    This store needs help. We've come by multiple times to order for our family and they've been out of bananas and peanut butter. Seriously?! So many items on the menu require bananas. Wal Mart right next door has bananas. It's poor preparation on their part and very frustrating for us as customers.

    Extremely understaffed. Friendly and kind employees but definitely overworked. Don't expect this to be a quick stop option for food!

    Me and my fiance walked in and said hello twice to different workers and they did not even look at us or say anything. I understand if your busy but at least tell us to give us a moment if that's the case. We wanted to ask them a question but they didn't even take a moment to look at us so we left. They had not acknowledged us leaving either.

    Let me start off by saying whoever made both my smoothies this morning (8/16) did a fantastic job! Best one I've had in a very long time. I did encounter a problem that was not the employees fault - more along the lines of corp or the owner. Since I can remember you could order online and pickup at drive thru but now I'm being forced to come in. Very silly procedure/rule. I'm being punished for using the order ahead basically. Going forward I won't be using the app anymore unless I need to upload my points...
