I also reached out to them on Twitter but they directed me to this form. I followed up with them on Twitter with what happened in this screenshot but they are now ignoring me.
Somebody made a shitty regex.
I work for Chipotle Corporate. Please send me your email address. I’ll make sure it gets fixed.
Nice try I’ve heard that before
There should be an ‘@,’ followed by a domain (name@email.com).
What is your email address?
That is 100% a bot, and whoever made the bot just stuck in a custom regex to match “user@sld.tld” instead of using a standardized domain validation lib that actually handles cases like yours correctly.
Edit: the bots are redirecting you to bots are redirecting you to bots. This is not a bug. This is by design.
The best way to validate an email address is to sent it an email validation link.
Anything outside of that is a waste of effort.
That is 100% a chatbot using a regex email validator someone wrote as a meme that the chipotle dev copied from stack overflow without context.
As the owner of a .info domain, I know this pain all too well.
One of the reasons I’ve always avoided .info, nobody seems to believe it’s a real domain
You should put up an informational website to let people know, at https://info.info/
Smells like bad regex
Exactly. After the @ they should just confirm there’s at least one period. The rest is pretty much up in the air.
Even that would be technically incorrect. I believe you could put an A record on a TLD if you wanted. In theory, my email could be
me@example
.Another hole to poke in the single dot regex: I could put in
fake@com.
with a dot trailing after the TLD, which would satisfy “dot after @” but is not an address to my knowledge.
