New York City is going to the rats, literally
New York City continues its rapid decline into third world status as rats encroach on the people.
In Morningside Heights, New York City, a Chipotle restaurant closed after it was overrun by rodents the size of small cats.
It shut down last month after the rats chewed through the computer system’s wiring, which handles customer orders.
Four employees were bitten by the horrid little creatures who dine in the backroom.
On Tuesday, employee Luis Gustavo Paulino Ruiz said he was attacked by one of the rats after being sent in by managers to clean the store.
