You can just order without explaning, its a restaurant, not a CIA interrogation.

Or just order in app and not have to talk much anyway...

I got the joke and all, but just on the side: if you get to the till and you're still in a call with your friend about their order then you are holding up everyone in the queue and pissing off the staff.

I have done this, except legitimately, for my wife. She texted me in advance, because Chipotle is Chipotle. People know what they want when they play the "initially fresh ingredients, maintained and prepared by teenagers" salmonella lottery.

Our intrepid overeater here could have just looked down a few times and got the same benefits.

Subway is the absolute worst for this.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago

that's what a CIA interrogator would say.

Would it be better to piss on the staff, or...?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

That would still beat "Okay Charlie, what do you want?" right when getting to the till.

I've gone in and ordered two when it was dead and no one was around, I just sat down and ate them at a table near the ordering line area and the staff watched me eat both of them. Nobody cared.

Pretty sure they took a photo of you. Then they hung it in the back of the store on their "Check out this guy" board. Under your photo, they wrote "ordered two, like a psychopath."

They also posted to chipotlebook, which is a secret social media platform for chipotle workers. Your photo has 12000 comments and 16823 laugh emojis.

Your photo was also shared in the Chipotle shadow council. There's a bean counter (pinto) noticing you're willing to buy two burritos and eat them in a single trip. He does some calculations, and realizes that money making opportunity here. Where the texmex realm mocked you, he sees you as his golden goose. The new "Double Stuffed Burrito" makes bajillions. He's been carrying your photo on his wallet.

The world cares more than you think.

They only start to car if you order one, sit down, eat it, then order another, sit down and eat it, then order another...

Little did doingthestuff know that from the 3rd meal on, they will not let you drive or operate heavy equipment.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago

I don’t think they would care about that unless there was a long line and you left no tip.

I saw a greentext nearly exactly like this at a dominos where anon forgot his backpack inside and when an employee broght it out to his car she saw him scarfing down his ""friends"" large pizza after eating an entire large pizza in the store

[–] [email protected] 22 points 1 week ago

They'll also never care.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 week ago

I suspect 90% of them don't care. The 10% that do care already judged me as soon as I walked in.

This sketch is my favorite of theirs and never gets old!

People think that service workers give a shit if you order multiple meals.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 week ago (2 children)

...oh. That makes no sense; do people not know other people? Does anyone care what someone else orders?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

This is why I always order two burritos, tacos and another burrito.

They'll never suspect I could eat all that, so it must be for a family, right?

I mean, I order two meals at places all the time, because I'm ordering for someone else. It's never even occurred to me that the checkout person might think I was eating both.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

Or that people, who live around like a couple of BKs close to eachother, just redeem one of those mailed-in coupons at a different BK then reap the rewards. Like it doesn't change the fact that they work a shitty job or anything.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 week ago

I definitely understand social anxiety but also it's a waste of energy to be worried that a fast food worker is going to judge you for being hungry.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I've been ordering two meals at a time since I was old enough to still order off the kids menu at Denny's. It makes eating out very expensive but never once have I or the server ever given a crap.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

I usually do it to have something delicious to reheat later

That's the one with the chicken.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago

I had a friend who either used to order am extra pop to hide she was buying two meals for herself.

Or she would go to two restaurants.

In my most shameful days, Subway (when it was good) ran 2 footlongs for $10. I felt terrible (emotionally), but I loved it

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago

I remember when that place wasn't shit and their burritos were worth it.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago

The banana hanger in the background is such an odd but... appropriate addition.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago

Boy, do I know where he’s coming from. 🙄

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

The real crime is that he skipped rice and beans when ordering his burrito

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 week ago

Is this loss?
