I WORKED FOR THIS COMPANY BRIEFLY AT THE LOCATION IN AVENDALE, ARIZONA. THE APPRENTICE TRAINEE MELISSA HAS ZERO SKILLS AT HER JOB. SHE TREATS THE EMPLOYEES LIKE DIRT. NOT ONLY THAT, BUT SHE SERVES EXPIRED CHICKEN FOR LUNCH TO HER CUSTOMERS BECAUSE SHE WAS CONCERNED WITH SAVING MONEY ON FOOD RATHER THAN THE CUSTOMERS HEALTH. THE RED BASKETS THAT THEY SERVE THEIR FOOD IN, ARE NEVER SANITIZED. SHE NEVER MAKES SURE THE EMPLYEES WASH THEIR HANDS AND REPRIMANDS EMPLOYEES IN FRONT OF A LINE FULL OF CUSTOMERS. SHE WAS A PREVIOUS EMPLOYEE AT ANOTHER CHIPOTLE A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO, AND WAS FIRED BECAUSE IT WAS NOT DISCLOSED THAT IT WAS HER MOTHER THAT HIRED HER AND HER SISTER TO WORK AT THAT STORE. SHE WAITED FOR ALL OLD EMPLOYEES TO LEAVE BEFORE SHE REAPPLIED FOR THE POSITIN NEGLECTING TO TELL HUMAN RESOURCES THAT SHE WAS FIRED BEFORE FOR LACK OF ETHICS. AND LYING ON HER APPLICATION. I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND NOT TO EAT IN THE UNSANITARY ENVIRONMENT, AND DEFINITELY DO NOT SEEK EMPLOYMENT AT THE AVONDALE, ARIZONA LOCATION AT 99TH & MCDOWELL.

My daughter and I had lunch at this location on 1-4-09. It was the first time my daughter had been to one of Chipotle's restaurants. We both ordered burritos and dined in the restaurant. About half way through her burrito, my daughter bit into an extremely sharp rock that was in her burrito. The rock was between 1-4" to 1-2", in other words easily seen by those preparing the food. It is the most dangerous object that I have ever seen in any food. We immediately informed the staff at the restaurant. The manager was not present so we could not speak directly to them. We have followed up with the District Manager who directed their insurance company, Gallagher Bassett Services, Inc to contact us. To make matter worse, they offered a coupon for a free burrito. We have written to the head office in Denver, CO and have not even had the decency of a reply. This company does not have high food standards and does not care about the health of their customers.
