TL;DR: Prices are skyrocketing and now people need to make their own lunch.

I hate Sweetgreen. That is all.

Why?
Lessee, the ingredients are sub-par, it’s too expensive for what it is, they can’t get a delivery order right to save their life…
I definitely agree that it’s [far] too expensive. I haven’t had delivery from there so no comment. The salads I have had have been reasonably tasty and seemed fresh enough, and the Boston area ones at least have a list of their suppliers right on the wall so they seem to be kind of standing by their vendors/ingredients. (Not saying you should give it another shot.) I think there are various other reasons to dislike the place such as the overall annoying vibe…but hate seems like a lot of energy to expend for a salad chain 
I had a year-long full-time teaching gig a while back, and every Monday during the faculty meeting, we got Sweetgreen. There was never any discussion of other places to order from - just Sweetgreen, always Sweetgreen. I suffered through brown lettuce, mushy grape tomatoes, and the absolute worst sin: missing avocado.
I hate Sweetgreen.

I hate the whole dumb “bowl” trend. It all started with poke bowls, and now everything is a “bowl.”
I blame low carb-ing.
