At my new company my coworkers always recommend sweetgreen and I fucking hate it. 20 bucks for a salad with too much kale and can of sparkling water.

[-] SpiderFarmer@hexbear.net 41 points 2 months ago

Also a company with ties to Israel. So it's shitty on a few levels.

The salads are nice when somebody else was buying. Had a BS corporate event where they had unlimited free kale parmasean salads and they were actually good, but they better be at that price

We had a local chain place near me that I always loved. It was salads, like good ones, for ~$10. Some cheaper. Breakfast burritos like $3 and giant iced coffee like $1. Wonder if it's still good prices. As they opened more locations they actually kept lowering their prices. Hope they still out there.

agreed i tried it once and it was not that good or worth it at all. i could make better salads at home for probably 1/3 the cost. i guess convenience is what draws people to it?

We need your $15 donation by the end of the night to STOP TRUMP.

Dear Hexbear user,

We set a big goal to get our fight fund program off the ground, but the truth is, we’re not on track to hit it.

After what we’ve seen of a new Trump administration, our task is clear.

Donald Trump is on a mission to bring our country back to a time when we had fewer rights and freedoms than we do today. And he and his allies are building a government full of sycophants who care more about prosecuting political enemies than providing for the American people.

We need every member of this team to step up and make sure he knows we won’t back down.

Our records show that you haven’t pitched in to support our campaign’s fight fund program yet. This is one of our most critical fundraising moments, so can you donate $50 for the first time today?

Just a stack of grifters in a lanyard

[-] goferking0@lemmy.sdf.org 34 points 2 months ago

but the dems are the only ones can stop trump. We can't be critical of them before an election

[-] corgiwithalaptop@hexbear.net 20 points 2 months ago

This is the most important election of our lives!

If they don't win sweet greens will never get to Delaware!... Wtf did they stay in Delaware

[-] bruhbeans@lemmy.ml 4 points 2 months ago

"welcome back"

[-] ManFreakBeast@hexbear.net 53 points 2 months ago

Couldn't you just have gotten a platter of veggies and dip and some sandwiches form like a grocery store or something?

Or fucking pizza?

[-] CoolerOpposide@hexbear.net 49 points 2 months ago

Also supporting local business would probably turn out more voters than the actual campaigning

[-] regul@hexbear.net 39 points 2 months ago

Or just a fuckload of kale at the supermarket and made a giant salad yourselves?

[-] Bobson_Dugnutt@hexbear.net 40 points 2 months ago

These people have never prepared a meal for themselves

[-] SorosFootSoldier@hexbear.net 39 points 2 months ago

For $11 and change I can get a large pizza from my place.

[-] SorosFootSoldier@hexbear.net 49 points 2 months ago

Nothing screams "working class" like a $15 salad.

[-] CoolerOpposide@hexbear.net 49 points 2 months ago

Shipped in from out of state too. No need to have some kind of actual connection with the people of the community who might vote for you if your campaign has 50 people tipping them every day

[-] Biddles@hexbear.net 20 points 2 months ago

In fairness, Wilmington is less than an hour away from sweet greens in Philly

[-] djsaskdja@reddthat.com 9 points 2 months ago

Not gonna lie I struggle to find a decent lunch spot for less than $15 these days. A $10 lunch from 2019 costs $15 in 2024.

[-] InevitableSwing@hexbear.net 46 points 2 months ago

In 15 weeks Kamala's $1,500,000,000 war chest wasn't just going to spend itself. And I wonder what the actual cost of the salads was including delivery and grifting.

[-] regul@hexbear.net 33 points 2 months ago

They clarify in later tweets that it was staffers paying for their own individual salads every day and not campaign funds. But still, these guys are so poisoned that they have to have their expensive salads every day.

And, I guess, technically, their wages are campaign funds.

[-] CoolerOpposide@hexbear.net 36 points 2 months ago

Paid staffers buying the campaign’s recommended salads isn’t technically the campaign buying salads I guess

[-] ElChapoDeChapo@hexbear.net 18 points 2 months ago

Yeah but shipping individual salads across state lines is still deranged

[-] egg1918@hexbear.net 41 points 2 months ago

Failson/daughter makework program

[-] MayoPete@hexbear.net 38 points 2 months ago

These are the people who named their daughters Khaleesi

[-] Philosophosphorous@hexbear.net 17 points 2 months ago

lol. lmao even.

[-] RiotDoll@hexbear.net 11 points 2 months ago

yeah this is what i'd make my drug running look like; bougie salads are easier to explain than the logistics of supplying adrenochrome to an entire campaign staff

[-] WhyEssEff@hexbear.net 9 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

reminded of the bit in a recent chapo about how 'if the white house spent the costs of shipping and handling to get real christmas trees from a district across the country over plastic christmas trees just because a dem senator has them in their district, there would be an entire news cycle cut out to mock how incompetent a cost that is'
