Chipotle: Slowdowns and operational changes - what's going on?

Just wanted to get a pulse on what's happening at Chipotle. Over the last few weeks, I've seen some weird operational stuff. Like, certain menu items are sometimes unavailable even though it's not a supply chain issue we've been told about. And the speed of service seems to be struggling, even when it's not super busy. My manager is tight-lipped, but there's a definite buzz among the crew that something's up. Are they testing new efficiency measures? Is this a precursor to something bigger? I'm starting to feel a bit uneasy about the stability. Has anyone else noticed these kinds of subtle shifts or heard any rumors about what might be driving them?

Yeah, I've noticed some of that too. The other day, they were out of barbacoa at like 2 PM, which is wild. And the line was moving like molasses, even though there were only a few people ahead of me. It's a bit frustrating when you're trying to grab a quick lunch. Hope they figure out whatever is causing the slowdowns, because the food is still great, but the wait times are getting a little much to deal with regularly.
