Rats? Yes, rats.

One week after troubling reports of more than 100 customers getting sick after eating at a Virginia Chipotle, rats literally fell from the ceiling in one of the company’s Dallas stores.

“They’ve lost control of a lot of their stores. I think this is probably just a surface level issue, but dig deeper and there’s a lot more beneath the surface.”
