| - Grand Opening Night at For Goodness Shake
Super long line to order, super long wait for our shake.
I chose the $5.99 Mids Kid in a Candy Shop which consisted of Non-Fat Yogurt, M&Ms, Kit Kat, and Twix. The Husband chose the $5.99 Mids Strawberry Shortstack which consisted of Non-Fat Yogurt, Pancakes, Strawberries, and Strawberry Syrup.
The first thing I noticed as I watched the employee pour out the shakes was how super runny it was. In retrospect, I did see the blenders before they were blended and was faintly aware that the yogurt was in a liquid form. Ultimately, the yogurt never had a chance to set up, get cold and freeze up a bit. The machines were not prepared to handle the crowds. The staff were basically blending a liquid base along with toppings, and not for very long I might add. We ended up throwing ours out and when I poured mine down the sink, large chunks of candy were still present. The super large straws were definitely not a match for this runny shake. We didn't bring any canned goods with us, so we couldn't take advantage of their 50% off grand opening special. That's $12 down the drain, literally.
What made this experience even worse was the fact that the Husband got sick. He was on the toilet throughout the night and morning and even tried going to work. Alas, he came home early to continue the toilet visits in the comfort of our own home. I don't think it was the yogurt that made him sick but perhaps the pancakes were what did it. Sadly, I don't think he'll ever want to set foot back into that place again. Too bad as I love their Three Square connection of donating a meal for every shake/smoothie purchased.
The grand opening was nice with music, face painting, and games and the staff were nice too. Perhaps they should have stopped selling and just given out samples that were the right consistency. Quality control wasn't there that evening and the employees should have spoke up when they saw how runny the yogurt/shakes were.
