    Smoothies and food are good but please STOP asking for tips for drive thru orders! You are not a dine in restaurant with servers and waiters. If you want your employees to make more money then pay them more and stop trying to pass the buck to your customers!

    The employee who was taking my order through the drive thru decided to take the trash out mid order and she swore about having a hard time with the door. And then there was a long piece of hair inside my wrap that I pulled from my mouth. Disgusting.
