Chipotle knows where their customers went instead after the recent hickups? Or they know what are other places their customers shop at? Doubtful

Why would Chipotle know those things? Chipotle should know its real-time receipts (as should every business) and if others get those before Chipotle makes them public and trade based on those receipts, it would be insider trading.

If banks sell exclusive transaction dumps of non-public receipts and someone trades based on that information, it would be insider trading.
