This is the Mojo in the Morning podcast, powered by Michigan Auto Law, auto accident attorneys. Visit autolaw.com. That's autolaw.com. Mojo in the morning. I'm going to say something very controversial right now, but I do not want to lose 50% of our audience. And no, it is not political, but I'm done with Chipotle. I can't do it anymore. What happened? I am done, done, done. I'm asking you like somebody died. What happened? What happened? All the kudob of people, even though I think you guys all have horrible taste buds. I'm coming over to your end of the world. I am. I just had it a few weeks ago. It was. All right. Let me tell you why I'm done with it. And Kevin's over there. Kevin's the, by the way, he's the ambassador of the country of Chipotle. I just want you to know that he is. He is the man of Chipotle. He goes to Chipotle every single day. They even represent you on the show. I'm having yesterday. I'm sitting over here. Wait, are these live? Let me explain. Oh, fact check me. Fact check me. I'm ready. Here you go. I went to Chipotle yesterday and they were completely out of chicken. How does that place always run out of what I want? And I go into the place and it's not like it's easy for them to just quickly make because chicken has some time to cook. Shouldn't they always have chicken? Shouldn't there be chicken constantly just roasting on their grill? Every time I go to Chipotle, they run out of what I want. Whether it be, sometimes I go in for chicken. Occasionally I do red meat and I like their steak or carne asadas. Every time I go to Chipotle. Also, I witnessed this the other day. I witnessed that they, and I wasn't going to get guac because I was a little cheap on that one. And I noticed that when I went there the other day, they didn't have guac. How does Chipotle run out of guac unless avocados are a short demand? Explain this to me. I've had bad door dashes from them. The past two times I've gotten Chipotle. It's been really, really bad and I've been so disappointed because I love it so much. Kevin. So much. Meghan. I will take Chipotle over keto but any day. Last time I was at Chipotle was last week. They didn't have veggies. They didn't have steak and they didn't have sour cream. You all have 10 things on the menu. Can't be out of three of them. I can't believe I'm in this room right now with three people who I've grown to admire and respect and to be sitting across from you all right now. I feel like I need to throw up because I'm disgusted with what's coming out of your mouth. Really? Chipotle? Chipotle has never failed me. I have a Chipotle that I go to on Hagerty Road that is about 10 or so minutes from the station. I pull up my app. I have my orders that are pre-populating because I go so often. They are on time all the time. If I quit, who's smoking is on time? That's all the time. I don't know. Somebody knows I'm talking all the time. Is that if that action's really like that? No. Yeah. They are on time all the time. I never get up. When I pull up to the drive-through lane, I never get an oh, sir, by the way. We're sorry. I've never had this. There's a drive-through. They call it a chipotle. The chipotle lane, yeah. What? You can't order. It's only for pickup. I've never had old guac. I've never had a steel chip. And my secretes are always fresh. Well, there you go. Hold on. Hold on a second. Here's the thing. No. That's why he doesn't run out of anything. Who eats a free test? Come on. It's a free test. Here's the thing, though. We all still love our chipotle. But I think that there needs to be an accountability check. Yeah. We're holding them accountable and saying, "You're slipping a little bit." Yeah. Okay. Here's slipping. So figure it out. Here's my thought. I was having this conversation with our boss, Tony. It's like going to a gas station and they have no gas. How do you go to -- you can't go to a gas station with no gas. It'd be like going to McDonald's and having no fries. At least McDonald's doesn't have fresh fries. They'll make you fries and they'll bring it to your car. I think they -- I'm sorry. Did they give you the option? It'd be like me not having a post Malone song. How can I not have a post Malone song? Did they give you the option? They give me the option. It's a wait a while for your chicken or whatever it carries you. I don't want to wait. No, you know what they said? I don't agree. I swear to you. This is what they said. And again, I went there and I'm going to throw it out. I went there like 140. That seems to me like it's still lunchtime. That's prime time. And they said, "It's going to take us a while. Would you like anything else?" They had nothing on the grill. You know how long it takes to cook chicken? I've cooked chicken at home and it takes me forever. 