I recently visited Tropical Smoothie Cafe to purchase an acai bowl. To my disappointment, the product was served completely frozen and impossible to eat immediately. In my experience, acai bowls are supposed to be creamy. When I called the cafe to address the issue, I was informed that this is their standard practice, as they serve the acai mixture frozen and customers are expected to wait for it to thaw. This was not communicated to me at the time of purchase, and my intention was to enjoy the bowl right away, not wait for it to defrost.

No apology, no sense of correction, no humility nothing. I am beyond annoyed and...
Read moreHave been standing I'm line for 10 minutes. No one said hi thanks for coming in, I'll be with you in just a sec, we get nothing. No eye contact, no smile, no nod. So I debated do I leave and drive to next tropical smoothie or do i place an order online?" We'll i decided to skip the heat just order online. Wait 2 more minutes another customer walks in and immediately the girl looks at him and acknowledged him. So not to upset me she comes over to counter and says she was next. I walk up and say I placed online now. I'm number 6 on monitor. You can just start making it, seeing I have been standing here. She apologized and said they have a rush and walked away. "WHAT DOES THAT MEAN I STILL MUST WAIT?" APPARENTLY DRIVE THROUGH IS MORE IMPORTANT!! Kids managing...
