After an immigration audit of its payrolls, burrito chain Chipotle Mexican Grill lost 450 of its roughly 1,200 employees in Minnesota.
Now it’s dealing with the aftermath— rising turnover – as workers concerned about their documents might have decided to seek employment elsewhere — and grumbling customers because of slower service from new employees.
When you went in there before … the quality was great,” says a longtime Chipotle fan in Minneapolis.
“Now it takes forever. People are slopping stuff together.”
Other areas being targeted by audits include Virginia and Washington, D.C.
“It is very troubling for us to lose so many great employees,” said a company spokesman.
Ken’s Take: “Slopping stuff together”? Isn’t a burrito – by definition – stuff that’s slopped together?
Lighten up, dude …
