点评:I am of an age where The Bentalls Centre was the most fantastic place to visit. Of course times change, sadly not for the better. Riding on the No:64 bus, I would take our two young sons to Bentalls, Silver Cafe on the High Street for breakfast, and a stroll around Bentalls where you were NEVER disappointed ! Such a wonderful experience warm friendly staff, welcoming and professional. Yesterday, I decided to look around the centre before going into Fenwicks. I was looking for a particular item of clothing I had seen in The Daily Express. Nobody on the shop floor to ask, I walked (limped) to the till, where a young lady was looking at her mobile. I hovered for a while, on stepping foreward she actually looked up at me. Very politely, and with a smile, (the way how I was brought up) and made my request. Mm! no she said, nothing like that ! I explained about the Express advert, and so helpful (NOT) pointed her finger in directions "here and there, maybe over there ? " I was not looking for £14.00 sale goods, but something more chic and and of a higher price range. Not that it matters to you, or your staff, albeit I will never shop in this store again, an absolute disgrace to treat customers so dismally.
翻译:我这把年纪,本托尔斯购物中心(The Bentalls Centre)曾是我最爱去的地方。当然,时代变迁,可惜的是,如今的本托尔斯购物中心却不如从前。以前,我会坐64路公交车,带着两个年幼的儿子去本托尔斯购物中心,然后在商业街的银咖啡馆(Silver Cafe)吃早餐,再逛逛本托尔斯购物中心,那里从来不会让人失望!真是太棒了!员工热情友好,既专业又周到。昨天,我决定在去芬威克百货(Fenwicks)之前先去本托尔斯购物中心逛逛。我想找一件在《每日快报》(The Daily Express)上看到的特别的衣服。店里没人可以问,我只好一瘸一拐地走到收银台,看到一位年轻女士正在看手机。我犹豫了一会儿,走上前去,她才抬起头看向我。她非常礼貌,面带微笑(就像我从小受到的教育那样),然后我提出了我的要求。嗯!她说,不行,不是你想的那样!我解释了Express的广告,结果那位“热心”的店员(一点也不热心)只是指指点点,“这边,那边,或许那边?” 我不是来买14英镑的特价商品,而是想找些更时尚、价格更高的款式。虽然这对你或者你的员工来说可能无关紧要,但我以后绝对不会再来这家店了,如此对待顾客简直是耻辱。
