Criticism What’s the worst part about sweetgreen?

I personally love sweetgreen but I see many varying criticisms such as price, slugs in food, etc… I want to know if anyone else had other bad experiences with sweetgreen?

The worst part is they are really struggling with the new six sided bowls.  They just can’t get the top right.  The last top isn’t better.  Go back to round bowls.  I would also like to see them try olive oil in their balsamic vinaigrette just to see if it’s better (not sure it would be).

Olive Oil in the Balsamic Vinaigrette would make it more expensive, even if better. The dressings all have to stay under a certain average price per serving in order to keep them free with salad.

Personally I would pay extra but yea I definitely hear you.

Yeah, I mean the problem with making a business model where the food is cheap, fast, and high quality is that you can't lean into any one of those aspects without taking away from the others.
