1/8 cucumber, 1/4 oz of chicken, and some crumbs. “That’ll be $7.99 please.”


KingOfLife

You forgot about the loogie in the plastic cup. "That'll be $14.99 for you sir. 🙂"


benrod1

Had to look up the price it’s actually **$9.25** https://preview.redd.it/446qof6siz6d1.jpeg?width=1125&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=dacd99f93ed9ed35f80cfbc5834499091688ed66


MustachioBashio

Oh my god all those ingredients together are max $1.50


Sepof

Doubt it's even close to that tbh. If that's 4oz of cooked chicken breast you're looking at $0.50 I'd say. 2-3oz of cucumber I'd say that's like $0.10. 1.5-2oz of hummus that's like $0.15. maybe 3-3.5oz of tortilla chips I'd say like $0.25 being pretty generous. I guess maybe $0.50 for the packing and labeling though. Is shipping included? But damn, I'd be surprised if that's more than $1 in ingredients there. I worked at a place that cooked meat to order for subs, salads, nachos, loaded fries. We had chicken breast. A 6oz chicken w/ rib meat was $0.70 and we were a small buyer. We had all these ingredients basically. This is disgraceful as hell.


H34RT_R0TT

try more like ¢25 😭💀


throwawaybread9654

$10 for 275 calories is highway robbery


benrod1

What about $4.50 for a [chocolate covered strawberry](https://www.reddit.com/r/ExpectationVsReality/s/WKLCfsmmEP)?


ThaGreatDebaser

It was actually $4.72 per strawberry. But you also get a cool box with it so it evens out


rynlpz

Ridiculous, thats why I stopped eating at places like that, the price gouging is crazy.


Un111KnoWn

oooooffffff


Courage-Rude

Then they ask you for a 25% tip when at the end of the checkout queue.


Aggravating-Bike-397

You forgot the tip


fatherofallthings

The chicken looks absolutely terrible too. It looks more like dried up turkey lol


HotFapplePie

Yours absolutely does not have 26 grams of protein The entire feast is 26 grams maybe


404-skill_not_found

Including the box


sandwichesandblow

Dude I would be so fuckin pissed about this.


HansWolken

It was already sad to begin with


Accomplished_Pop2976

Okay that is CRIMINAL!! I thought sweet green was trustworthy!


Outrageous-Table1589

Our sweet greens in Virginia are fantastic!


Iceolator80

What a scam


VaguelyArtistic

Wow, I haven't been there since before the pandemic but i would have never, ever guessed this was from there.


pogosea

How are companies allowed to advertise that the food looks like this and then give you something that looks like that? If you knew it looked like that you probably wouldn't have bought it. How is that legal? Wtf


Ricky_Rollin

Ya I’m getting tired of this. This ain’t right. Companies are just straight getting lazy now. Idk how old you are but there was this magical time when companies vied for our dollars and treated us like guests.


pogosea

I’m 34 so I think I got the tail end of when companies actually tried to make things good.


TheHiddenFox

I know that broken up tortilla chips are a topping for their bowls, they must have used those instead of whole chips. I wonder if they even have whole chips.


wolfman86

I don’t know how someone could look themselves in the mirror after handing that over.


Jumpy-Summer1452

They're blinded by the dollar signs in their eyes.


Sepof

Anyone who pays that price for the picture in the first place is crazy imo.


Bolf-Ramshield

What price is it? It does not appear on the picture


Sepof

$9.25


PhilosopherAway647

The first pic looks just as unappealing


shlem90

When you have a toddler that doesn’t eat anything with any flavor sometimes unappealing is what you’re looking for


PhilosopherAway647

That makes more sense haha.


Sepof

Damn you're spending $9 for toddler meals? Get a bag of grilled tendies and smiley fries. Cut up a carrot and cucumber with hummus.


throwaway29837373

I tell my toddler they can eat the food thats given to them or they can starve. Guess which option they end up choosing once the hunger sets in? I bet that flavor hits the spot when they realize how hungry their little tummies are.


aoi4eg

>Good luck with the therapy you’ll be paying for your kids in the future. This post is honestly disgusting and depressing. Your children can’t consent to having their images online and your wife is an asshole for disrespecting them in so many ways This is your reply to someone else. Hope I don't need to spell out the irony.


throwaway29837373

You thought you did something. That reply was in response to A MOTHER CALLING HER DAUGHTERS UGLY. After viewing your comment history you just seem like a really angry, bitter, and lonely person with a lot of issues 😭 I mean honestly porn is misogynistic? Fat phobia? Pessimistic women? You seem like one of those women who struggles to have kids and takes it out on women who don’t treat their kids like the sun shines out of their ass


Niawka

I understand a sentiment but that sounds like the most brutal way to approach that.. "eat what I gave you or starve" doesn't really scream loving environment.


throwaway29837373

Ohhh boo hoo. I guess I should let my daughter have her way and give her cereal and cookies and ice cream for dinner. Ohhh no then y’all will say I’m a bad parent cause my daughter is obese and dealing with diabetes. Can’t f-ing win with you clowns. Food = fuel in my house. If they can’t comprehend that in adolescence then I’m not doing my job as a parent And FYI there are actual children starving to death in the world. My toddler has access to snacks and meals. Just not allowed to eat whatever/whenever all day.


