  • I’ll always remember the first time I went to Chipotle. I guess it must have still been a regional thing at the time because I had never heard of it or been to one, so I wasn’t familiar with how it worked. Someone I had just started dating brought me there.

    There was a small menu on the wall in the area where you wait in line. It listed things like chicken burrito, bean burrito, etc, along with ingredients for each of those. So I thought, “Alright. Bean burrito sounds good.”

    It’s my turn to order. I asked for the bean burrito. They stare at me and I stare at them.

    “No, but what do you want on it?”

    -“All the things for the bean burrito.”

    “I need to know what you want on it.”

    -“What? Just the regular. It’s on the sign there.”

    I have returned to Chipotle only once because that same person I was dating at the time wanted to go. I didn’t want to deal with the burrito process, so I just ordered rice.

    They didn’t specify that there was cilantro in the rice back then. I’ve got that cilantro equals soap gene.

    I have never returned to a Chipotle.

    Thank you for reading my mundane story.












  • Thank you!

    As a disabled person who looks like a youngish, able-bodied person, I try not to assume that the people sitting in the disabled seats are themselves healthy. If I need a seat and they’re taken, I will ask, “Is there anyone sitting here who isn’t disabled?” That generally gets somebody to stand up. Interestingly, it’s usually the older people. I guess they are better able to empathize with the need to sit.
