    No matter how many times I order online I either never get my food or they mess up somehow. They never pick up the phone and their service is absolute garbage. Worst location here in Greensboro will never order from here again

    If you have a quick 30 minutes to spare to wait for your smoothie ticket to even be pulled to make, even if you order ahead, then 10/10. If you want your smoothie made anywhere close to their “promise” time, 0/10. I watched one young man take about 6 in-person orders while the online tickets came through while other employees walked around the store. I eventually got the manager, who was sitting down at a table, talking to another employee who had walked in, chat while my guy was drowning in orders. No one helped him til I brought it to her attention, and YEA, I’d say something again because he needed help and none of the other people in the entire building were helping this poor guy. He gets 10/10 stars too.
