    If this is the Tropical Smoothie next to Floor and Decor, the male owner took his own tip out of my cash. Naughty work ethics... 👿

    Really disappointed with this location. They give the option for curbside pickup on their website when you order, but when you pull up right outside the store, nobody comes. This happened twice recently. The first time, I called them and they sounded annoyed but said they would bring my order out. But then items were missing from my order so I had to go inside anyways. Then the second time, I called and said I was there for a curbside order and was rudely told "We don't do that no mo." I appreciate curbside pickup because I have small children and getting them in and out of their car seats can be a hassle, especially if one is sleeping, just to grab a smoothie. This is in an area with lots of families so I know I'm not the only one who feels this way. The employees at this location are just lazy.

    I debated leaving a review, because I ordered my food through doordash and was credited for my order there, but I’m not sure if any TS employees were alerted and I think people should be aware of my recent experience. I have been to this location a few times, and I’ve always had good experiences. However, this time, right in the middle of my flatbread was a red strand of hair. I was already halfway through eating it at the point where I found it. I understand that mistakes happen, but I was pretty grossed out. Not really sure how you get hair in food.
