    Why is that you always have the rudest employees? They just seem mad all the time. I say, "thank you" and they dont respond at all. Please work on your morale or training or something. These kids are just so put out to be nice when someone is being nice to them.

    the women working on 12/28 around 1:30 were so rude for absolutely no reason. - i work as a server at a restaurant in town- so i get lunch rush, rude customers, i get long hours, i try to go out of my way to be kind to service workers. the workers are always so rude here. but this day in particular was it for me, so im writing a review- get a smoothie somewhere else, these workers seem to go out of their way to be rude- even to kind customers.

    The front counter girl slammed every thing she touched and has the face that says I hate this job. And even spoke like it as well. Great food just don't like the energy.
