Despite occasional high-profile exceptions<\/a>, more Biglaw firms are mandating in-person work<\/a>, with three members of the Am Law 50 recently announcing four-day requirements.<\/p>\n

While their potential customer base may increase as a result of these moves, some go-to lunch spots for office workers are facing big economic challenges.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

As noted today by Business Insider<\/a>, fast-casual chains like Chipotle, Cava, and Sweetgreen have recently reported fewer visits from younger customers, and a drop in their stock price has followed. Chipotle lost 26% in the past month, Cava fell 27%, and Sweetgreen fell 21%.<\/p>\n

In earnings calls, the companies cited economic pressure, like higher unemployment and increasing costs, as a factor harming sales among Gen Z and millennials. (The recent emergence of \u201cslop bowls\u201d<\/a> as a term for their products probably isn\u2019t helping either.)<\/p>\n

In the short term, though, this dynamic might bring an upgrade to the ubiquitous desktop salad.\u00a0<\/p>\n

As Business Insider reports, Sweetgreen\u2019s CEO has described a turnaround plan that includes bigger servings of chicken and tofu, pricing changes, and other improvements.\u00a0<\/p>\n
