The irony
Chipotle and Apple customers
Similar hipster demographic
I don’t much like Chipotle but my daughters do
Chipotle is buffet single line,.....it will back up more than a multi lane fast food
Apple stores are genuinely crowded.....crazy....it’s a device fetish for libs and kids
In Nashville area we have a Mexican outfit does Chipotle model called Oscars....much better
Chipotle is to Mex what PF Chang is to Chinese
I won't go into a Chipotle restaurant. . . they removed pork from their menus because of complaints from Muslims.
Apple stores have a lot of people in them but they are never backed up.
You are really deluded.
Apple has areas for classes, demonstrations and set ups. But are separate for sales. I can go in and buy something in minutes and be out. Their retailing has been a model for the industry.
But most stores cannot eliminate the cash register like Apple did. People do not get backed up at the cash register.
So your model of Apple being backed up like Chipotle (never been) is false.
Apple wants a lot is people in the stores ...the clases, demonstrations, the set ups ... Sompeople look in the window and want to check it out.
Not like the Microsoft stores that have seven people inside.
Forget your Chipotle. This is the real deal:

Might be a long drive, however.
“when it comes to customer service...”
The headphones on my daughter’s I-pod quit working. The Apple store said they couldn’t be fixed, and offered her $50 off on a newer product or a phone, etc. which would have run at least another $150.
I did a Google search and saw that the headphone jacks are prone to breaking on them. $2.50 for the part on Ebay, an hour of watching numerous youtube repair videos, and a half-hour to repair it and I was done!
6 months later she got her first smart-phone (Android), and I don’t think she has used her I-pod since! Also got the expandable memory for her phone on line (64gb at $24) rather than at the Verizon shop (32gb at $50).
I’ll tell you though - that fricken Verizon store was like buying a car with all of the waiting, selling you the extra options (like the memory), and then the idiot trying to program the phone. We were in there for over two hours! For a phone!!! And they STILL didn’t do it right. My wife was on the phone for another 2-3 hours. Plus another trip to the store!!! (So yes, Verizon customer service sucked.)
“Chipotle is to Mex what PF Chang is to Chinese”
Whatever it is, it serves good food fast and is kicking the rear ends of most other fast food restaurants. People gladly wait to pay extra for good food.
