**🚨 LOCAL GRIDDLE: MEXICAN CHAIN PACKS UP – “WOKE” MENU OR JUST BAD BUSINESS? 🚨**
Just saw the announcement that [Insert Chain Name] is pulling out of the U.S. after 15 years. Their CEO says it’s about “rising costs and changing tastes,” but let’s be real—everyone I know stopped going when they swapped the $5 lunch specials for $18 bowls with “artisan cilantro.”
Remember when they got roasted for that “Deconstructed Taco” that was literally a pile of lettuce on a plate for $14? Or when they put a “Gratitude Surcharge” on every check?
Now they’re closing 47 locations. My buddy’s uncle worked there—said they spent more time training staff on “preferred pronouns” than on how to fold a burrito.
Common sense: You can’t charge New York prices in a Kansas City market and expect to survive. They forgot that a restaurant’s job is to feed people, not make a political statement. Good riddance.
