Rodent infestation forces closure of New York Mexican fast food chain
A Chipotle franchise in New York City has closed its doors after employees were forced to chase and kill rats found in the restaurant.
An employee union representing those who worked there say the parent company ignored the infestation for weeks before finally shutting the outlet for deep cleaning last month.
Former employees of the store said they were forced to catch and kill the rodents while the restaurant continued to serve customers.
