Chipotle Mexican Grill in Temecula

“An appreciation post for the employees that worked closing shift 8/26/24 !!!!!!!! Your kindness changes lives’!

Last night after the gym I had a CRAZY chipotle craving… so I came in about 20 minutes before closing with a to-go order placed. Anyone that works/worked food service knows how annoying that is as an employee - but they still treated me w/ so much love and care. Im a broke college student so I got chicken bowl. (bc it’s the cheapest protein I like) To my surprise, they were out of chicken. The staff was sweet enough to upgrade my bowl to barbacoa. (It was what I had originally wanted.) Not only that, but there was a burrito that was leftover from another order. The beautiful girl that made my order passed it on to me for free. I was so appreciative. I was then driving by men’s wearhouse and saw a homeless woman walking in the parking lot. I immediately passed the burrito on to her. I had originally went to chipotle with the mindset of “well, I wish I could get my usual order” - and I did. Most importantly I got to be a vessel for that sweet girls act of kindness to make it to its destination! In the hands of someone that appreciated it more than anyone else. It’s really easy to judge customers as an employee - I was never one to do that! It’s so easy to think someone wants disrespect your time - but shoutout to those who don’t. Shoutout to those that see the beauty in passing love, positivity, and gestures forward. Shoutout to those that try to maintain that attitude even 20 minutes before closing. Shoutout to you two working front of house - you know exactly who you are! You turned a really stressful and financially unstable situation into a grounding experience that reminded me in the power of human connection & synchronicity. Never lose ur light!“

“Need stop hiring high school employees
They don’t care about the job.
Probably manager don’t have enough experience to manage this restaurant. If I was the owner I would fire all the lazy employees!!!! And hire people who is willing to work. You’re loosing money for hiring young people who don’t care.“
