Fallon—Bloomberg / Getty Images by [Samantha Grossman](/author/samantha-grossman/) ## Samantha Grossman Update your preferences in [Account Settings](/account/preferences/) Close Feb 8, 2016 4:57 PM CUT All 2,000 Chipotle locations will be [temporarily shut down](http://time.com/4211767/chipotle-closed-food-safety-meeting/ "undefined") during lunchtime Monday for a company-wide meeting about food safety. If you were planning on hitting Chipotle during that time, the company is very sorry it ruined your plans, and would like to provide you with [a free burrito to make up for it](http://chipotle.com/raincheck "undefined"). All you have to do to redeem this offer is text the word “raincheck” to 888-222\. They’ll text you back with a coupon for a free burrito within the next few days. This, of course, is only a good deal if you still trust Chipotle after its tumultuous few months of [E. coli outbreaks](http://time.com/4157690/chipotle-ecoli-outbreak-cdc/ "undefined") and [salmonella outbreaks](http://time.com/4032218/chipotle-minnesota-salmonella-outbreak/ "undefined"). Oh, and a [norovirus outbreak](http://time.com/4143382/norovirus-confirmed-in-outbreak-chipotle-boston-college/ "undefined"). Oh, and a [subsequent lawsuit](http://time.com/4173756/chipotle-ecoli-lawsuit-investors/ "undefined"). Free food is a great way to _most_ people’s hearts, so clearly they’re trying to win you back. The choice is yours. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4212129/chipotle-closed-free-burrito-raincheck/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4212129/chipotle-closed-free-burrito-raincheck/"},"headline":"Here's a Very Easy Way to Score a Free Chipotle Burrito This Week","datePublished":"2016-02-08T16:57:41.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:29:47.892Z","description":"The company really wants to win back your trust","url":"https://time.com/4212129/chipotle-closed-free-burrito-raincheck/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Food & Drink"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt7acb33d3ce1b0ca6/69887c915f570fc55cb1f8d0/gettyimages-173671225.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Samantha Grossman","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/samantha-grossman/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt7acb33d3ce1b0ca6/69887c915f570fc55cb1f8d0/gettyimages-173671225.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"A Chipotle Restaurant Ahead Of Earnings Data","caption":"A Chipotle Restaurant Ahead Of Earnings Data","creditText":"Patrick T.
