Chipotle Faces Boycott Calls
Reddit's r/Chipotle community.User Extreme_Paper5550 said they're a 23-year-old college student working for the Mexican grill.
According to their post, they were written up for "accidentally misgendering" a new employee during training."I would say I'm known for being pretty friendly," the Redditor wrote."But I was recently training a new hire (somebody I've never met in my life mind that), and as I'm showing them how to set up line I say 'oh bro we never move anything without gloves.'"They snap back and say 'my pronouns are they/them use them correctly or don't talk to me.' I take a step back and go throughout my day without speaking to the little s***."Later into the shift, the general manager pulled the poster aside.
The new employee had reported them for "misgendering harassment.""[The manager] said his hands are tied," Extreme_Paper5550 continued. "I have to receive a full-a** write up.
Like I'm not tripping right? Should I just quit or what [because what the f***]."The post went viral after it was shared to X, formerly Twitter, on Monday by conservative political commentator Nick Adams, receiving over 672,000 views."I'm done," Adams' wrote alongside a screenshot of the post. "I will never eat at Chipotle again, their guacamole isn't even that good."Although Extreme_Paper didn't state their gender, Adams proclaimed any company that "writes up their hard working alpha male employees for accidentally 'misgendering' someone" will be deprived of his custom.In a follow-up post, Adams shared a video of himself outside of a Chipotle restaurant.
