Ran over to Chipotle for lunch today.  Chipotle has been expanding all over the place and I have a feeling it’s starting to have a detrimental effect on their business.  I used to joke that I moved to Reston Town Center just because I could walk to the nearby Chipotle.  The food is good, service is fast, and the price is right.  That said, soon after I moved into my current house in Fairfax, they put a new Chipotle in nearby… but not, unfortunately, close enough to walk.  For whatever reason, the service at my new Chipotle is markedly slower than any other Chipotle I’ve ever visited.  I’ve spent 45 minutes waiting in what the same line would have taken 10-15 minutes max at the Reston Chipotle.  This doesn’t seem to be an isolated  aberration as they recently also put one across the street from my office — the one I went to this afternoon.  Unfortunately, the staff at this Chipotle seem to come from the same vein as the ones from my Fairfax Chipotle as the line moves at a snails pace.  I’m starting to suspect that there are a limited number of Chipotle people and they’ve now had to resort to the “B” teams to staff their new locations.
