A CHIPOTLE diner was left baffled after spotting a mysterious price difference for the exact same order.
And the foodie revealed the second order, which was much cheaper than the first one, was bought from a branch just 15 minutes away.

The picture of the receipts revealed that both orders included the same dishes: a chicken bowl with extra chicken and guacamole.
But they both had a price difference of $1.46.
The first order was made on June 10 at 9335 N. Tyron Street, Sui Charlotte , North Carolina – and cost $16.24.
However, the exact same order was made again on June 12 at 9821 Northlake Center Park – just 15 minutes away from the first Chipotle Mexican Grill branch.
The second order cost $17.70.
Social media users rushed to the comments section to share their thoughts.
One user said: “Classic corporate franchise.”
While another person added: “It is the location.”
It comes as a Chipotle fan revealed an unknown secret name change hack to get a ton of food on your drive-thru order.
The special name change method stands to get you more bang for your buck, and you can do it from the comfort of your driver’s seat.
Americans are feeling the pinch of higher prices, and reliable fast food is harder to come by.

A savvy content creator took to social media to spread the word, and all it takes is a simple alteration when ordering drive-thru on your phone.
If you want your Chipotle bowl fully loaded, when the order asks for your name, instead write “LOAD this thing up”.
You can either go in to the spot and pick it up or go through the drive thru window.
The order will still have your actual name linked with the account you ordered it from, but the portion was much bigger.
The video creator was shocked to find “a ton of meat” in her bowl, and she can see it really was “fully loaded”.
NEW LOCATIONS
The US Sun recently reported that Chipotle is planning to open 345 new restaurants nationwide by the end of the year.
This is according to CEO Scott Boatwright said during its first-quarter earnings call on Wednesday.
But it is important to note that while 345 is the end goal for 2026, Chipotle has noted a range between 315 and 345 overall.
At least 80% of these are set to include a Chiptolane, drive-thrus where customers can pick up mobile or online orders they placed ahead of time.
Boatwright also confirmed that Chipotle will add about 15 to 20 new restaurants in Canada and another five in the Middle East.
He said on the earnings call: “While our first quarter results were impacted by several headwinds, including weather and a slowdown in consumer spending, our teams continue to make significant progress improving the execution in our restaurants, innovating our back of house, and building Chipotle into a global iconic brand.
But Boatwright has expressed confidence in customer foot traffic as a reliable source of interest for Chipotle.
Chipotle has made effort to keep the cost of its most popular items, the chicken-based burritos and burrito bowls, under $10 on average.
“I am confident that we have a strong plan to return to positive transaction comps by the second half of the year, and during these uncertain times, we will continue to invest in the things that make Chipotle a special brand — our people, culinary, value proposition, innovation and growth.”
