Mojo In The Morning
The Great Debate About Chipotle
This is the Mojo in the Morning podcast, powered by Michigan Auto Law, auto accident attorneys. This is autolaw.com. That's autolaw.com. Oh, no. I'm sorry. Joe. You're putting a Joe in my head. 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. 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. You did. 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 bad. 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 the man of Chipotle. He goes to Chipotle every single day. They even represent you on the show and all this stuff. I'm having yesterday. I'm sitting over here waiting at these lots. 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? Yes. Shouldn't there be chicken constantly just roasting on their grill? Yes. 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, and 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. I witnessed 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. Y'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 Chip 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 smoking as I'm done all the time, I don't know. They are on time all the time. I never get up. When I pull up to the drive-through lane, I never get to oh, sir, by the way, we're sorry. I've never had it. There's a drive-through. They call it a Chipotle. The Chipotle lane. 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 subfreeties are always fresh. There you go. Hold on. 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 very good. It is. 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. We're holding them accountable and saying, "You're slipping a little bit." Okay. Here's... Slippin. So figure it out. Here's my thought. 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 if McDonald's doesn't have fresh fries, they'll make you fries and they'll bring it to your car. I think that... 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? Did they give me the option? It's a wait a while for your chicken or whatever it case was. I don't want to make it. No, you know what they said? I swear to you. This is what they said. Again, I went there and I went there at 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 I'm not. Oh my God. Look how many people ate. Like turn up. I will fight you. Give them the number. 24 Mojo Live, 844-65. 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. I don't 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. It is different. Chicken on a stick. Give me orange chicken. I like that anymore. Honey, well, not true. I am telling you. Hold on. Olivia wants to comment here. Olivia, which team are you on? Are you on team Chipotle or team Chipotle Sock or Chipotle Socks or whatever? I am with Shannon that regardless of they mess 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 for a year. 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 telling me that I need a chat with Pepper. They are an online chat. I don't want a chat with Pepper. Pepper? Who is Pepper? I don't. All the way back there and I talked to the manager and as I am sitting there, they mess up my order twice while they are remaking it and the people are like, wait, is that Olivia? No, that's Olivia's. I am like, are you serious? Then they walk up to me and hand me a cop and say, here is a free drink for all of us. Oh, a 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 it. I mean, listen, that's a mistake. Okay. They put sour cream on there. At least they had sour cream. I'm just, I just don't understand how you run out of stuff though. Josh, what's up? Hi. All right, Kevin. I'm sorry, but. Oh, it's my heart. The reason is almost every time you go. You get a bowl. They barely put anything on it. So I counteract. I'm like, I love that. 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 too much. Yeah. You're just unlucky, Josh. They don't want you to eat that much. They want. They're looking out for you when they do that undercooked rice. They buy. Oh, okay. All right. You know, I agree with that one. 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 you guys doing? You know, I'm doing great. You can tell. I'm totally history. What's going on? Well, I was, I'm on the same boat with you guys because I was on a long, long shift. Went to Chipotle at the craving. 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 like lettuce. I gave them the most disappointed look and they offered me the whole meal for free. Oh, really? That's good. Yeah. You don't want to refund. I want to go. Yeah. No, that's a good idea. I want to. Nothing tastes better than free. Yeah. That's not true. Hold on. Brent says this happens at other restaurants. Favorite food, Brent, Brent says, Brent says, where did this happen, Brent? Went to, we went to KFC, granos towards air clothes in time, but they had no chicken. How does KFC run out of chicken? I went to a Popeyes once that didn't have chicken and it was like 6 p.m. and they said our manager forgot to order chicken, but the rare beings 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 off on all sorts of sides. I'm like, uh, no thanks. We're trying to hear for a full meal now. It's a mashed potato meato, but savory savory's on your side with a name like that. How could she not? So Paul, they can never do me wrong. Yes. You've never gone in and had them say they don't have anything. Um, well, this is when I go to one particular location by me. So I am in Shobha Township, like Harrow area. Okay. So they closed that tent and there's one right by my house that goes to 11. I went there and they were out of everything. We were supposed to get free, chips and salsa, got the salsa, no chips. So I will stick to my regular location right on Harrow. It's kind of by Lakeside Mall and it's circled. Okay. And by the way, it must be a manager thing or whatever, whoever their manager is is good. By the way, it's sad news. Lakeside Mall closes for good this weekend. Oh, yes. I know. One last walkthrough of me and my old one is going to do one last walkthrough of my manager. Everyone who used to work at A&W cute, we're going to do one last walkthrough. I love some A&W hot dog in a room. Yeah. Shout out to those guys. Where is the Ford stamping player? What city? Ford stamping plant. You got me. Hold on. Is that Dearborn or something? No, it's got to be like Warren. I think it's Warren. Is it Warren? I could be wrong. Have an equal please. Wherever the Ford stamping plant is, that Chipotle is the best Chipotle. Why do you say that? Oh my God. Because I hit that one usually on my way back home from Toledo. It's way than it's not. No, it's not. Wayne. No, it's a way. Yeah. Ford. Yeah. Cause it's on your way from Toledo. So that's perfect. That one's the one. That's the one. Never had a bad experience there. You had Chipotle. And what did they say to you? How are you guys doing? Good. First time call it a long time. Hey, I'm sorry I ran out of air horn. Go ahead. You're good. But me and my girlfriend, she loves Chipotle and I, my mom was a big Chidoba 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. 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 my own. That's crazy. Close for the day. By the way, we're done for the day too. It's over. We'll see you guys tomorrow. Woodhaven. The one in Woodhaven is the best. Okay. We're right. We're right. We're right. We're right. Sorry. Sorry. I just want to be clear. We've done their credit. Okay. Okay. Good. Dallas went to a burger king and they ran out of burgers. This is unbelievable. It was probably pushing a chicken sandwich. What kind of a king is that? Huh? It's crazy. I want the burgers. Yeah. Yeah. Say they're out of burgers. You should just change their name. Oh. I actually have a question for you, Mojo. Yes. So I know you talked about the guac at Chipotle. So I wanted to ask, why do you go to Chipotle when Cudova has free guac? You don't have to pay for it. Because the guac at Chipotle is worth paying for it to the guac at Cudova. It's so good at Cudova. No, it's really good. I walked into a Cudova one time because I had to. We were actually on a road trip and that was the only food on the side of the road. And I'm not going to lie to you. I felt a little dissatisfied. I almost felt like I would have been better off just not eating. Yeah. No offense. I feel bad. She has nothing to say. I apologize. Yeah. Take your hard. You don't need to say anything. And like Megan or like Shannon said, it doesn't make a difference how free it is. You know, the only half in food I want is food.
