Chipotle manager+staff tells these customers they have to pay first lol (Up: Tweets Change Story)
- Thread starter Mr. X
- Start date
The manager basically got in hot water when she deviated from policy which is usually to just let em bounce and then calls the cops
Just for liability/PR reasons
For violating corporate policy? The policy exists to protect the company and its employees.
Companies don't let any employee play batman because it isn't worth the risk.
If we're talking about media outcry, then fine, if we're talking about people participating on this forum giving the benefit of the doubt to the Black person, then you lost me.
Your stance seems to be that as long as somebody might lose their job no matter what, you're not going to believe a victim without hard evidence. In this case you happened to be right, but more often than not, racism or other situations like this are real and you would be wrong. But I bet your remain silent and only chime in when it turns out you are right.

More like defending thives and media outcry because they are black and we can't accept to be wrong because it would hirt the greater case or something like that.
Exactly.
1 egg wipe vs 10000000000000000000000000000000000000 threads. Thats a pefectly fine ratio. Its nice to see people so excited about the outcome of this.
Yup, anything to validate their thinking of racism is dead and people of color are just lying about their experiences. Confirmation bias at it's best. Ignore the 1000000000000 articles, stories, evidence, etc, but believe the one time it's bullshit.
What greater cause?
You think many are just "acting" the part in defending minorities when these incidents occur?
Why'd you want people calling the cops for such trivial shit? Like this is the remit of being a manager. Dealing with problem assholes. She did so in a really calm way and actually gave them a chance.
Feel like I'm taking crazy pills. The assertion that she did anything worth losing her job over is mental.
I spent a good chunk of my 20s working in the restaurant industry. So, I am always going to consider the shit that other restaurant workers have to put up with. The beginning of this thread shows how many posters have never had to deal with shitty customers in the kitchen when they immediately throw the staff under the bus.
I don't think that a lot of people realize that companies have policies over this kind of stuff. Unless you're working in a private spot, you don't get to change the policy as you see fit. You don't get to refuse their orders because cutting and chopping hurts your wrists. You make the food, take it to the register and handle from there. This doesn't make anything that happened any less wrong though, but folks gotta stop acting ninja is talking crazy when he's not far off.
You mean the last similiar thread I posted was about that black dude who was blocked from entering his own apartment by a woman. And I wasn't doing the things you are claiming. So you better posts some quotes before moving from one strawman to another one.
We don't know that for sure, but, it does seem likely. What we do know is that they have discussed doing it in stores before on twitter.
It's peculiar to me that this story turned the way that it did. Because as someone who's worked in food service, in a management role, my first thoughts reading about this was even with it being true that these dipshits were actual thieves of that Chipotle, the manager still handled it wrong.
In most establishments it's encouraged to handle rowdy situations as quickly, calmly, and with as little unnecessary action as possible. And yes, to call the cops at any signs of pushback. In this case, after multiple instances of these guys stealing, I'm going to assume that this Chipotle has cameras, which means the affirmation of video evidence would hold some weight. So instead of coming up with some overly dramatic and on-the-fly policy change that can easily be spun out of your control (and was, as was saw), what this manager should have done was calmly state, "excuse me, but we have multiple instances of you stealing from our restaurant on camera. I'm going to have to politely ask you to leave." And that's it. You do not engage further than that, and you definitely do not let your staff pile on and react.
These boys still want to film her and give her a nickname? Good luck with that, because they'd still have to film you calmly telling them (and then the cops), "I have video footage of these men stealing from our store."

Why are you so sure? You tell them to get out, that they're not being served, dudes turn on the camera phones and pull the same shit. She's certainly not going to make the situation better by telling them they're not being served because they're thieves or some shit.
Manager was in a tough spot, I don't fault her if these dude were finessing the fuck out of the store.
Once the tweets came out, everyone in this thread flipped. No one here is defending them anymore. If you're concerned about those that are, sign onto Twitter and have some conversations with people who have gotten the update but are still blindly defending the boys.
It still hurts black people though, because racists are just going to use this incident as proof that their skepticism of systemic racism is correct.
If you're upset that black people are understandable concerned about the optics of this, despite still admonishing those boys as assholes, then all I can say is that that sentiment is also mired in an apathy that does fuck all for us at the end of the day.
Personally, nothing about the way she acted stuck out as "racism". When someone is being racist they typically seem very offensive. This lady was mostly keeping to herself. A racist would've went on a tirade as soon as they claimed racism. Just my thoughts.
It still sucks that people are still going after the manager for some reason. Oh, no, she deviated ever so slightly from company policy in a rare situation!
"Customers order their food and pay after it's been prepared" is 100% their policy. That's the policy she broke.
And what were you posting in that thread? I'm assuming you posted " this woman could lose her job so I'm not going to believe this man until we have all the facts" and after "well I was wrong".
It doesn't though. Only racists don't see black people as individuals so this incident can't muddy the waters for you if you're not a racist.
What these people did have no baring on any future incidents of racism black people experince.
I'm surprised about the lack of empathy for the manager and employees. It's easy as a bystander to say "buh buh buh she should've just followed the policy and she'd still have a job", as if that accurately depicts the position she was placed in in a notoriously difficult industry.
Well maybe she should have called cops. Although that could've backfired too. Shit situation
So that's the issue then, we just can never accept a black person is wrong because doing so would hurt "the cause"?
We don't know that.
It is when you can come on to one of the instances where someone made something up and cast doubt on all other claims. I'm all for knowing the facts and I typically do, but in this case, it seems like some folks just wanted a chance to chastise others even though everyone thinks the guys are shitty for what they did.
This case just shows that some people are completely incapable of looking at this case as an individual case of thieves who happen to be black and still trying to discussit as an example of racism.
Individuals do not live divorced from the social and cultural forces that govern their lives.
Sorry.
This is true. Someone that is being racist in public would have no qualms letting the whole world know about it...
Yeah somebody should really do something about that poster, Era. They are out of control. How are they not banned, I mean honestly?
Idk it seems pretty clear when you look at the tweets and the comments from staff in the videos.
"Did you ask them to pay up front, even though that's not how we operate?"
"Yes."
/investigation
Yeah, not seeing red instantly means that I don't believe black people. Like I said on one of my earlier posts there is a line between outcry and not dismissing someone's claim but waiting for more information to make an own picture of the situation.
The problem is they didn't technically steal.
They likely get the food up to the register and then fall back on a story about why they can't pay. Then the manager either has to throw out that already made food, or just let them take it without paying. So she had let them take it before without paying, but this time she chose to say they had to pay before she would bother making it.
Calling the cops to say "these people took food without paying because I let them do it" isn't going to get you very far.
it is a shame that one man crying wolf discredits hundreds of years and millions of people suffering, but that's just the way the world is.
If that's the way it went, talk about iron fist...
Unless this manager has a track record of screwing up, it's wrong to fire her because she slipped up one time in a rare instance.
Honestly. That's likely exactly what happened.
I feel for the manager because these dudes were, in fact, thieves. But that was a dumb way to react. Especially since Chipotle is corporate, not a mom-and-pop that probably doesn't have every policy nailed down in writing.
said no one ever in this thread. But I need to talk in strawmans to have a point.
