In case you’re wondering: the first photo shows the same exact drink from the same location — the only difference is the staff member who made it. (One of them was even a remake because the first one didn’t seem sweetened at all.)
The second photo shows how much drink I’m actually getting in my XL cup. Please also notice the label requesting “LITE ICE.” The third photo shows a regular order (so their normal amount of ice) and the fourth shows another “lite ice” ordered.
Multiple times when I’ve brought up the amount of empty space in my cup — and even times when I could barely insert the straw because of how much ice was packed in — I’ve been told there’s a “specific recipe” being followed, which is why the cup sometimes isn’t full. I was also told the justification is that the drink is “cheaper,” which honestly makes no sense.
As a Gold member (literally from ordering Joy Shots so often), I can tell when something is off. If it’s truly a recipe being followed, why is the color different and why is the ice amount inconsistent almost every time?
Also… why offer multiple size options if the XL isn’t consistently filled?
The same group of people I’ve encouraged to try Joy Shots are now disappointed too because of how inconsistent it’s been. And after looking at the reviews, it seems my friends and I aren’t the only ones experiencing this.
On this visit, I ordered a large iced coffee with cold foam and no ice. The barista who took my order was very sweet, and I appreciated his kindness—unfortunately, I did not catch his name, so this is not directed at him. When he handed me my drink, however, it was only half full. I politely asked if it could be filled, and at first he said he would add more coffee without charging me, which I thanked him for. But before he could, another staff member told him not to, saying I would need to pay extra because I ordered it without ice.
In the past, when I’ve ordered drinks without ice at this location, they’ve always been filled properly. I didn’t want to cause a scene, so I just asked him to put ice in it and left, but I was frustrated. I ordered a large and expected a full drink, not half of one.
