My husband found GUM in his smoothie. Boycott this place. That kinda behavior is extremely immature and unprofessional. Truly disgusting.

The service is top tier at this location. I ordered ahead on the mobile app one day, as I usually do, and they happened to be out of something I wanted. They took the time to call me and let me know ahead of time and even offered me alternatives. Great staff and location.

I just visited this location on 2/26 @12:43pm.
While placing my order at the menu screen, the rep stated, ‘I can’t hear you, can you speak up.’ Now this is not unusual, but the tone was not very friendly, however I didn’t take it personally.
I pulled up to the first window, but there was no one there. Shortly after, a young lady over to the window view but did not acknowledge me. I waited for a minute, not knowing if I should pull up to second window. I waved, but received no attention or acknowledgment. So I pulled to the second window.
The young lady at the second window say opened the window and while using her thumb to demonstrate said, ‘First window’. I said, ‘oh I didn’t know, she didn’t say anything’. She replied, ‘yea that was me, I saw you. First window.’ I said, ‘well can I just pay you’, and attempted to hand her a $20 bill. She replied back, ‘First window’, slammed the window in my face and walked off.
Assuming I was supposed to oblige her very rude order, to back up in the drive thru line, as well pay for such service, I politely left and took my valued business to another Tropical Smoothie, in Birmingham, where the service is always pleasant.
As a small business owner, we all know that customer service is paramount to our success. I usually show grace in particular situations, however, I won’t expect better service from this location too soon.
