I placed an order online and came to pick it up this morning. I went through the drive-through and the lady just said order when you’re ready so I said twice that I have a pick up order and they completely ignored me so after I sat there for a while I drove around to the window and I saw a girl run to the back and nobody came to the window so eventually I went inside and she said, sometimes her headset turns off that’s why she couldn’t hear me, but there was no greeting no hey how are you or a goodbye or anything and horrible customer service

Have previously enjoyed but recent visits have been lackluster with longer wait times than other locations and lots of mistakes. Writing a review this time because the same smoothie I’ve been ordering for years had a STRONG soap flavor today… hope I don’t have any bad effects from ingesting it

Had to drive through the drive-thru twice to get someone to answer. We'd tried the door but a sign said drive-thru only. I said hello a few times to the microphone. When the person did answer, she said, "You can order now." I ordered a Beach Bum. No response. I asked if she needed the size. "No." So hearing nothing else, I pulled around to the window. It opened, she held out her hand. I gave her my credit card. She swiped and then asked if I wanted my receipt. I said yes. So she handed my card and the receipt to me. Window closed. Window opened. Out popped the drink. I took it, waiting for a "enjoy" or "thank you" or "have a good day" or even "goodbye" but the window closed. So off we went. Tasted the Beach Bum on our way up the mountain: it was tasteless strawberry water. Left out the other ingredients. Dude. Someone go help that place out.

I placed an online order and when I arrived the place was closed. I went back to the location to get my money back and the employee sent me to the Whitesburg location. I asked if there was a manager I could talk to at the whitesburg location the employee said yes how can I help you. I assumed she was the manager so I explained, then she told me they’re under new management and she was going to take it to the manager 🙃. Anyway please return my money and I’ll change my review. Thanks 🙂
