I work in the complex in which Gia is on the first floor. I eat salads there for lunch every now and then, and while they're overpriced, they tend to be decent if I forget to pack a lunch. They are also very inconsistent. For example, today I requested an avocado on my salad, which ended up being so hard I couldn't cut it with the plastic knives that are available. Two things are wrong here: 1) the person making the salad put something that inedible on top of my salad as a chunk of avocado, since she too couldn't seem to cut it, and 2) the person I talked to at the front counter when I returned made me feel like it was somewhat unreasonable that I should want the cost of half an avocado refunded. The staff has gotten worse over the years I have worked here, and I urge you to think twice about paying as much as you will for the food that you get while spending time at the medical center.
