Spent over 45 minutes in the drive-through for one smoothie. Just a bunch of kids standing around in the restaurant doing nothing no apology no explanation.

Sat in line for 25 mins before I just left and went somewhere else. Crazy part is after I read the reviews I’m glad I left. We need a community commission over here to get businesses like this out of here.
