A Chipotle general manager and 4 of his employees quit after a surge of to-go orders drove them to t

[Tribal Outkast]

I really wish people would stop sayin' ignorant shyt like this.
Most of the people quitting just want a livable wage.
If the person flipping burgers now makes as much as the person who has a college degree, why is the person who has the college degree mad at the burger flipper, and not the company they work for?

I didn’t make that rule. It is what it is I want people to be able to make as much as they can. I mean I make enough to take care of myself but I want more. I got lucky too though cause I don’t have kids or anybody to take care of. I’m not the one mad about it.

As a person who works in a restaurant kitchen cooking, these digital orders are a damn plague on a lot off restaurants

This is true. It is one thing to make people in store or in the drive-through wait for in-store and drive-through orders. It is a whole Nother to make them wait because you have to prioritize online orders that go completely sideways if people show up to the restaurant and do not have their food. And unfulfilled online order goes completely against what the online orders are set up for so unfortunately they take precedence. The pandemic once again exposes another chink in the armor of the fast food business.

Why concentrate on digital orders though? Every time I go past a fast food restaurant and see a gang of Just Eat, Deliveroo & UberEats staff I walk past. They spend too much time on those orders than the people in the store.

Thats like 40 percent of their revenue more than likely and why their stock keeps going up yearly

Chipotle is caked up too! Their shares are $1300 each. The restaurant model as we knew it will be obsolete in the next 10 years. Pay doesn't reflect profits. And you can only automate so much of the process. A lot of places will fall by the wayside.

Speak on it...

Like for example, when we 86 items temporarily because off shortage, but these apps don't follow suit unless we permanently take the item off.

Cut off times for orders

One African restaurant I go to had to cut off Ubereats because they still had their old prices, even tho they've been trying to get them to change it for a year.

And also restaurants will always prefer in person guests then online

Why would a 15 year old kid need a liveable wage ?

There is no such thing as a kids job, unless it’s a summer job youth program that hires 12 to 16 year olds

Shareholders won’t like that

They'll like locations closing even less...

Unfortunately, shareholders would sooner see companies die and pull out what they can. Vulture capitalism is bigger than buyouts. Game industry is a big victim of this since lootboxes and dlc became a thing. Milk it till it bleeds and shut down the studio when the people dont buy anymore…on to the next. These people will not change the game unless forced by government and consumer sentiment.

These are part of the business conditions consumers will have to face. All the conveniences we have in this country might have to be rolled back in order to accommodate higher wages, and I’m not sure if the population is really ready for that.

Shareholder happiness is ultimately why we have shyttier conditions in this country. All to build paper wealth. It’s actually appalling once you think about it.

All the good ass authentic Mexican food in Austin and you go to Chipotle.

Some of y'all really buy into the idea of someday becoming Scrooge McDuck and lack empathy like a mf

It's in our nature as humans to work. The feeling of physical exertion towards a common goal is something that fulfills us all. Most people truly don't want to sit around all day. It's not natural

Humans also really hate to be exploited, and what we have now is exploitation on steroids. The American workforce had a decent thing going until the CEOs(who also happen to know/be politicians) got scientific in the various ways they could fukk their employees and now it's reached a tipping point. All of the brainpower goes towards maximizing profits, employee fulfillment be damned

Nikkas still late to the party and not seeing that everybody is fed up and cynical post covid. If you were already living paycheck to paycheck and now have a constant reminder of your mortality looming over your head you're probably gonna care a lot less about a job that barely had you above water as is.

On top of that consumer demand is at an all time high while the employees are still being treated like it's the 90s. The shytty logistics are breaking nikkas and the only people nikkas have sympathy for is the companies so hard nikkas are clinging to the dream that they too will be a sleazy millionaire that they're missing the forest for the trees just like their idols

People are giving less fukks at a rapid pace, and that cynicism is starting to affect bottom lines.

Simply reducing nikkas to bums because they're actively seeing how hard they're getting fukked and opting out is lazy thinking and won't solve anything. In fact its making it worse for YOU

How come 3 teens won't come together and make $45 an hour and share a place?
How do these teens help out around the house they're living in?

so are jobs not supposed to exist for the 15-20 year olds ? Everyone jsut supposed to make the same money rather 15 or 35 that is content living at the bare minimum ? No need to strive for more ? 32 hours a week (part time hours) would need to be around $15-16.

an extra $5 a hour across lets say 10 employees comes out to near $200,000 extra a year in payroll.

To scoop chicken.

We raised min wage in California and most jobs even chipotle and mcondalds now offer near $5 more hour than min wage.

Still cant find employees. The goal posts will always be moved.

the real truth is, kids just dont want to work anymore (although I do agree their should be a cap on how many orders a place should take an hour to maintain a healthy moral and workload. These places arent built for mass digital orders + being open inside, but this isnt a hourly issue, this is a logistics issue)

Y’all need to stop entertaining lames that post shyt like this. These dudes come in every topic about minimum wage and people trying to make ends meet and copy and paste this same babble.

Might have OT coefficient where you get OT but it decreases the more you work. I was a general manager in retail a decade ago.

And you’re speaking on shyt that you haven’t done in 10 years as if it’s gonna be the same
