Reply to comment by TiesThrei in A (now former) Mad Mex Oakland employee weighs in by VacantLot412

It is. I worked at a mad Mex (another store) until recently and it was clear the company’s bottom line is struggling. Not confirmed but just things I heard. They’re likely cutting dead weight stores which to be fair, this one in particular is because the shadyside location is far superior.

insane to me that this could be considered a dead weight store with how busy it always is

This. I work at CMU and this place was my regular spot. Lunch there during the summer only had like 3-5 tables seated when I would go.

It was like that all of the time in the summer. This location was just too small and didn’t have the oomph that shady side has.

With the way things cost these days they can’t afford to have a restaurant that doesn’t do well year round.

How was it clear? Restaurant groups never share this info with the workers. How did you get that impression?
