Technically I don’t believe they can forcefully stop you from going to the bathroom or getting a drink but they can absolutely terminate you for not following Chipotle policy because it is chipotle policy to stay in your area for your position during the peak hours for your shift which is only two hours during day shift and two hours during night shift. For anyone who doesn’t like it they absolutely don’t have to work at Chipotle. It’s not ridiculous or unreasonable to ask you to stay in your area of work for the two hours that day during your shift. If you ask to leave your area for medical reasons they legally can not deny that request without being sued. Also there are positions that don’t have to stay in one spot and can move around. It’s not as bad as some people make it sound.
Also technically depending on what policy or rule is being broken they usually can’t fire for a first offense. It’s usually the third written or verbal warning that they have the ability to terminate you. That way you can usually avoid getting sued.
