Smoothie King — Restaurant in Effingham

The three women working here are the most lack-luster bunch I’ve ever met in a fast food joint. Me and my family came here returning from a vacation and this was our first time going to a Smoothie King. The workers were very pushy in getting us to make orders but we needed a few moments to look over the menu.
