Chipotle

Chipotle’s problems are spreading out across the country. Two days after one location in Virginia closed for sanitation after at least one (and as many as 133) customers became sick with norovirus, rats started falling from the ceiling of a location in Dallas.

Chipotle employees cleaned up the mess, but not before one customer got video footage.

Suddenly, 2015’s E.Coli outbreak doesn’t seem so bad.

Here’s what one customer said about the incident, via NBC DFW:

“If we would have been sitting at the table next to that it definitely would have fell on top of our food because it was literally right there,” Daniela Ornelas, of Dallas, told NBC DFW, adding that she and her boyfriend were eating during the lunch rush at the restaurant.

“I just kept wondering what it was, and I kept looking around until I looked at the floor, and I saw three rats, and I ran,” Ornelas said.

A statement from a Chipotle spokesperson downplayed what happened as “an extremely isolated and rare incident.”

Probably because rats and a virus known as the “Winter Vomiting Bug” are two things you don’t want in your restaurant, Chipotle stock has taken a dip, falling over three percent on Friday and over 13 percent for the week. Also, shareholders have filed a class-action lawsuit claiming Chipotle “deceived them with misleading information that the company had fixed its problems with food safety.”
