I posted a complaint and i never received a response, this leads me to believe that the head does not know what the tail is doing, if i cant even get an from Corporate, i can only assume all complaints go unanswered. This means existing problems continue with no recourse, this is not how a business should operate
I recently heard that u have taken over Roundtable pizza restraunts. There is a location in fontana california 11617 buliding 7 next to auto zone that needs to be Suprise inspected immediatley.

Upon approaching the counter to place an order Michelle appeared to be in a very bad mood. The other young lady, Lily, was socializing with another young woman and boy instead of working. Michelle asked Lilly to stop speaking with the other individuals as there were customers waiting. When we placed our order Michelle’s tone sounded very irritated. There was obvious ongoing tension between Michelle and Lily which carried over into the customer experience at no fault of our own. As we waited patiently, we noticed that the cook time for our food was taking longer than expected. My husband is a Chef and noticed Lily appeared upset. In an attempt to help, he made a suggestion to cook the dogs and fries at the same time to expedite the orders. Lily was not welcoming of his suggestion and she was very snippy/rude and condescending in her response. At this point, we no longer wanted our order as we felt mistreated from the beginning. We requested a refund. Lily took it upon herself to throw our food into the trash and inform us that there are NO refunds. We demanded to speak to a manager and Michelle informed us that the manager is on vacation and we will have to wait a week to speak with her. There was no attempt to provide us with the manager name or direct contact phone number. We were denied a refund, received no food and were told that we would have to wait a week to address this issue. This response is unacceptable. Mind you this has nothing to do with the value of our purchase, it was only $10.01. It was a matter of principle and lack of professionalism on the part of these young ladies. It is evident that this situation would be a great opportunity for training. After demanding a refund multiple times, Michelle finally offered a general phone number to file a complaint. With given very little options and being embarrassed from all of the attention we were receiving from surrounding patrons, we requested that they give us our food and the phone number to file a complaint. We never received an apology and Lily felt compelled to continue to argue with us to justify her actions. We were completely taken back by this whole experience and the lack of training these young ladies have. This was our last stop in the mall before heading home and we could not believe how we were treated and the lack of empathy shown by these young ladies. It should not matter what personal issues are going on amongst the workers, the customers should never be mistreated in this manner. We were disrespected and embarrassed by this entire situation. We request that your company retain the video surveillance as evidence. This is a great opportunity for training at this location. In addition, the reviews on Yelp support that this location is in desperate need of either new staff or serious customer service training. We will never return to HTOS and we will make sure that anyone we encounter does not go there either.
I have been To HOS at The Blvd Mall in Vegas for years and always received excellent fast and friendly service up until last year my 3 most frequent visits with in a 12 month period were unprofessional experiences the 2 young ladies who waited on me ( 1 girl I had twice) where acting as if I were at there home .
