点评:Given that since having children, I tend to avoid these places - as they just eat through my already limited money rapidly - my 3 year old spotted the rides outside and went running over, so I gave in and let her go on a few (as we were going home after a weeks holiday) whilst my partner walked around some of the other shops with my toddler. The rides were fine, all £1 (unlike Scarborough where many were only 50p) but this is the only one in the area so they have a captive audience. They seemed clean and didn’t have that “sticky” feel like some do. At this point I’ll mention that there were around 3 female staff stood around chatting for quite some time, they were holding cleaning products but didn’t seem to be doing anything, they also kept talking about customers - and not in a positive way, which I find pretty off putting and highly inappropriate. They certainly didn’t look friendly or approachable.
The ground floor was largely full of the coin pusher machines (mostly 2p but some 10p ones) the upstairs was closed off. There are machines for over 18’s only but just be aware, that these aren’t roped off or in a separate room and only have a tiny sticker on the machines saying over 18’s only. There was no one watching the area.
My little girl eventually got bored and left with Daddy and in came my hyper active toddler, he was walking around just looking at the machines and mostly putting his hands where the coins come out, since he’s at that “delightful” age where anything he finds goes in his mouth, I was trying to keep one step ahead of him. Some of the coin pusher machines had the odd 2p in the bottom, so if I discovered these, I took them out and put them back in the machines (as we discovered that coins are one of the favourite things to put in his mouth at the moment). When I did this, one of the staff members came over and very abruptly said “we don’t do that here, stop”. Slightly confused I said that I was just putting the coins back in the machines and was about to explain but she cut me off and said again that “people don’t do that in here, so stop or leave”. I was a bit confused that I was being told off for putting coins into a coin machine. She then went over to her equally delightful colleagues and told them to “keep an eye on me”. Which was completely unnecessary, as I wasn’t planning on staying somewhere where staff have a severe attitude problem. I left, leaving the coin I had taken out on top of the machine, as I was unsure where I was supposed to put it.
After a lovely week visiting areas in and around Scarborough, Whitby and between, this actually put a real dampener on it. We have had no bad experiences with staff elsewhere all week - quite the opposite in fact. So if you’re looking for good arcades and nice staff, go to the ones in Scarborough. Avoid this place.
翻译:考虑到自从有了孩子,我倾向于避开这些地方——因为它们很快就会花光我本已有限的钱——我 3 岁的孩子发现了外面的游乐设施并跑了过去,所以我让步了,让她继续玩了一些(因为我们在一个星期的假期后回家),而我的伙伴和我蹒跚学步的孩子在其他一些商店里走来走去。游乐设施很好,都是 1 英镑(不像斯卡伯勒,那里的许多游乐设施只有 50 便士),但这是该地区唯一的游乐设施,所以他们有很多观众。他们看起来很干净,没有像某些人那样的“粘性”感觉。在这一点上,我要提到的是,大约有 3 名女性工作人员站在那里聊天了很长一段时间,她们拿着清洁产品,但似乎什么也没做,她们还一直在谈论顾客——而且不是以积极的方式,我觉得这很不合适,而且非常不合适。他们当然看起来不友好或平易近人。
一楼大部分都是投币机(大部分是 2 便士,但也有一些是 10 便士),楼上被关闭了。有仅供 18 岁以上人士使用的机器,但请注意,这些机器没有用绳子隔开或放在单独的房间内,机器上只有一个小标签,上面写着仅供 18 岁以上人士使用。没有人注视该地区。
我的小女儿最终厌倦了,离开了爸爸,我的好动小孩来了,他四处走动,只是看着机器,大部分时间都把手放在硬币出来的地方,因为他正处于那个“令人愉快”的年龄,他发现任何东西进入他的嘴里,我试图保持领先他一步。一些投币机的底部有奇怪的 2p,所以如果我发现了这些,我会把它们取出并放回机器中(因为我们发现硬币是他最喜欢放在嘴里的东西之一)片刻)。当我这样做时,其中一名工作人员走过来非常突然地说“我们这里不这样做,停下来”。我有点困惑,说我只是把硬币放回机器里,正要解释,但她打断了我,再次说“这里的人不这样做,所以停下来或离开”。我有点困惑,因为我被告知将硬币放入投币机。然后她走到同样令人愉快的同事那里,告诉他们“留意我”。这是完全没有必要的,因为我不打算住在工作人员有严重态度问题的地方。我离开了,把我取出的硬币留在了机器顶部,因为我不确定应该把它放在哪里。
在参观了斯卡伯勒、惠特比及其之间的地区和周边地区度过了愉快的一周之后,这实际上给它带来了真正的挫折。我们整个星期都没有与其他地方的员工有过不好的经历 - 事实上恰恰相反。因此,如果您正在寻找好的拱廊和友善的员工,请去士嘉堡的那些。避开这个地方。
