King for wagyu.

bestem
I usually don't go to Chipotle for a bean and cheese burrito (I tend to get a bowl; beans, rice, romaine, veggies, cheese, corn salsa, tomato salsa, whichever meat I'm feeling, + chips on the side). I do go to Taco Bell sometimes when I want a bean and cheese burrito. I also go to authentic Mexican restaurants that still make their beans with lard and their tortillas on the premises when I want a bean and cheese burrito.
But here's the thing... the beans at Chipotle taste different than the beans at Taco Bell (or at any of the Mexican food places), and maybe sometimes I'm craving Chipotle beans instead of Taco Bell beans, or Super Bronco beans, or California Burrito beans, or El Patio beans. Also, the bean and cheese burritos at Taco Bell are way super small, and sometimes you get more food from a bean and cheese burrito at Chipotle than you do from the same amount of money spent on bean and cheese burritos as Taco Bell (and it's definitely a higher bean to tortilla ratio at Chipotle).
So why not go to Chipotle when I want a bean and cheese burrito sometimes? Gatekeeping burritos... what a thing to be upset over where someone chooses to get a basic burrito.

Known_Profession7393
The Taco Bell bean and cheese burrito is actually pretty great. I remain a fan.

mggirard13
This analogy is just so wrong on so many levels. Local should be good but maybe isn't and clearly isn't in this case. Taco Bell is ass and Chipotle is only slightly better. "Go local or go to Taco Bell" doesn't make sense unless you consider local to be worse than Chipotle, or Taco Bell to be better than Chipotle.
Further, no comparison between a bean and cheese, the humblest of items, and wagyu, the least humble of items, makes sense.

Alert-Artichoke-2743
If they have sensory issues then the exciting stuff might taste bad for them.
For my part, I usually get things pretty loaded. I don't usually spring for guac, but get rice, beans, cheese, meat, sour cream, one of the hottest salsas, and most veggies. I might skip corn on a burrito to make sure they can close the thing. But that's me! People should pay for what they want to eat.

Its not shut down lol, its called a 3 pointer. Its a 1.50$ discount off of a normal entree

Hunny_senpai09
It’s because they stopped training cashiers how to ring up a 3 pointer. There’s certain chipotle locations that are more training focused and those still do that.

OP, remind yourself that they're just kids. If they're adults, well, they're working a food service line.
No disrespect meant to adults working in such positions, I'm not wealthy either- but I don't shit talk strangers over their food choices. You can't control the behavior of others, but you can change your perception of, and response to, their bullshit.
As a rule of thumb, if someone goes out of their way to insult/antagonize/bully a stranger, it's because they're miserable in their own life.

Weirdest part is you come here to post your experience but didn't mention your order at all? I'm sure it was just meat, some rice, light on the beans and some cheese am I right?
The amount of times i've been in which is already few and pay over $14 for food and see other people with no salsas, pico, lettuce, corn, etc etc is fucking insane.

Why all roiled? Just own it. Maybe quote some quirky dialogue option. I wouldn’t though. Maybe next time explicitly ask for the NPC burrito.

Heaven-247
All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. Due to our sin. Hell is the punishment
.“But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.” Revelation 21:8 KJV
but Jesus who is God. Came down to earth as a man lived a perfect life never sinned people got jealous of him got him convicted on false charges then he died buried and resurrected Remember how I said our sin is why we can’t go to heaven? The only thing that can wash away your sins in the blood of Jesus
“But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him.” Roman’s 5:8-9 KJV
So to get saved is super easy
“For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: not of works, lest any man should boast.” Ephesians 2:8-9 KJV
Salvation is a free gift by faith alone. You can’t earn it by going to church, getting water baptized, or by any good thing you do.
“For godly sorrow worketh repentance to salvation not to be repented of: but the sorrow of the world worketh death.” 2 Corinthians 7:10 KJV
Then you just have to feel guilty and sorry for being a sinner and repent for being a sinner. Do you feel guilty for being a sinner? If you do then there’s just one final step.
“that if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.” Romans 10:9 KJV
Pretty much all you have to do is tell God out loud with your mouth that you believe the gospel. That’s it super simple. You MUST mean it from your heart to work.
You can pray something like this “dear God i repent as a sinner. i believe jesus is God, who died, buried, and ressurected, so his blood can wash away my sins. so i only trust in the blood alone to save me not my good works. Save me from hell in jesus name i pray amen” If you meant it your saved!
