Smoothie King — Restaurant in Kansas City

I wanted to make a note that my family and I have been going to this spot since 2015 way before they knocked down the long John silvers and turned it into a star bucks on Barry 😂but today was absolutely disturbing in many ways! Let me start by saying Ive been in customer service all of my teen years and adult years so I know very well how customers are not always right but for 2 VERY NEW employees to argue with me about what I want in my smoothie makes absolutely no sense. I’ve ordered the same smoothie for 7 years SEVEN YEARS literally have had the owners daughter make it for me for 1 year straight and even helped me make it easier on the employees and taught me how to order it properly but not today! Today you could clearly tell that these kids did not know what they were doing and were very flustered trying to make things according to the menu which at first I did not mind. But when I had to people trying to make me feel dumb about a smoothie I’ve ordered from this specific place for 7 years is crazy. I’m telling them what I don’t want I do want in my drink and their telling me basically I don’t need this or that I’m my drink because it already has it in it. I understood that clear like the first 3 times but there is a button on the pos system that allows you to add more or substitute items ( I know this part because both my aunt and baby brother have worked here too) 😂they literally lost a 7 year long customer today. I miss kaylee and the owners daughter❤️ idk if it’s the employees or if it’s the lack of training and knowledge on the pos gladly driving to liberty atm to get my smoothie scared these two were going to spit in our smoothies if I continued to allow them to make it. And even though we were frustrated we did not be rude disrespectful nor curse at them towards them or make them feel stupid. But I did mention I’ve been...

The Staff that work at this Smoothie King is very, very lazy.

They have 2 drive thru windows, but almost all the time they have one closed, forcing all customers thru one drive lane. This allows the Staff to serve customers one at a time, at their leisure. Multi-Tasking or juggling more than one task at a time is something the staff at this Smoothie King is just not prepared to do. They also have a pick up window, so if you wanted you could park your car (and save Gas) and walk up and order that way, but that would require the staff at this Smoothie King to have to actually try, give an effort, multi-task and again, that is not something they are prepared to do, even with Missouri paying all workers $11/hr +

If there is absolutely no one in line, u can expect to wait 15 minutes before getting your order. If there is one person at the drive thru window, you can bank on spending at least 25, maybe 35 minutes before getting your order. If there are 2 cars ahead of you, you might as well shut off the engine and save gas because you're looking at 45 minutes before you're going to get your order.

And what is most frustrating, is that this is still true even if you order online and pay in advance! I ordered my 1 smoothie online. 1 smoothie. Online. Paid in advance. When I show up, it should be ready...but if there are 2, 3, 4, 5 cars waiting in line, I still have to wait in that line, in my car, burning Gas...just to pick up my one smoothie that I've already paid for and should be ready.

There are plenty of other places to get smoothies or cold drinks, and the less business this location gets, the less work the staff there will have to do, which is exactly what the staff at this...

The only time that I have visited the Smoothie King location near Zona Rosa was on July 7, 2022. The promise that the chain makes is to help their customers be an integral part of every health and fitness journey and inspire people to live a healthy and active lifestyle. In order for customers and people to be their best self and live life the best way, each of Smoothie King’s ingredients is chosen carefully, and every one of our blends is crafted masterfully. I am proud that Smoothie King tries their hardest to help customers eat healthier.

When I went to Smoothie King in July 2022, I decided to order something that would help me watch my weight. Since I am a person who likes to drink vegetables sometimes, I ordered a Mango Ginger smoothie with Metabolism Boost along with a couple of other protein supplements in it. I would like to say that all the ingredients in the Metabolism Boost Mango Ginger smoothie tasted delicious when mixed together.

If you are a person who is looking for smoothies that help your daily goals, ambitions, and other dietary plans, Smoothie King is the place to order smoothies for whichever health purpose is needed to achieve your goals of staying healthy, as long as you do not eat as much as you usually do. I would say to eat about only 2 meals a day in order to lose weight faster, and even make a smoothie one of your 2 daily meals. One tip that I would suggest to be healthy is to not eat full meals if you do not feel hungry at all, but snack on healthy things if you are feeling a little bit peckish to...
