    I have gone to this location countless times and used the same card. Today I pulled through the drive thru and ordered. Gave the young man my card and for whatever reason it wasn’t, scanning, or reading the chip. So he asks the older white lady (probably the shift manager)—who weeks prior after taking my order in the drive thru, set my card down and walked away without giving me back my card or receipt. I had to show another employee my ID to get my card back. Anyway, she just walks by and tells him—it’s the card and the machines been fine all day, then left. No assistance whatsoever. So I left went up the shopping center to Chick-fil-A, used the exact same card and purchased my meal. I’ll never go back to the Tropical Smoothie in the Haygood Shopping center. Especially with that woman there.

    This establishment consistently provides subpar customer service. The employees lack the necessary communication skills, resulting in an exceptionally long waiting time of 15 minutes for a single transaction. Notably, no customers were observed in the store actively placing orders. This is my second visit to this location, and both experiences have been equally disappointing. Consequently, I will refrain from patronizing this establishment in the future.
