Their app isn't working for the .99 cents smoothie and the manager, Macy, didn't care!

False Advertising Alert 🚫
There’s a promotional sign in the window at this Tropical Smoothie location advertising a $0.99 smoothie deal. I followed all the instructions—downloaded the app, favorited a Michigan location, and even waited over a week—but due to app glitches, I was unable to redeem the offer.
When I spoke with Macy, the General Manager and highest-ranking employee on site, she told me this was the fourth time today she’s had to explain the same issue. Despite meeting all the promo requirements, she said there was nothing they could do to honor it. I asked to speak with her superior, but she claimed she wasn’t allowed to provide that information and said, “I just work here.”
I then requested a discount on my order as a goodwill gesture, but Macy said employees are not given any ability to apply discounts. I was directed to a broken “Contact Us” link in the app, which I was told could take anywhere from 24 hours to several weeks to fix. Meanwhile, I’m standing here ready to use the promo.
I also suggested the sign be removed since it’s misleading and clearly tied to a known, unresolved issue. Macy refused, citing corporate orders.
I’m extremely disappointed with both Macy’s handling of the situation and Tropical Smoothie’s lack of accountability. I won’t be returning to this or any other location.

This place makes the absolute best smoothies around. I've had plenty of those healthy, smoothie-like drinks from other places, and they're "ok" .... but they never taste as good as a smoothie from Tropical Smoothie Cafe. The Watermelon Mojito is excellent as are the new tropical flavors. I really like the new bowls too. Download the app and they'll have your food waiting for you when you arrive...easy-peasy!!!
