This situation impacts the world, because their are many people who enjoy having Chipotle. People would be disappointed if the “Chipotle Restaurant” closed. This situation doesn’t have an affect on me but I do believe Chipotle is a enjoyable restaurant and I enjoy eating their. However, of Chipotle closes I wouldn’t be that disappointed.