140 is not lunchtime, but it is post lunchtime. So maybe they had an incredible rush and they needed some time to prep. Listen, I'm not the only person on the list. Oh, my God. Look how many people late. Like, turn up. I will fight you. Can I tell you what it -- 844-Mojo live. 844-665. Chipotle, stand up. 6548. I've had such a disappointing -- I'm going to use that word. Experience with Chipotle that I've kind of replaced it. You want to know what's really great? Panda Express. No, I'm not joking. But I want Mexican food. Listen to me. Listen to me. Have you gone into a Panda Express lately? They're great. They've got the refrigerators full of all the fresh veggies. You see them doing it right there. They always are stocked. I was surprised. I was recommended and I'm like, "I'm not doing Panda Express. It's from, like, the mall." No, no. It's so good. No, no. I'm not going to stick. Give me orange chicken. I am telling you. I'm telling you. Hold on. Olivia, what's the comment here? Olivia, which team are you on? Are you on Team Chipotle or Team Chipotle Sock or Chipotle Socks? I am with Shannon that regardless of they match up, we still go back to Chipotle. We do. We love it. After yesterday, I think they are aware that I will no longer be going to Chipotle, which sucks because I just signed up for the celebrity card that I'll get to Chipotle every day. What happened yesterday? I did my online order. I went and picked it up. I get all the way to my location just to open up my order and it is smothered in sour cream. And I am against sour cream. And I'm like, let's call them and I can only talk to a robot. So I sat there and scream at a robot screaming representative. So then it was telling me that I need a chat with Pepper. There's an online chat. I'm like, "I don't want a chat with Pepper." I don't want a chat with Pepper. I turn all the way back there and I talk to the manager. And as I'm sitting there, they mess up my order twice while they're remaking it. And the people are like, "Wait, is that Olivia?" "No, that's Olivia's." And I'm like, "Are you serious?" And then they walk up to me and hand me a cop and say, "Here's a free drink for all the confusion." Oh, I drink. To wash it all down. I don't want your drink. And she's like, "Are you sure?" I'm like, "Yeah, put your drink back." I don't want it. I just don't understand. Listen, that's a mistake. They put sour cream on there. At least they had sour cream. I just don't understand how you run out of stuff, though. Josh, what's up? Hi. All right, Kevin, I'm sorry. But totally I started with my heart. The reason is... Oh, it's hard. Almost every time you go, you get a ball. They barely put anything on it. So I counteract it. I'm like, "I love it. I'm going to get extra everything. Extra rice. Extra chicken. Extra. You know what? You say extra chicken. They put two more pieces on there. They're saying that's too much. Yeah. You're just unlucky, Josh. They don't want you to eat that much. They're looking out for you when they do that. Undercooked rice. Oh, okay. All right. I agree with that one. That's a big issue. Can I tell you something? Chipotle running out of chicken is like Panda Express running out of rice. You can't run out of rice at a Chinese restaurant. I don't know where y'all going. I'm not having these problems. It's so location-based. It's not even funny. Anthony, what's happening? Hey, guys. How are you guys doing? You know, I can tell. I'm doing great. You can tell. I have Chipotle yesterday. What's going on? Well, I was... I'm on the same boat with you guys 'cause I was on a long shift. Went to Chipotle at the cravings. And they had like half the menu missing. Like they were waiting on a truck. Didn't have anything. They pretty much just had rice and like chicken. And maybe some lettuce. I gave them the most disappointed look. And they offered me the whole meal for free. Oh, really? That's good. You don't want a refund. I want a good meal. No, that's a good idea. Nothing tastes better than free. That's not true. Hold on. Brent says this happens at other restaurants. My favorite food. Brent says... Hey, where did this happen, Brent? We went to KFC and it was towards air clothes in time, but they had no chicken. How does KFC run out of chicken? I went to a Popeyes once and didn't have chicken. And it was like 6 p.m. And they said our manager forgot to order chicken. But the rare beans and rice though. How do you run out of chicken? You can't run out of chicken. Come on. It's a chicken. Seriously. Yeah. They were offered all sorts of sides. I'm like, no thanks. We're trying to hear for a full meal. It's a mashed potato meato. What's savory? Savory on your side. With a name like that, how could she not? So, Paul, they could never do me wrong. Yeah. Savory, you're telling. You've never gone in and had them say they don't have anything? Well, this is where I go to one particular location by me. So, I am in Shelby Township, like Harrow area. Okay. And by the way, it must be a manager thing or whatever their manager is. It's good. Devin, you went into Chipotle and what did they say to you? How are you guys doing? Good. First time call it a long time. I'm sorry. I ran out of air horn. Go ahead. But me and my girlfriend, she loves Chipotle. My mom was a big kudoba fan. And so we went to Chipotle. I was like, yeah, I'll try it. We go. It's like 12 o'clock. And the manager meets us at the door and says we're closing for the day. I was like, what? No. What the hell are you talking about? Well, and there was like four or five workers in there. I was like, there's no way. Was it a holiday or something? What was it? Oh, it was in the middle of the day. Unbelievable. Something. That's crazy. You don't do that. Which location was that? Um, it was a, I think it was 13 and mounds. That's crazy. Close for the day. By the way, we're done for the day too. We'll see you guys tomorrow. Dallas went to a burger king and they ran out of burgers. This is unbelievable. It was probably pushing the chicken sandwiches though. Said they were out of burgers. Oh, you should just change your name. Oh. [Laughter] Change your name.
