[...] I asked the man behind the counter if the Steak Nuggets were such a hasty retreat because they were unpopular with his diners. He said the following: “Well, we were one of the last stores to have those things, because nobody bought ’em.”

Ten or so years ago in fitness circles, the "hack" was to go to Chipotle and get just a double serving of steak a la carte. It was a cheap way to get a really good amount of protein when you were out.

Can't have anything without capitalists running it into the ground for profit.

Haha! I was going to share this as well!

We used to go to Qdoba, chipotle, Baja fresh and just order pure ingredients! It's not on the menu, and it was like $2-3. Used to order that, make my own rice, veggies, etc... and feed all my roommates for the same price as a burrito combo.

Now it’s on the menu. While you can still ask for double meat in your burrito, you can also order a “protein bowl” that starts with double meat

I just go get a couple of tacos. Tacos are better than chipotle.

The tacos are at chipotle

Kind of. Nobody orders them and the staff look at you like you are insane if you do.

Nah, street carts and tiendas. Lots of us around several cities.
