点评:We’ve been coming to the Flower Bowl for years and overall feel it’s a great venue, although expensive. This time we paid £48 for a group of four to play one game of bowling and after 40 minutes, with three of our party each having one more turn left, the game suddenly switched off and the names of the next group appeared on the screen. The venue estimates it takes 10 mins per person to play a game - so 40 mins for four of us, but if the entire slot is restricted to 40 mins that doesn’t even allow for changing shoes at the start and finish. We didn’t waste any time between turns so I don’t know what we could have done differently. This hasn’t happened before so I don’t know if it s a new thing to turn customers around quickly and make more money. It’s not the staff’s fault and when we complained they set us up on a different lane about 15 mins later and we were able to finish our game. Not sure I would do bowling there again if the clock is going to be ticking, which is a bit of a shame.
翻译:多年来我们一直光顾Flower Bowl,总体而言觉得这里是个很不错的场所,虽然价格偏贵。这次,我们四个人玩一场保龄球总共支付了48英镑。游戏进行到40分钟时,我们中有三个人还各剩最后一次投球的机会,但此时游戏突然中断了,屏幕上随即显示出下一组玩家的名字。据场馆方面称,每人玩完一场游戏大约需要10分钟——也就是说我们四个人理应需要40分钟才能玩完。不过,如果整个游玩时段被限制在40分钟内,那甚至连刚开始和结束时的换鞋时间都没有。我们在两次轮次之间也完全没有浪费时间,所以我不知道还有什么可以改进的。这种情况以前从未发生过,我也不清楚这是不是商家为了快速接待更多顾客、赚取更多利润而采取的新措施。这并非工作人员的错;我们投诉之后,大约15分钟他们就给我们安排了另一条通道,我们才得以完成游戏。如果计时器一直在计时的话,我不确定还会不会再去那里打保龄球了,这有点可惜。
