This BOGO was different from all the others... The fine print on the offer allowed you to redeem *TWO* free items for this tragic event, so many people stalled the lines by purchasing FOUR burrito products (obviously a great deal for singles stocking up and families of four). Read more

Or, just possibly, food insecure.  Read more

strange how you needed to introduce race in your story? What was wrong with 5 young gentlemen came in got their free sandwiches and some idiot behind them thought he could get 5 free by buying 5? The color of the customers added nothing to the story! Read more

We had a big roll-out for a stupid new sandwich today, so every store gave away a free 6" Turkey Cali or whatever to the first 50 customers. It’s a pre-configured sandwich, so my GM decided to be a “bitch” (no, she was absolutely right) and wouldn’t let people get the sandwich without the bacon, guac, or fancy Read more

Meh, this is my permanent account, and I talk about current employers all the time. Even had some dumbass try to dox me by figuring out where I’ve worked, and huh...probably tens-of-thousands of Americans that have both worked at Tyson and Subway! Who’da thunk so many people have happened to work at the world’s Read more

Anyone waiting in line for 2 hours for the pleasure of spending 8 dollars for 2 poorly made burritos is a moron. Read more

Also how in the living fuck does saying “friends bogo” to a chipotle cashier have anything at all to do with vaccines? Read more

Chipotle manager here, located in the midwest. We were told of the BOGO a couple of weeks before the promo, but as is typical of these shit storms, we were given a “sales projection tool” to tell us what sales we should prep for. For my location, this tool told us to prep for a $4000 day. Um, what? During the summer, Read more

Can we all agree that the British royal family is the greatest soap opera in modern history? Read more

In all fairness to California, they’re not particularly interesting anywhere else. Read more

Unless the lines are all paparazzi, looking for them, I don’t see why them being around would make the lines longer. Read more

I suspect what they like about California is that they’re just not that interesting there.  Cool royals live there, but who cares about them when Ariana and Oprah are there.

The quality of the food is probably a higher priority for the folks who work there and have few, if any, alternatives to the hospital cafeteria. Read more

No one gives a shit about night shift, only thing they care about is that someone with a pulse is there so someone else doesn’t have to be. Those people do the job of 4 people overnight, but get shit on when it comes to special things.
“We ordered pizza for EVERYONE*!”
*Night shift’s pizza will be the kind no one wanted Read more

The problem has never been that they can’t provide quality food, it has been that they see no need to. Captive audience akin to Movie Theaters, where its this food or “lol, wait until you aren’t here and get something before/after, leave and come back,” etc.


They also say they want to push “healthy” alternatives, but Read more

Before my dad passed away, he was in the hospital for over 2 weeks. As a daily visitor, I did appreciate the cafeteria’s well-stocked salad bar, those water containers with fruit in the bottom that infuse the water, and other fresh options. It also had a nice view of trees. It helped make things about 6% better when Read more

Interns on call used to get trays delivered. You filled out a menu, just like the patients. I was on call on Thanksgiving, 1993. I ordered the turkey with all the usual stuff. My tray came with all the usual stuff. No turkey. They ran out. To this day, that remains the most depressed I have ever been. Away from my Read more

I have unfortunately spent way too much time in the hospital the past year as a visitor and the food is awful. Read more
