Popular Mexican Food-Chain Chipotle Gives NYPD Impermissible Discounts

Does Chipotle love a man in uniform? Well at least that's what reports suggest. According to a New York Times article, a Chipotle restaurant in down town Brooklyn on Montague Street is offering police men and woman who show up to the usually jam-packed restaurant a 50 percent discount on anything on the menu.

The grill is located a few strides away from the 84th Precinct station house and therefore tends to draw in many from the force. While the grill's manager Gonzalo Romero says that the discount is nothing but a show of gratitude to the police force. He tells the NYT, "They don't ask for it...We give it to them as a courtesy."

 However, the department's chief of internal affairs, Chief Charles V. Campisi does not think the offer appropriate for police to accept. In fact, Campisi says that officers are particularly warned against accepting such officers.  An integrity control officer who forms a part of every precinct unit is supposed to monitor and trace any restaurants making such offers and prohibit such deeds to continue.

National Spokesman for the fast-food chain, tells the New York Times, "national policy that allows our restaurants to offer a discount (at the discretion of the restaurant) to police in uniform, though it isn't mandatory that we offer and isn't mandatory that it is accepted."
