I'm just waiting to see if we get to match the OOP rant with a Karen meltdown in real life posted online somewhere. This has a lot of "I yell at minimum wage workers" energy.
This greatly amuses me since I grew up on the S. Side of Chicago, often hanging out in "Lil'Mexico," so I've had countless different types of Burritos, from countless different places both public & private, spanning like half of fuckin Chicagoland, yet I've never seen this. How the fuck do you mislayer a burrito? Unless it was intentionally as like a joke or outta spite (one of my ex's mom LOL). -_-
Years ago my son and I ate at a "Burrito place" in a food court in Washington D.C. My six year old needed to tell the guy who made his burrito how good it was, this 17 year old kid comes out and explained his burrito construction process to us both. pretty mut play that first rant in reverse and that's what this guy described.
I went to a place once that they dumped all the ingredients you wanted into a big stainless steel bowl as you were going down the line. Then they stirred them all up and put it into the tortilla.
So my man... You eat a burrito with a fork. Why do you think they give you a red chili and a green chili sauce with the burrito? For you to just unwrap and pour inside? If the sauce went inside, it would be served inside. You are doing yourself a DISSERVICE not eating your burritos fully smothered.
"This is the end...My only friend, the end..." --Jim Morrison of The Doors, perhaps about a shitty California Burrito that had one end filled completely with Spanish rice.
You know, I honestly don't know whether this is a true story, or something somebody made up as a creative writing exercise. But honestly, I don't care. If it is a wholly made-up story, they made it up well enough to be plausible.
Sigh. I now fight the urge to correct any server who doesn't get this exceptionally basic concept. The internet has ruined me, because a burrito rolled in the above manner is just awful, and so delightful when done properly.
the funny thing is, this guy argues about "A chance to get a bite with two different ingredients" but a tortilla is an ingredient, so two different ones is pretty much a guarantee.
FWIW, some burritos are either too big to eat with your hands or are so covered in sauce that trying to eat it with your hands wouldn't be worth the ridiculous mess you'd make. In those cases, you would eat it with a fork, but that kind of oversized, oversauced burrito is not what this post is describing.
Did this to a guy who came in & flipped his lid that the 4 of us couldn't stop & take his order RIGHT NOW 'cause he wasn't gonna use the self help kiosks. Was supposed to be a super slow day that turned out to be a mad busy lunch rush. Line of cars wrapped round building, lobby packed, 20 min waits, on the last backups of cheese/lettuce, proteins running low meaning someone needs to cook soon leaving 3 people up front to keep making items, our 10/30 min breaks not being able to go out on time
the terrible flight characteristics of a burrito are rendered moot by the minimal amount of thrust and guidance required for successful intercept at close distance, e.g. the basic calculation using 10:1 target distance to burrito length
See this is the thing about ongoing misery like stress, or chronic pain. You get really good at dealing with all the daily shit but it's an absolutely finite resource and you cannot accommodate further suffering. Spine grinding bone on bone day after day for five years? Yeah I'm used to it let's go jogging. Small poke from an unflattened staple? Tears and impotent rage for two hours.
I feel this in my soul. I live in the middle of nowhere. If I want it I have to cook it. On the RARE occasion I pay for food, if it sucks I feel cheated in ways a spouse can’t accomplish.
I always eat my burrito with a knife and fork because I cover it in salsa (Hopefully tangy tomatillo salsa). Who wants burrito juice dripping down your hand? Who wants to ad salsa as they go, applying a little to each bite? Have you ever accidentally bitten on a piece of tinfoil? Fuck that noise. See you hell!!
Always thought about that when I come across this. You'd have to go out of your way to make a burrito like that. This person clearly has some writing chops, but I could totally believe it if they like this 100% of the time and the type of person to be an ass to a restaurant worker. That burrito was made with spite - not idiocy
I wonder if the burrito is not a victim of intentional ineptitude. "Least I could do." A philosophy of minimalist general disobedience, if you will. Demoralize and disrupt through annoyance and irritation. Task or action technically correct, but barely acceptable levels of competency. Technically it was, in fact, a burrito. Despite the customer's outrage, it's...still a combination of ingredients resembling the advertised product, which has been artificially enhanced for promotional use anyway.

The hiring process at Chipotle…
“Do you know how to fold a burrito?”
“No.”
“Have you ever even seen a burrito?”
“No, I can’t say as I have.”
“Welcome to the team!“

HighSorcerer
No burrito is too big, but I agree about sauce-covered. Put the sauce IN the burrito ffs, that's what the tortilla is for.

yeah I never read the fork part either. Glad I decided to re-read it. laughing so hard I am crying. So glad I am not wearing makeup today

Some folks just need a good meal to sort their day out. To these folks a shitty burrito is a a meltdown inducing event.

Also “You are an idiot. Let me further explain:” is a hilarious opener to a rant.

Nothing wrong with using a fork on traditionally non-fork foods, however a fork will not salvage a foodcrime as dire as the one described herein.

Somewhere on the internet is a confession bear saying that a customer was being an asshole so I packed his burrito like a roll of Lifesavers.
