点评:Myself and my family were staying nearby to this cafe and decided to pop in for a mid-morning sweet treat and coffee after a busy morning of sightseeing. We'd had a lovely morning and this experience really sullied my mood...clearly contagious from one of the staff member's! Working a customer service job myself, I understand that customers cannot always be easy to deal with, however I was very patient, waited in a queue for over 5 minutes, and greeted the staff member at the counter (an older lady with glasses) warmly and with a smile. Unfortunately I was met with a sour face and no enthusiasm whatsoever. At first I gave her the benefit of the doubt and considered that she might be having a bad day, however when I began ordering she was completely disinterested, blunt and rude. I queried if the cafe offered student discount and (as some of the other local establishments we visited did) did acknowledge that it might be a stupid question but I like to check anyway and she stared at me with an expression of such distain and you could tell she was questioning my intelligence. Her response was a blunt "no" after having stared at me incredulously for quite a few seconds. In hindsight I should not have been so nice in response to this, but I laughed it off and said "It's always good to check" and she once again just stared at me with annoyance visible from every angle. This poor service was not limited to her; the other staff members behind the counter also looked bored and interacted with customers in a way that communicated their complete lack of interest. It was such a shame because the coffee I had was nice, but this experience and the judgement radiating from this woman made me so uncomfortable. I wouldn't touch this cafe with a barge pole unless the owners considered a rapid and complete turnover of staff.
翻译:我和家人住在这家咖啡馆附近,在忙碌的上午观光之后,决定进去吃点上午的甜点和咖啡。我们度过了一个愉快的早晨,这次经历真的让我心情很不好……显然是被一位工作人员传染了!我自己也从事客服工作,我知道顾客并不总是那么好相处,但我非常耐心,排队等了五分钟多,热情地和柜台的工作人员(一位戴眼镜的老太太)打招呼,脸上带着微笑。不幸的是,她一脸不耐烦,毫无热情。起初我姑且相信她,以为她可能是心情不好,然而当我开始点餐时,她却完全不感兴趣,态度生硬,粗鲁无礼。我询问这家咖啡馆是否有学生折扣,她(就像我们去过的其他一些当地咖啡馆一样)承认这可能是一个愚蠢的问题,但我还是喜欢问清楚。她用一种鄙视的眼神盯着我,你可以看出她在质疑我的智商。她难以置信地盯着我看了好几秒钟,然后直截了当地回答“不”。事后想想,我不应该这么客气地回答,但我一笑置之,说“确认一下总是好的”,结果她又一次用一种从各个角度都看得出来很恼火的眼神盯着我。这种糟糕的服务不仅仅是她一个人;柜台后面的其他员工也看起来很无聊,而且与顾客的互动方式也表明他们完全不感兴趣。这真是太可惜了,因为我喝的咖啡很好喝,但这次的经历以及这个女人散发出的评判让我非常不舒服。除非老板考虑快速彻底地更换员工,否则我绝对不会碰这家咖啡馆。
