点评:After living in France for 8 years, I was so excited to find this cafe in Grimsby. I came with a friend on a Friday afternoon, we were the only customers in the establishment. As soon as we walked in, we were met with an unsmiling cashier, no welcome, then passed on to a male server who informed us that we couldn't enter the dining room unless we spent at least 15$. We said that was fine, he then showed us the menu to make sure we would choose something expensive enough and checked his phone in front of us before taking us into the empty dining room. I suppose this should have been a major red flag but my friend and I were so excited to eat some French food that we brushed it off.
As we sat down, we noticed loud, pumping club music coming from a speaker placed near us. We could barely hear each other speak and asked the server to please turn it down a little, to which he obliged. No more than 30 seconds had passed and the music was turned up again to full volume. The manager of the establishment came into the dining room, hands on hips, and informed us that the speaker and music had to stay in order to drown out the sound of the upstairs toilets flushing (?????). She said they "couldn't have customers eating and hearing toilets flush" as it turns them off their food. We sat open mouthed, as the ONLY CUSTOMERS IN THE CAFE, totally shocked at her rude tone and ludicrous reasoning. As she turned around to storm off, no apology or shred of customer service, we quickly packed up our things and left.
We were extremely disappointed and will not recommend anyone to come to this cafe. I thought living in France had prepared me for bad customer service but this was unheard of. Seriously, go somewhere else where they actually care about their customers!

当我们坐下时,我们注意到从我们附近的扬声器中传出响亮、激昂的俱乐部音乐。我们几乎听不到对方说话,并要求服务器将音量调小一点,他不得不这样做。不到 30 秒过去了,音乐又开到最大音量。该机构的经理走进餐厅,双手放在臀部,并告诉我们必须留下扬声器和音乐,以盖过楼上厕所冲水的声音 (?????)。她说,他们“不能让顾客吃饭时听到冲马桶的声音”,因为这会让他们停止进食。作为咖啡馆里唯一的顾客,我们张大了嘴巴,对她粗鲁的语气和荒谬的推理感到非常震惊。当她转身离开时,没有道歉,也没有丝毫的客户服务,我们很快就收拾好东西离开了。
我们非常失望,不会推荐任何人来这家咖啡馆。我以为住在法国让我为糟糕的客户服务做好了准备,但这是闻所未闻的。说真的,去其他他们真正关心客户的地方!
