I went to chipotle at approximately 8:00pm on 7/27/24 and there were two young men and one younger woman working on the food line. I waited a little longer than normal due to them preparing online orders but it was no longer than 3 minutes. When it was my turn to order, I ordered a chicken bowl with a side of chips. The cashier stated that my order total was 12.02. I handed him a 20 dollar bill and he stated that he did not have enough cash for the 7 dollars in change. I asked him, " Well, what's the plan?" He then called over the young lady and began speaking to her in Spanish , and she also stated that they could not serve me with cash due to not having 5's or 1's. There was no sign stating that they didn't have cash nor that they were only able to accept debit at the time. Could they not change out the drawer or access the safe to get change? Could they not use the stack of one dollar bills in the tip jar? Maybe offer to up-sale me so my bill could reach 20 dollars? My only option was to pay with a debit card and if that would have been previously stated, I would not have placed an order. It was a waste of my time and food for the company. Also, while waiting, a woman walks in with an incorrect order. The label on the food was totally different from the food in the bowl including the protein choice. The lady handed the man the plate , and he threw it away in the trash then proceeded to make another. Another inconvenience for the customer and waste of food for the company. I'm sure there are many restaurants nearby who would love to take my cash and not turn me away due to not having enough change. I order here maybe once a week and often order delivery for myself and my coworkers. Definitely a loss for the company, and I will tell anyone who asks.
