Not only was my smoothie made wrong but also took 20 minutes to correct. This is not the first incident either, last time I came in person everyone had an attitude.

Please do better at hiring people with “good” customer service and attitudes. I’m so sick and tired of going to these fast food establishments and the workers don’t greet, don’t say thank you, don’t say hello, don’t ask how you are doing, don’t say ANYTHING. Managers, please enforce customer service. It makes such a difference. If you are not in the mood to “people” that day or any day, stay home or find a job that doesn’t deal with the general public. The lady that ran my food out didn’t speak. Even after I said: “thank you, I appreciate you” she just walked off. I’m so done. Managers, please do better with who you hire!

I’m writing this review as I just left this location and unfortunately the customer service is absolutely horrible at 10:30 in the morning. The cashier never said hello, and when I got my card back she asked if I could pull up to the door to retrieve my order but closed the window before I could even acknowledge her to say a word and say ok. I guess she assumed I heard her. When I received my order, she reached it out of the door in the most awkward way and I waited a few seconds while looking at her to see if she’d at least say “here’s your order” or “thank you”. There was no verbal communication and to be fair, the service thru the drive thru at this location is never great but at this point the team needs training on customer service and people skills or at least the young lady with brown/black long braids that serviced me today. A smile and a thank you should be simple..
