I ordered a barbacoa bowl for the first time on Sunday. OMG, that thing was good...especially as leftovers!

That's one thing (one of the many things) I appreciate about this shop. I can try new combos that I normally would not get.

Pua, what do you mean, "quality is all over the place?"

When I go to Chipotle on my own, I typically get chicken something or another. My husband got steak. Since I have started shopping, I tried carnitas, chorizo and barbacoa. I am impressed with all of the above!

There are no approved standards for chorizo on the form. I have had it chopped in large pieces, finely chopped and chopped in half-inch dice. I have it burned to a hard crisp on both sides; black on one side and grill marks on the other; no grill marks at all. It has been dry in the pan and in the pan with a lot of liquid so it looks stewed. Once it was so salty I couldn't eat it. I picked it out of my salad. It was inedible. "Quality all over the place." When it is good, it is very very good. When it is bad it is horrible. (To paraphrase the nursery rhyme.)

I think because it's new some locations may not have figured it out yet but there's def a standard, Chipotle has a standard for everything. My trainer went over each item's standard and in thorough detail with the meat. Unfortunately, I couldn't tell you because I was staring at the guacamole.

I can't blame you. I did one shop that had a long line. They ran out of trays, and there was no place to sit, even after 30 minutes.

When do the pay, I did training and a shop in January and nothing yet. I was thinking it was the next month. I have been looking for the thread "When companies pay" I guess I should sign on here more.

Thanks.

I guess, I don't know how to read their website. I looked on the payroll link. The total amounts are listed but nothing to specify as paid. I double checked the DD form I sent and checked that account as well.

I emailed the person and got a response to verify my DD information. Waiting on another response.

I know I heard at the training that payment was the month following, but I've slept since then. What I don't see is a FAQ link.

I was a full time shopper when I signed up for the Chipotle locations that I could shop. Now that I am working full time and shopping sporadically on the weekends, I am sure that I will need to decline some of the locations I initially signed up for. Is there any repercussion for declining?

Hijacking my own thread: when I lived in Los Angeles, Jack In The Box (FF) had a commercial for a chipotle burger. Jack's face got twisted when he tried to pronounce "chipotle." That commercial goes through my mind when I read this thread.
