I ordered a strawberry banana smoothie. My doctor advised me to avoid both sugar and caffeine, so I chose this drink thinking it would naturally be sweet enough from the fruits.
However, as soon as I took a sip, I could taste an artificial sweetness that clearly didn’t come from banana or strawberry — it was way too sweet for me. I went back to the shop and asked if they had added sugar, and they said yes. They also told me that next time, I should ask for “no sugar.”

This is not how you treat customers. I won’t be returning to this location again. The other two employees, the slightly older woman and the...
