Sprouts Sandwiches are Dead
We went to get sandwiches at our local Sprouts grocery store today and right off the bat I was worried about the prospects because they have switched to touchscreens for ordering. I know everyone is doing this and it's awful every time, but some times are worse than others and Sprouts is pretty bad. There's no option to leave any sorts of notes and the options it gives you are so limited that you really need to be able to leave notes. For instance, I wanted cheddar cheese but I wanted double. No option for extra cheese. So I selected cheddar and provolone (I would have happily selected cheddar and havarti and left it at that but they seem to have also used this as an excuse to eliminate options so havarti was not an option) and I told the gal at the sandwich counter that I had to select provolone but I really just want double cheddar. Too bad, so sad. She doesn't care what the customer actually wants, only what the screen tells her. In the end, I got a sandwich that I ended up only eating half of and throwing the rest away. If I hadn't been so starving, I probably would have tossed the whole thing. There was more pickle than meat, the bread was soggy from the outside (!?!) and of course, I did get provolone with my cheddar instead of double cheddar. So Sprouts sandwiches are dead. They used to be sooooo good. It's a shame. From now on, if I see any system other than the customer walking along with the sandwich maker and guiding each ingredient as they go, I'm just going to turn around and walk away. I don't trust anyone but my own mother to make a sandwich for me without me watching as you make it. Fix this, Sprouts.
