点评:As a family we travel to Yamba yearly and always make it a tradition to visit this store. It was always so quaint with old style lollies at a reasonable price, but is now under new ownership. There was always something special about going into this store and seeing the excitement of children "wow" in awe, and to come out with a bunch of yummy treats.
We have just returned from our trip and I can say we will not be returning to this store. It has lost it's charm and is filled mainly with imported pre-packaged sweets at huge prices, some of which you can buy in supermarkets anyhow much cheaper. They stock fudge but I couldn't part with $4.30 for a small square. They also sell pre-packaged sweets the same as what you buy in the supermarkets but at inflated prices.
My children and I selected two small items each but I nearly fell over when we were told the price. Oh, and nothing is price marked either which probably explains why the price for one item was half the cost when I bought it the day before. The worker clearly didn't know the prices either.
She also kept calculating the total cost incorrectly. The till wasn't working so she was using a calculator. Fair enough. She just couldn't get the numbers right. It took four attempts with me querying each total. My son ended up adding it for her! It was ridiculous and dodgy.
Save yourself the pain and just bring some sweets with you, or make the short drive to Coles down the road.
翻译:我们全家每年都会去 Yamba 旅行,并且总是会去这家店。这家店总是那么古雅,有价格合理的老式棒棒糖,但现在换了新主人。走进这家店,看到孩子们兴奋地“哇”地叫,然后拿出一堆美味的零食,总是有一种特别的感觉。
我们刚刚从旅行中回来,我可以说我们不会再来这家店了。它已经失去了魅力,主要充斥着价格昂贵的进口预包装糖果,其中一些你可以在超市买到,但要便宜得多。他们有软糖,但我舍不得花 4.30 美元买一小块。他们还出售与超市购买的一样的预包装糖果,但价格虚高。
我和孩子们每人选了两件小东西,但当我们被告知价格时,我差点摔倒。哦,也没有标价,这可能解释了为什么一件商品的价格是我前一天买的一半。工作人员显然也不知道价格。
她还一直错误地计算总价。收银机坏了,所以她用计算器。这也情有可原。她就是数不对。我每次都查询总数,结果都试了四次。最后还是我儿子帮她算的!这太荒谬了,也太不靠谱了。
省点事,带点糖果在身边,或者开车去路边的 Coles 超市。
