So, I am a regular at the smoothie king down the street (zuhmbel location, id give them 7/5 stars) . I went to this location twice because it is close to my work and both times it was horrendous. The last time I went in, some girl (i think her name was paige maybe) made the first smoothie king shake I have ever had that was inedible. I waited like 5-10 mins even though they were not very busy. The young lady combined the ingredients...blended the smoothie for a few mins. Then stared at the blender in horror..passed it around to the two extremely old women working with her.
