"When I pulled up to the drive-thru and explained the situation to the associate, letting him know I just wanted to buy one 16oz Ranch and one 2-liter soda, he gave me a perplexed look and walked away. After a moment, he returned and informed me that his manager was busy and asked if I could park and come inside. At this point, I was understandably frustrated and clarified that I wasn’t looking for any manager’s assistance or anything for free; I merely wanted to buy those items and leave. He walked away again. Then, an older man with a bald head and a goatee came to the window and asked what I needed, which I found quite unprofessional. I reiterated my request and explained that I didn’t want anything for free and no manager was needed. He laughed and closed the drive-thru window, which escalated my annoyance to genuine anger. While waiting, I noticed a large sign advertising the various positions they were hiring for, which led me to think, "With a manager like this, it's no surprise they can’t keep employees." I believe that managers like him do not just come into existence; they behave this way because they are not held accountable by upper management. I can’t really blame the man; he’s likely just reflecting the standards set by his superiors. This experience has changed my perception of Mazzio's, and I will no longer support any of their locations. I will also share my experience with friends, family, and colleagues. While it may not seem like a significant impact, I stand by my decision after experiences like this. It's similar to the reason I haven’t given Chick-Fil-A my business in 15 years. I used to order from Mazzio's for our weekly Family Movie Nights and corporate pizza parties, but not anymore. I’m sure there are better options available that won't treat customers this way. I can't help but chuckle at the irony of it all."
