People Are Pissed About This Man's Chipotle "Hack"
When Whole Foods peeled oranges and packed them in plastic containers, the internet lost its collective mind. Then, mere months later, the same ecological lash-out hit Sobeys after it started selling shrink-wrapped avocado halves. So we really can't say we're surprised that, when one man shared his favorite Chipotle "hack" that involves getting every individual ingredient packed up to go, the Twittersphere ripped him a new one.
It all started this weekend, when Twitter user Josh Williams posted about his favorite way to order at Chipotle: by asking for all of the ingredients to be scooped into plastic cups so he can put together his burrito and tacos at home. "Am I weird? Or brilliant?" he asked.
Started asking the folks at Chipotle to individually package my ingredients so I can assemble it all at home.

Whether you think this is weird or brilliant, you have to admit it's a pretty wild request. But it doesn't stop there. Williams also apparently filled a few plastic containers with the Tobasco sauces that Chipotle keeps on hand for customers who are dining in.
Yeaaaah... I even shook a bunch of that really good smoky-flavor Tabasco sauce into a container for the road.

Unsurprisingly, the overwhelming response was an enormous clapback to the sheer amount of waste - both in terms of trash and time. Here's what people had to say:
This is literally my worst nightmare. Please don't ever come to my store 😂

What is happening. This is not right man. Trust the process.

But there were a few brave souls who supported his idea:
been there done that I approve this message

And others who started debating about food costs, up-charges, and extra add-ons:
As a former Chipotle cashier, you would've been charged for the second cup of each side.

i think what's going on is like the cheese that would have been on the taco is just in the cup, not like extra cheese, right?

Damn, who knew a strange, overcomplicated order would cause so much mayhem online. Oh wait ...
