Went to the Chauncy Square Smoothie King in New York, and the staff was super pleasant and helpful. I couldn't make up my mind, and the cashier was very patient and made some good suggestions. I frequent smoothie King, and am always happy. However. While I was waiting for my smoothie to be made, what I can only assume was the manager walked in. He trounced in with stained sweatpants that barely managed to stay up, chewing with his mouth open (no mask) and without washing his hands dove into making the smoothies. While he was doing so, he berated his employees for not being quick or professional enough. And rather than speed up the service, took it upon himself to reveiw each and every detail his employees had already completed making the flow of service twice as slow. Not once did this man address the customers in the way he told his already friendly and helpful staff to do so. I have no doubt that the reason behind the sign advertising "hiring all positions" is a direct result of people not wanting to work under this character. The blatant lack of professionalism was astonishing, and I hope for his sake, the manager takes...
   Read moreThe service? Wonderful! Quality and taste of the smoothie? Excellent! But the way that the store is ran? Atrocious. There is this general manager, by the name of Joseph, who I have always been getting bad vibes from ever since Iâve commenced my patronage at smoothie king. But my experience tonight truly proved my suspicions correct. As it was very hot and humid today, I decided to go get myself some smoothie king, and when I answer the score, I noticed that it is very crowded, and I hear the supervisor, Demia, having a nervous break down (rightfully so). apparently Joesph, left her and and the other teenage young man working when he probably knew that he was needed! I praise Demia for her hard work and kindness (I donât know the name of the teenage boy working as well but thank you for doing your job and being professional) while being under such stress. And as for you Joseph, you need to either step up your game or quit working at smoothie king, because there needs to be a miracle set on that establishment and I know that youâre not going to...
   Read moreProbably the leading smoothie operation in the area, but it comes at a big price. What can I say about this place other than the staff is pretty cool. The prices are highly expensive but supposedly you can treat yourself to something that's spectacular, including a beverage that is basically a meal, blended into a liquid. Whether you purchase a fruity drink or a drink blended from vegetables, you're bound to get something very healthy, especially if you're a vegan. They also sell power bars and protein powder. The place is small and the hours of operation are pretty extensive. You can even call your order in on the phone. There is an 18 year old young man there that's been working for a year and a 1/2 and he certainly knows how to sell everything in that place and then some. There are basically 3 sizes of drinks, so go hungry and prepare to spend. When shakes range from $7 to $12, we have to hope it's going be nearly perfect. If you're a shake enthusiast's, health freak or bodybuilder,...
