点评:Last season I would religiously get an ice cream cone every weekend. Due to frequent visits as soon as I entered the shop the young girl would simply fill a waffle cone deep into its well with an extra 1/2 scoop on top of the already huge, tasty treat. Over the months we would take a moment to have a fun chat, short lived so that the chocolate wouldn't drip everywhere. It was a friendly atmosphere. Sweet P's opened this season in the midst of Lent where and when many customers abstain from certain items of indulgence or in part because of dietary restrictions. Since I was adhering the above-mentioned reasons, I was severely frowned upon to just go in to say a friendly hello. To my dismay wherein an embarrassing manor I was informed I was no longer welcome within its doors. Their idea of this occurrence was that I was annoying the employees, and they felt uncomfortable by me not ordering a cone but just stopping by to give a cordial hello, how are you doing this year. Oh well, even though Easter has passed no big loss since there are other places to get a tasty treat. However, do remember to go in with the intention of ordering something and say nothing other than "Hello, please, I would like...thank you." and don't forget a tip for the scoop gals. James M.
翻译:上个季度,我每个周末都会虔诚地买一个冰淇淋蛋筒。由于经常光顾,我一进店,那个小姑娘就会直接把一个华夫蛋筒塞得满满的,再在已经很大颗美味的冰淇淋上再加半勺。几个月来,我们都会抽出时间愉快地聊聊天,但时间很短,以免巧克力滴得到处都是。店里的氛围很友好。Sweet P's 这个季度正值大斋期,很多顾客会因为某些特殊饮食限制而戒掉某些食物。由于我遵守上述规定,所以直接进去友好地打个招呼就被店员皱起了眉头。令我沮丧的是,我尴尬地被告知不再欢迎我进店。他们认为我打扰了店员,而且他们对我没有点蛋筒,只是顺便过来热情地打个招呼感到很不舒服,问“今年过得怎么样?”好吧,虽然复活节已经过去了,但损失也不大,因为还有其他地方可以吃到美味的食物。不过,一定要记住,进去的时候要带着点心的心态,除了“您好,谢谢,我想要……谢谢”什么都别说。别忘了给服务员小费。James M.
