Chipotle Mexican Grill
Debit/Credit Card fraud

As much as I love to eat at Chipotle Mexican Grill, it's hard for me to believe they would try and rip me off. I know I probably eat there at least once a week, if not more.

After checking my bank statement recently, I noticed some unauthorized charges that I KNOW I didn't make. I know for a fact because it was on December 19 and I was moving all day that day. I didn't even eat there. There were two charges made a Chipotle with my Debit card. To be clear, I hadn't lost my debit card and still have it in my possesion. After contacting my bank, I was told that the transaction was swiped. The first transaction was for $24.68 on December 19, and was made at 3:38 AM. Now mind you, Chipotle closes EVERY night at 10:30 pm in Woodland Hills, CA.

The second transaction was made on December 20 at 12:25 AM for $26.30. Closes at 10:30pm remember. These may seem like small amounts but I don't care if it was for $. 50, it is STILL stolen.

I guess they felt like, well she comes here so much, she won't notice, and to be honest, they've probably gotten away with doing it before, and I'm just now catching it. But because of the circumstances on that day, 12/19/08, lead me to believe there was some possible fraud and I plan to get to the bottom of it.

Things like this really upset me and put me in a vulnerable state to where it's hard to trust any establishment. I shouldn't have to worry about making a purchase with my hard earned money and having someone take my information and use it to their sick advantage. Whomever the employee was that did this needs to be reprimanded. I say "employee", because who else can make purchases at that time of the night to a restaurant that's not open. He/She probably made the transaction to cash out the money and made it an odd amount thinking it would go unnoticed.

Sorry, but I noticed it. This time!
