Smoothie King — Restaurant in Longview

I normally don't post bad reviews, and I'm sure my review will get deleted as my coworker had a bad review that she posted as well a few weeks ago and it got deleted shortly after, about CODY as well. I had a terrible encounter with him, I told him I wanted a LARGE smoothie the one that is $5.00. Got up to the window, no social skills whatsoever for one. He looks at me and asks me "you wanted the one that was really big right?" and I responded with, "the standard large, the one that is $5.00 as I told you when ordering." He then continues to tell me that my total is 11 dollars and some change. Confused, still handing him the money, I tell him that that shouldn't be right, he responds with "oh sorry" no try to fix anything, hands me my change and shuts the window I wouldn't have been as angry if he would've even acted like he cared or even tried to fix it. This place needs better customer service, remember you work for the public. Will never return to this...

For $9 meal replacement..you would think that the employees would at least have a rudimentary knowledge of what they are selling. When I asked what enzymes we're in the probiotics (a .99 add in) she gave me a list of the fillers and binders) When I asked if they had any protein other than whey based protein...she did not know what I was referring to...when I mentioned the vegan protein ..she then said it was plant based...when I asked which plants were in the vegan protein...she was clueless..certainly they had a list of ingredients some where? I was just expecting to have the employees know a little something about the smoothies that they make... considering that someone who makes minimum wage would have to work an hour to pay for just one of Smoothie Kings highly touted...

My smoothie wasn't bad or anything and the service was very friendly. My only issues were that I didn't expect it to be so costly (and of course I forgot to bring my coupons to save me some money). Also, I thought it would just be creamy because every other smoothie I get from anywhere else always is creamy. It wasn't creamy like I thought it would be. I ordered something really sweet with strawberry, banana, and blueberry. They recommended the angel food smoothie and said they would just added blueberry. The blueberry made it too tart, and they didn't put any extra sweetener in it or anything. I ended up buying some vanilla ice cream elsewhere and mixing it in, so my smoothie world be more sweet and more creamy. Next time, I'll know...
