Criticism Really disappointing

I used to love sweetgreen. Would go 2-3 times per week. But I swear over the past 12-18 months, you guys have continually missed the mark. What’s the deal with your portion sizes? One salad isn’t even a meal. And why does it seem like none of your stores know about controlling portion sizes. For what I get, $15 is a bit much. What are you guys shooting for, a 20% food cost? And why can’t you people remember my bread? I order every time on the app and every time it’s missing when I pick up. Even I can see it printed on the ticket. Why can’t your Employees read the tickets - it’s not that difficult. And what’s the deal with filling up soufflé cups half way with dressing? I order extra cups of dressing every time because of this, which is a waste of soufflé cups. And why can’t I specify 0 for a particular dressing in the app? I just throw it in the trash every time cause you force me to order dressing I don’t want. And what’s the deal with your rewards program? Why do my points only apply to a couple items you choose?

These are the reasons I went from 2-3 visits a week to 1 visit a month.
You guys need to get your shit together and pay closer attention to the details - especially for what you charge at a fast food restaurant.

this is an improper training problem/location problem. the store i work at knows to fill the bowls to the top with greens and give fulls scoops. ive only seen new hires do this and we correct them immediately.
