    I went in to get my girlfriend a smoothie and a cup of water since we were walking home. I asked for a courtesy cup of water and they said they would still charge me for the water. The manager was listening on the side and said to just give me the cup of water. She did not even fill the cup to the top or add ice. She also seemed very annoyed when I had to grab my wallet from my girlfriend who was outside. She acted like she had better things to do than to do her job taking my order. I waited 10 mins for a smoothie when there was noone else insode the store and 1 car in the drive through and 3 or 4 employees there. I noticed the girls were to busy chit chatting and standing around than to make my drink. When I finally got the drink (mocha madness) it tasted very artificial. Not quite like chocolate or mocha. Nothing about it tasted like quality.

    Too busy chatting with coworkers. Drink tasted like they didn't wash the machine before making my drink I got a mocha madness and it somehow had a banana after taste. It wasn't a smoothie it was mostly liquid. It was thick, but had like a pound of chocolate syrup. And I think that's where the thickness came from. I also added protein to it. And feel like it had none. Unless it just wasn't blended properly. This place sucks and will not be spending 8 dollars of my hard earned cash on a waste. Especially towards teens who don't know how to do their jobs.

    Regular customer of this place, the one and only time I had a mistake in my food, the General Manager Andrew swooped in from his break to personally make me a replacement! Where every other place loves to ignore you until they're ready, I did not expect such kindness or understanding instead, thank you so much Andrew! :D

    we had just placed an order and the app said it would be ready in 10 minutes so we sat inside to get out of the heat. 10 minutes had passed so we figured it would be ready and were just about to go pick up our order when a worker came stomping to the table and very rudely asked what we were waiting around for and told us “next time just go up to the counter” as if we were stupid and couldn’t read the sign that said “pick up orders”. these employees need to learn customer service skills because apparently it’s illegal to sit in a restaurant that has seating.
