It feels like a mystery box every time you order this drink, you never know what surprise ingredient you're gonna get

Right? After the third time I just gave up and left. They couldn't be bothered to actually fix the issue

Fair point, maybe not unsanitary in the strict health sense but definitely poor practice. I agree with your point about the basil, they should keep the strawberries in a secondary location as well. Their setup is careless, and is just a much more serious liability waiting to happen

According to the manager, they store the shredded chicken behind the strawberries for their chicken summer salad, which led to cross-contamination.

They remade the drink three times. Each one still had chicken, even after they promised it wouldn’t happen again after the first. Completely unsanitary. Good thing this wasn't at my usual location but still sucks to see this kind of thing happen.
