Text this number to get a free Chipotle burrito

Every Chipotle restaurant in the country closed for lunch today so that employees could meet and discuss food safety strategy following several reports of E. coli linked to the popular burrito chain. 

To make up for the lost hours, Chipotle is offering a rain check in the form of a coupon for a free burrito between 11:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. The coupons are first-come first-serve — and based on people's reactions on Twitter, if you want one, you better act fast.

The offer to snag the coupon is only good for today (February 8) but it looks like you can redeem it whenever.

Remember, guac will probably still cost extra. Here's how to snag yourself a free burrito coupon. 

First, text "RAINCHECK" to 888-222.
