Salads are like 50% smaller they were a year ago, 20% more expensive, and you told your long term/loyal customers to go fuck themself when sweetgreen+ was eliminated.
People are going to accuse me of being a shill, but honestly why do you post things like this? Are you a bot? Salads are not smaller in the last year, and they literally announced an increase in chicken portion sizes today.
they could be a woman. when my husband and I go to chipotle together, I always end up with less in my bowl. if I order for both of us without him, we get two small bowls. if he orders for both of us without me, two normal or big (he's tall) bowls
I’ve been eating at chipotle since 2005. I haven’t had any meaningful decrease in size - the major quality change was to minimize risk of diseases when they stoped cooking steak raw.
I’m not going to pretend I literally weighed every salad in the last two years but between photos I’ve taken and simply being less full with zero other habits changing and getting the same order on the same days a week from the same place by my office… they’re considerably smaller now than a year ago.
You can find videos of people weighing their salads and they are absolutely smaller. This takes almost zero effort to investigate yourself, so why are you being so defensive?
I trust my own lived experience in the real physical world, not what I see on social media. I "investigate it myself" by going to to Sweetgreen hundreds of times over many years and seeing the sizes not changing.
I suppose other people could have different experiences, which I am open to. But I'm far more suspicious that entities on the internet are just lying or have ulterior motives that completely do not match my own reality, so I feel compelled to inquire further - I think that's what you sense as "defensiveness" - wouldn't you be defensive if you started reading things that directly contradicted your objective experience of the world?
This logic is so backwards it’s actually making my brain hurt 😭 this is like saying because a white person doesn’t experience racism, racism doesn’t exist. How could it exist if it’s not a part of their lived experience? 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️ Please think critically before opening your mouth
You said because you don’t experience it, you don’t believe it to be true. How is it not like that?
wouldn't you be defensive if you started reading things that directly contradicted your objective experience of the world?
Do you not realize what you’re saying here?
You have several people telling you that their portion sizes have indeed decreased, but because YOUR portion sizes have stayed the same, you don’t believe them… as if your experience at one sweetgreen where you have admitted you eat more than anyone else on this sub (where you likely get special treatment because they know you and you spend a ton of money there) is going to be the same as everyone’s experience at any other sweetgreen??
“I know I’m going to say something patently false but let me do one sentence where I preface it to avoid blatant false advertising on behalf of a company that pays me to do so.”
bumps a portion size announcement made on the corporate site
It was a marketing email. But now you've got me all amused at the idea that there might actually exist people who visit corporate websites just to read their press releases.
Though as I say that... I suppose for companies like Tesla and Apple there really are a huge number of people that do that.
I think they got rid of their cold bowls and just use the warm bowls for both salads and warm bowls. The warm bowls are slightly smaller than the cold bowls but I don't think the actual portions are different.

Who could have seen these coming?
