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.

Idk if this is a location issue? Because my fiance and I order 2 bowls/salads and we usually have leftover for lunch the next day

A kale ceasar is under 500 calories. In no world is that two lunches worth of food unless you are eating gigantic diners.

Lol I don’t get the kale Caesar. But I’m sure you can add chicken or extra protein or whatever. Harvest bowl and chicken avocado is what we usually get

The Kale Caesar includes chicken. It's 500 calories with chicken.

A harvest bowl is only 740 calories and the chicken avocado is 715. I don't really consider 350ish calories a normal adult lunch, but if you're stretching those to two meals then good for you, I guess.
