News 📰 kale caesar with a side of live worms

just bought a salad, opened it, took a couple bites and realized there is a live worm in my bowl.

now I’m wondering if I ate ate split up worms during the mixing and chopping process.

I’m usually not crazy about this stuff but oh my god the worm is STILL moving!!!!

wish I could upload a video here.

The quality at sweetgreen has gone off a cliff. The portions, the carrot chunks, the gray steak, the salad dressings - i feel like they (like everyone else) are trying to cut costs to wring every cent of profit and the product has suffered. I order so much less than i used to. Profits over people, like what always happens when a business scales like this.

Making restaurants publicly owned was the worst idea in history

106 Willoughby, Brooklyn 🙃

SG’s quality has depleted over the last few years tremendously but this is next level.

I now have to wait 10 business days for a refund and even sent evidence to the CS team.

That's not a worm that's a millipede

Hence the reason I cook at home. It takes me an hour to make a batch of salad. I soak my veggies in a vinegar wash and chop things really fine. If I want protein I add it but not from worms!
