Hillary Clinton wants to be president, but no one in Chipotle knows who she is

Clinton plans to be the new Chipotle-in-chief

Hillary Clinton may be one of the most recognisable faces in the US yet on her quest to be the champion of the everyday American, it seems that very demographic doesn't really know who she is.

After not surprisingly announcing her candidacy for the presidency at the weekend, Clinton embarked on a journey across several states from her home in New York to head to her first official campaign event in Monticello, Iowa. On the 1,000-mile journey, Clinton evidently became peckish and reportedly popped into a Chipotle chain in Maumee, Ohio.

However, when New York Times' Maggie Halberman made a call to the restaurant's manager, Charles Wright, he told her that her tip-off had been wrong. Wright, however, did say that he would check the store's security footage. When he did, he saw the unmistakable image of the former Secretary of State, wearing sunglasses, and ordering a chicken burrito bowl.

Wright told Halberman that his staff were "kicking themselves" for not recognising the former First Lady and presidential hopeful. Clinton, 67, was accompanied by her longtime and trusted aide Huma Abedin. Reports suggest Clinton had a chicken burrito bowl, guacamole, a chicken salad and a blackberry soft drink.

She's definitely going to have to work harder with the Chipotle crowd.
