    I was in this past week with my daughter getting our daily smoothies together, and when we arrived I noticed that it was a tad bit busy in there and the workers were working so hard getting orders done and still displaying great customer service even when you could see that they were behind an short staffed, but one person that stood out the most was “ Ray” he expressed his concern of being behind but wanted to make sure that me and my daughter both still had a great experience, and I couldn’t but help leave this review to hope that his work doesn’t go unnoticed, thank you again Ray
