33 Signs You've Ascended To The Highest Level Of Chipotle

    An obsession that transcends extra costs for guac.

    1. You're that person who shows up at various non-restaurant locations with a bag of Chipotle, thus making everyone hate you.

    2. You honor the first rule of Chipotle: don’t even mention the place after 10 - it’s closed.* That's cruel.

    3. You have taken a first date - and a second date - well, most dates - to Chipotle.

    4. You know everything on the Chipotle soundtrack and it haunts your dreams.

    5. You aren't afraid to ask politely when you'd like some more meat.

    6. A friend tells you they don’t wanna go because they “just had Chipotle yesterday” and suddenly they aren’t your friend anymore.

    7. Your idea of “missionary position” is explaining to the unwashed masses that there is no affiliation with McDonalds.

    8. Hearing someone say “Chi-pol-tay” is akin to being called an ethnic slur.

    9. When things aren't too busy, you love to sneak in a heart-to-heart with the manager by the cash register.

    10. ...and that friendship has led you to something better than any christmas gift - a free lunch.

    11. You are thrilled to recognize when the seasoned "A-team" of line workers come out to take care of business.

    12. 2 for 1 deals doesn't mean “I'm bringing a friend’, it means "watch me eat two burritos”.

    17. You’re excited to travel to different cities where Chipotle costs less than back home (I’m sure your rent is high in NY but not $8.50-a-burrito high, come on).

    18. You remember a time when a Burrito bowl was, for some reason, called a “Burrito Bol”.

    19. You know how to pull the "One Taco" trick when you're not all that hungry.

    20. You’ve applied for work at Chipotle and the most difficult part was not sounding like a stalker.

    21. There is no rewards card to earn and you can’t f**#^&@* handle it.

    27. You road tripped to DC or LA just to be first in line at their expansion, ShopHouse. Twice.

    28. And you have flown in to Dulles just to try a breakfast burrito.

    29. You respect the sanctity of the water cup and shun those who defile it with free soda.

    30. You’ve done Boorito, Adventurrito, Farm Team...and are patiently awaiting your next big challenge.
