Booster Juice — Restaurant in Calgary

Completely Disappointing Experience – Avoid This Location!

I’ve been to multiple Booster Juice locations in Calgary, and I have never had such a terrible experience. From the moment we walked in, the attitude from the staff was shocking. The lady at the till was incredibly rude, refusing to customize our drinks and acting as if she was some kind of “smoothie expert,” telling us certain fruits and vegetables “aren’t meant to go together” based on her own taste buds. Excuse me? Since when do personal opinions dictate customer service?

Meanwhile, the guy making the smoothies was dancing around the whole time like it was his own personal music video. While a little enthusiasm is fine, this was over the top and unprofessional. And then, after finally making our drinks, he kept going on and on about how “this location is the best in Calgary” and how our smoothies “taste so good” because they’re “better than the other locations.”

Well, let me tell you—they weren’t. The smoothies were mediocre at best, and the whole experience left a bad taste in my mouth (literally and figuratively). Instead of bragging about how much “better” they are, maybe they should focus on treating customers with respect and making drinks the way people actually want them. Definitely won’t be coming back to...

Extremely lazy employees, especially the short guy with glasses. I’m lactose intolerant and whenever I call ahead of time to make a custom order they claim the meat is still frozen. Last time I called to place an order ahead of time because I was close-by, he claimed they were busy but I was already nearby so it was too late to go to a different location. I came in three minutes later and guess what? There was only one customer in the store. Tried calling the next day to place an order and it didn’t go through, so I tried with a different number on the same phone and guess what it went through. So yeah they literally blocked my number because making a panini without cheese is too much work. Yet they always take my tip. Most likely the last time I’ll...

I come in and I'm greeted by the employee: Hi what can I get for you? And I say: Give me a moment I'm just going to take a look at your menu. 20 seconds go by and he says again: What can I get for you? I look at him and he looks at me as if I'm wasting his time, but there is no other customer at the store except me. I ordered my smoothie without having read all the choices cause he was obviously in a hurry.

That day I started feeling a pinch in my throat, and 2 days later I came down with a nasty cough and cold chest infection.

I can't pinpoint for sure if it was due to this smoothie because it tasted great; and also because I had another meal at a different place that same morning, but needless to say it is...
