Chipotle: Anyone else seeing major cuts in hours/staffing recently?

Hey everyone, been working at Chipotle for a little over two years now, and lately, things feel different. Over the past few months, I've noticed our store consistently running with fewer people on the line, especially during peak hours. It's getting harder to keep up with orders, and the stress is definitely higher for those of us who are there. It feels like management is trying to squeeze more out of the existing staff rather than hiring more people. Are others experiencing this? Is this a company-wide thing, or just my location? Just wondering if this is the calm before the storm, or if it's just the new normal. Anyone have any insights or heard anything through the grapevine about potential staffing changes or budget cuts affecting hours?

Yeah, definitely seeing similar things at my location. It's been rough trying to manage during lunch rushes with barely enough hands on deck. We're constantly playing catch-up, and the pressure to be faster while dealing with fewer people is insane. Makes you wonder if they're prioritizing profit margins over employee well-being and customer experience. Hope it's not a trend that sticks.

I haven't noticed drastic cuts, but it does feel a bit more stretched thin lately, especially on weekends. Maybe it's just seasonal staffing adjustments or a shift in how they're scheduling? It's frustrating when the workload increases without a corresponding increase in support. Makes the job way more demanding than it needs to be.
