    Took for ever to make smoothies. The workers don’t express any emotions, there like literal sloths. They move with no purpose at all. Never again.

    Terrible service, I came in to scan my QR codes from Tmobile for a free tropical smoothie OR bowl. The cashier scanned my code but then proceeded to say it was already used but it was cause SHE scanned it. Then she called the lady in the back,(who was super rude) the customers behind me saw what was happening and tried helping me but the kitchen lady rudely said “Im not talking to you guys im talking to her”. When all they did was try go help me. She was a dark skinned lady, I didnt get her name. I left very upset, terrible attitude and service I recieved today. Even the customers behind me chose to order online after they saw!

    Came in with my Girlfriend to order(our first experience at a tropical smoothie), staff was having side conversations that seemed nothing to do with working. We ordered and the woman taking our order (maybe Lisa) had an attitude that was very unwelcoming. After we waited for our order 2 smoothies, She called out our order and while we picked them up I asked a “what is what” since there was once different between them and she replied VERY Rudely with an Attitude telling me that they are labeled…. the smoothie was definitely wayyyy to thick to drink… we will DEFINITELY CHOOSE ANOTHER LOCATION TO TRY AND HOPEFULLY A BETTER RESULT… would not recommend at all…
