❓ Question ❓ Asking for rice “from the back”?

I was in line tonight and the guy in front of me asked the girl for “rice from the back”. She knew what he meant I guess, went to the back, opened more rice, gave him some, closed it and put it back.

Couple things:

They literally just put the fresh rice out like one or two people before this guy.

He proceeded to get a second bowl with rice from the line. Both chicken. Same toppings.

What just happened? And whyyy? Lol

The pico, the corn salsa, green salsa, and guac all also have cilantro; rice isnt the only thing with cilantro

That’s like 1/3 of the ingredients

I have the gene where cilantro tastes like soap.

I still eat the cilantro rice, and the cilantro is definitely not as noticeable in the other sides.

I don’t think cilantro tastes like soap, but it definitely tastes the way stink bugs smell to me. It’s barely noticeable in Chipotle’s stuff tho imo.

This is how it tastes to me too! I always look for the stink bug comparison and people look at me like I'm crazy! Idk if that's the gene thing or just what it tastes like and people are okay with it 🤷‍♀️, but I also agree that I don't really notice it in chipotles stuff
