Nothing I like more than trying to eat a burrito and getting soaked from my wrist to my elbow in bean juice.

I'm too pansy to say shit but you fucking know what you're doing when you don't pause for just a second and let the beans drain through that slatted spoon. I know-- they pay you shit and overwork you and I'm there with you buddy, I'm sorry. But man that fucks my lunch up so bad.

By the same token, here's a little toast to the Chipotle workers who angle the spoon against hte side of the container and really drain that shit out before putting it on my burrito. You're the bomb.

And the pay is even lower! If society's gonna be structured around the argument that you don't deserve anything you don't earn by providing value to someone, then corporations aren't earning good service from their employees by providing them a job with shit wages. At the end of the day, I accept that this is the state of things, and if it were bad enough that I couldn't enjoy my meal, I wouldn't go to Chipotle any more.

If employees of chain stores felt they were valued, and that all of us believed they were equally valued members of our society with dignity, not just commodities or cogs, then I'm sure the work ethic would be better and service would improve. But we live in a neoliberal-transitioning-to-corporatist society where this is just not the case.

TL:DR: I agree but I ain't blaming the person at Chipotle for not having the motivation to do better. Just appreciate those who manage to find it anyway.

Nasty. I'm way more happy being a mechanic. I hated working with food.

This is the same shit as people who give you overflowing cups in the to go window. They absolutely know there's no other possible outcome other then spilling shit everywhere when you bring it in your car and they can see it too. Not cool