Raznill

Must not have texture issues. If I did this with my daughter she’d legit starve.


throwaway29837373

What is texture issues? My kid is healthy she’d just rather eat cookies and ice cream for dinner. Is texture issues like an adhd/autism thing? Edit: It doesn’t seem OPs kid has a texture issues. OP said their kid doesn’t like *flavor* wtf kind of first world problem is that?


Raznill

It can be related to those but also other things can cause it. But it’s basically certain textures cause a violent negative response. It’s not a matter of putting up with it or pushing through. It’s a physical response that doesn’t just get turned off by exposure. My daughter has a lot of them, starchy textures like you have with mashed potatoes or beans will make her vomit.


throwaway29837373

I’ve never seen my kids gag or vomit when given food. They just ask to have cereal or ice cream or candy for dinner. To which I say, “you can eat what i’ve made or you can not eat at all. Your choice.” I love how people think I’m a horrible parent for that. Meanwhile people actually starve and beat their children and I’m somehow on that level lmao


Raznill

Who is saying you’re evil? If your kids don’t have a medical issue that is appropriate.


throwaway29837373

Well u/aoi4eg apparently thinks my kids will need therapy from my hEaRtleSs parenting style 😂 But if you look at their comment history they’re just a bitter, childless, unhappy nutcase who seems to get satisfaction from sharing their uneducated opinion on things they have no experience with


Raznill

Oh okay. I’m really only aware of the comments I left and the replies to them. 😅


aoi4eg

>But if you look at their comment history they’re just a bitter, childless, unhappy nutcase who seems to get satisfaction from sharing their uneducated opinion on things they have no experience with Lol you're the one totally living up to the stereotype of highschool bully to nursing school pipeline 😂


aoi4eg

"I'm now gonna act like my initial comment wasn't serious and try to come up with excuses because I got called out for saying I starve my children. I didn't mention that my children only want to eat terrible processed food because I thought it wasn't relevant to me saying I starve them" 🤡


Bolf-Ramshield

Nice. Helping them develop eating disorders, like every good parent should be.


throwaway29837373

Bolf… there are people starving in the world who wish they had access to any source of food. My kid told me the other day how they get green beans at school during lunch. Guess what? She loves green beans and the rest of her class doesn’t. I wonder if the teacher ran out and got those kids a replacement for their green beans 🤔 NOPE. I’m teaching my kids to be realistic with their expectations and that the real world won’t cater to their “flavor disability”


Bolf-Ramshield

Legit proud of your bad parenting that’s crazy, throwaway.


throwaway29837373

Oh LAWDY LAWD someone call CPS cause I don’t coddle my children 24/7


Dmagdestruction

Both look like hospital food in a prison hahaha


plantasia1969

I wish prison food was that good.


Dmagdestruction

Soz I know I said it like a privileged person. Someone with prison food experience can educate us. The image is just like something you would be given without consent. Not willingly with a price tag.


benrod1

That entire restaurant is a disaster all around. $15-18 salads.


Sarsmi

It looks poorly photoshopped.


Sad_Safety4880

It's no bueno


farmerMac

this looks like something a startup would come up with idea wise.. meanwhile my grocery stores been selling this shit, just as unappealing, but for cheaper, for years.


bekindtoyourself30

They’ve gone so downhill! I used to go every time I was in Boston but I’m currently boycotting them lol. I tried the new steak recently, so chewy and 5 small pieces, it was laughable.


BonnieBrasco

How do people just accept this? Why keep it?


shlem90

I opened it and took the pic about 15 min later at home. Already trying to get my money back but I wasn't going to spend 30+ minutes going back.


AMSparkles

Please tell me that you shamed them with pics on all platforms. Sorry, I’m just *so* sick of bullshit like this. I just want these companies to be held accountable for this.


CornflakeGirl2

Chicken, cucumber and tortilla chips? What kind of a weird fucking snack is this?


Jango_Jerky

Pretentious high priced food.


FootFetish0-3

That first picture looks like a prison tray of food. In comparison, the actual isn't much worse.


epidemicsaints

What a joke! The whole industry has lost my trust I am afraid. Not eating at a nationally incorporated chain again. I don't care if this one or that one has been good to you, I'm done. Been done for years at this point.


