I will be as brief as possible, while trying to include all details that will assist you in making a decision that will allow you to decide if this is a place you want to patronize.
Where do I start? I guess I will start with the online process, so there you have it. I submitted and online order at about 2:05 Tpm on 06/25/2020. I was under the impression pick up orders were so that you just pick up the order, and go, with no wait time. Little did I know that is not the process with this Chipotle's location.
This is not the case, at least not on this date, at this Chipotle location. I placed and order for 3 people, as I was the runner. Upon arriving at Chipotle I noticed about 15 cars sitting in the drive thru pickup (already a red flag), so anybody's natural instinct is "Let me walk in and pick up my ALREADY PLACED ORDER". That was a joke.
Little to my surprise did i know if you place and order online, you will be ushered right on back out side, in the drive thru with the other 15 +cars, so what is the purpose of preplacing and order.
Well once I walked in and was ushered back outside in the drive thru with the rest of residents that live in Austell, Ga, I finally arrive at the window (I'm thinking Yea Me)! Not so. I arrived only to be told that our system is down, so I cant see your order that you placed, I sided eyed that lady (because this is beyond belief), as this is not acceptable.
My thought process was,I don't know lady, what was in all three orders, as I am just a runner and only placed one of the orders. The rest of the orders are for other people whose information I didn't not take, as I don't work at Chipotle, and I didn't know I would be pop-quizzed about orders that was submitted, I was only asked to pick up the orders.
The employee at the window stated I would have to provide her with what was ordered information. This is above my understanding, as I thought if and order is placed online you should know what was submitted. The lady reiterated their system was down (how often do we use that political BS Answer).
At this point I am calling people who placed the order, to find out what was ordered, but at this point this became a drive thru versus a pick up orders. Had I known I would have to repeat orders already submitted online I would have stayed in the line inside, and not allow myself to be , from the point where I got out of my car to walk in to pick up, THIS IS NOT MAKING SENSE TO ME.
My final thoughts are
CHIPOLTE PLEASE GET IT TOGETHER,
LETS GET A BETTER INTERNET PROVIDER, OR COMPUTER SYSTEM THAT ALLOW YOU SEE ORDERS THAT ARE SUBMITTED ONLINE, SO THAT CUSTOMER ARE NOT HAVING TO REPEAT ORDERS THAT WAS ALREADY SUBMITTED.
THIS IS ACCEPTABLE OF TACO BELL, NOT CHIPOTLE. If you guys can't seem to get it together, try closing for a few weeks, and I am sure after weeks of loss or revenue the OWNER will figure out how to Coach the Manager, so that you can get it together.... and be able to accommodate online orders that are submitted in advance.
THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE read more
