I'm not one to complain or really give a shit, but I have noticed an alarming trend in my area. For a long time I stuck with the same burrito chain as they were very consistent and always good. But every time I try a different one, I somehow get someone who can't make a god damn burrito - and on top of that, all of them are more expensive. I mean, I can't fold a burrito to save my life, but that's not my job - it's why I'm going to Burrito Boyz and not making it at home.
First example - some place called Mumma's Burrito, I think it was. I order their biggest size of burrito and say put everything on it, like I do at my usual place. I see fear in the poor kid's eyes and he mangles that poor burrito so badly he has to start over because it explodes and falls apart. I'm the only one in the restaurant so I didn't mind waiting, but while he did finally manage to put one together it was a drippy mess by the time I got home.
A while later, a new burrito place opened right next to the supermarket I frequent - awesome! It was a bit pricier than I'd like but they had some toppings that I'd never tried before. Order my burrito and she put like, a quarter of a scoop of barbacoa in there and stacked it with everything else, then folded it wrong. Okay, whatever, maybe it was a fluke. I gave them another chance and went back - okay, normal amount of meat, and it looks like they managed to fold it correctly. Or so I thought. It seemed like it tasted a little odd and then I noticed they'd somehow managed to make a burrito where the filling was perfectly divided like Neapolitan ice cream. All the beans in the front, the meat in the middle, everything else in the back. I'll eat anything but that was bizarre.
I can go on, other places have had more boring problems like their burrito being tiny for the cost or taking forever. But yeah, I give up experimenting, sticking with the usual from now on.