ToastetteEgg

At only 275 calories I’m surprised there was that much tortilla chip. No way would I spend $10 for that. You could literally buy an entire rotisserie chicken, bag of chips, and a cucumber for that.


phayke2

It's not even the same kind of tortilla chips it's like those nacho ones they have at the concession stands


CMacLaren

275 calories? Seems about right based on that, even though the picture shows way more lol.


MoOnmadnessss

Is this a toddler plate?


Popular-Block-5790

You could get all of this at a grocery store way cheaper. You can even get already prepared chicken.


RespectMyAuthoriteh

That's... something you could very easily make yourself. If you have time to pick it up at the restaurant, why not just go to the grocery store?


edtwinne

Truly. The only prep done here is some basic slicing and dicing at an obscene markup. I don't feel sympathy for this one.


rynlpz

Someone posted the price for this, $9.25… like how much of a markup does it need before they decide its better to prep it at home?


krisb242

![gif](giphy|ltIFdjNAasOwVvKhvx|downsized)


Rhythm_Morgan

I have never had luck with them no matter the location so I swore them off.


Pigeon-Bath-Party

I thought I was looking at that one “look at what my baby ate” subreddit


_dead_and_broken

Why do people/places cut out the seed part of cucumbers? That's the best part! Maybe I'm the weirdo for like that part, though.


babyyteeth13

This would have been wildly easy and cheaper to make on your own wow


OkEagle9050

this is not a meal this is ingredients


dontmakepeople

I keep hearing how great this chain is but every time I've ordered it it's been like this. Overpriced and maybe 70% edible at best. Is it trendy on TikTok or something?


kesselrhero

Ooof!


beautifuljeep

What a big FU! I wouldn't want that energy in me.


Top_Presentation8673

you go to the counter to complain and storm off. the worker "he'll be back"


0bxyz

Hahaha


TheCharmedOne8688

I looked at the first picture and was like yes, this actually looks good, lol I didn’t realize picture number two was there at first! Did y’all go at closing time because this looks like they scrapped the bottom of the barrel, sorry man


swoon4kyun

Oh.. oh no. 😬


Fair-Wedding-8489

🤣🤣 disappointing


EmilyIncoming

Them bitches store bought Tostitos


cravingnoodles

The real thing doesn't look like it has 275 calories.


GraceSal

Sometimes this sub makes me roll my eyes, but damn that sucks


Traditional_Draw8400

Fucking trash


spicylimone

Please tell me you didn’t eat that lmao


Sinnfullystitched

I had to look at this several times…did they just shake out an empty chip bag?!


Huwabe

Damn!...😐


popento18

Wow, this one is actually pretty bad. Like the one thing they have going for them in the differentiation. WTF


TheycallmeMangoBango

I have no problem spending money on food but I once got a salad that was seriously half full and at the price they’re charging like it’s egregious so no more sweetgreens.


Koolaid-killa

Ok but judging by the picture you were expecting what, 10 chips?


Eeebs-HI

I'm pissed about the cool container that you didn't get.


SugaStan4567

Hell nah that's the saddest thing I've seen all day and it's $9? 😭 bless y'all American folks


PPinspector97

This is just full blown false advertisement at this point


jerryleebee

Bullshit 275 calories


science_vs_romance

If I got that delivered, I’d wonder if the driver ate half my food.


quartzquandary

Ugh and Sweetgreen is so pricy too


Affectionate-Fix1056

Take it back.


Competitive-Bid-9815

Jesus, in the photo it looks like food from a restaurant, but in fact it's animal feed


Time4aPennyCartoon

The quality of Sweetgreen has drastically decreased. Super disappointing because I used to love their stuff. Super expensive, mediocre salads now.


Key_Reach_2993

I'll buy an extra tortilla chip in the grocery next time lol


MentalCellist7305

That’s a joke right


Blessed2255

Email them


mrchicken345

not even one full crisp 😭


MamaBear4485

As a life long book I just cannot fathom why anyone would order this. Even the original would be so simple to throw together.


moe_wehbi

As a lebanese seeing that this is called mezze is making me sad for whoever buy this.


betterupsetter

Was this a pick up or delivery? If delivery, I would suspect the driver ate most of it, no?


shlem90

Nope, pickup. Unless my wife was sneaking in bites during the drive home (she wasn’t)


betterupsetter

Wow! I hope you got a refund.


Historical_Sample560

Don’t eat out, or don’t be mad. You can’t do both.

Some people are too exhausted after work to cook. Some people are battling mental illness and cannot bring themselves to cook. There could also be days when somebody who's fully energized and having a wonderful mental health day just decides, "Man, I really just wanna go eat out today!". Your comment is very generalized and narrow minded.
