This is one reason why I always use cash at restaurants—just one less thing to worry about...

Crap...haven’t these folks heard of cyber security? Things such as this are why I use Apple Pay wherever the business has it.

Would you like a side of e-coli with your identity theft?

I started going back to Chipotle about a month ago after a almost 2 year absence. I believe they resolved the e-coli issue. I like Chipotle because it is healthy and you can get in and get out.

Another six month round of free Burritos is coming as an apology. All kinds of freebees after the food poisoning issue.
