点评:Yes, I know that they advise to book ahead, but I didn’t know when I would be ready and it’s a bike rental company; any bike that gets me around the city trails will do. Too much to ask, apparently. I arrived at 3 and the store was unattended. I called and texted the number they posted and got no response. I waited a half hour and nobody came to the supposedly open store. An hour later I came back, still hoping to rent a bike for an hour or two before it closed. A woman was there and I asked if I could rent a bike and she dismissed me, saying they had a private event that evening. This was not mentioned on the store signage or website.
This is no way to run a business. What kind of bike rental company requires advance booking? I could see they had plenty of bikes, just no staff. And if you have a “private event” or the staff is temporarily away, put up a sign or an auto-response message or voice mail explaining this. I’ve rented bikes in cities before and it shouldn’t be this hard. I’m a customer and I want to give you money for your services so much that I am calling and texting and you can’t even respond to the messages?
翻译:是的,我知道他们建议提前预订,但我不知道什么时候准备好,而且这是一家自行车租赁公司;任何能带我绕城小路的自行车都可以。显然,要求太高了。我下午3点到店,店里没人。我打电话发短信给他们公布的号码,但没人接。我等了半个小时,据说开着的店里也没人来。一个小时后,我又回来了,仍然希望在关门前租一两个小时的自行车。一位女士在那里,我问她能不能租一辆,她拒绝了我,说他们晚上有私人活动。商店的招牌和网站上都没有提到这一点。
这根本不是做生意的方式。什么样的自行车租赁公司需要提前预订?我看得出来他们有很多自行车,就是没有工作人员。如果你有“私人活动”或者工作人员暂时不在,就贴个牌子、发个自动回复信息或语音邮件解释一下。我以前在城里租过自行车,应该没这么难。我是一名客户,我非常想为您的服务付钱,以至于我打电话、发短信,而您甚至不能回复这些消息?
