Free burritos for all because every Chipotle in the US is shut

You just have to text by 6pm today

Every Chipotle in the country is closed between 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. in order to implement a new food safety program – but they’re giving you a free one to make up for it.

Due to the inconvenience Chipotle is giving it’s customers free burritos for today only until 6 p.m. if they text RAINCHECK to 888222.

 

Disclaimer: you don’t ACTUALLY get it today, but you get a coupon you can exchange for a freebie whenever your heart desires.

Though you may not want to – we’ll need to dig a bit deeper into why the restaurant is closed during those peak hours.

Chipotle has run into a little snafu with e. coli breaking out into some stores.  While some people were okay with the risk Chipotle found it better to just heighten all sanitary procedures including:

  • preparing veggies and such in central kitchens
  • marinating cilantro in citrus for extra protection, and a zesty flavor
  • food tracking system to keep track of all food coming in and out of restaurants
  • adding regular inspection to make sure facilities are at top shape.

These steps will help all of us have a better experience at Chipotle with no fear of illness, something we all can be happy about.

Get your free burrito, thank me later.
