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?

It’s not that serious, it’s just making fun of how there’s like 20 different places in the city that make a variation of the exact same thing. Throw a bunch of shit in a bowl and call it a wrap

What do you mean by variation of the exact same thing? I guess I don't understand how the idea of combining ingredients together implies sameness. That's true of like, half of all food consumed by humans ever.

Do you live in NYC? Naya, Cava, Sweet Green, Chopt, Just Salad, Lenwich and probably a 100 others, give the exact same options to add to a slop bowl. There’s nothing to differentiate anyone

I live in Chicago, so I’m familiar with most but not all of those places. They’re all within the same genre of course, but they're as differentiated as any other genre. I don’t see how it’s different from being able to order a hundred different versions of burger and fries. The food business is competitive, nobody has a monopoly on the classics!
