点评:Beautiful old pub we’ve frequented on many trips to the lakes. Unfortunately on this occasion my husband and I overheard the staff behind the bar making incredibly rude comments about some other customers in the bar who, like us, were from the North East. To quote “it’s a shame half of our customers are from Newcastle”, “I don’t speak French but I understand the French more than people from the North East”, and then made further derogatory remarks about northern accents being like unreadable messy handwriting!
Later in the evening I was chatting with another member of staff at the bar and as I walked away the same bar-man said “what?” to the other feller working behind the bar - implying he didn’t understand me because of my accent.
This attitude ruined the night for us, an absolute disgrace for our identity to be insulted when we were simply trying to enjoy our holiday. Perplexed as to why an entitled bigot would seek employment in a tourist area of the north west, if they had such distain for people from different walks of life! Completely unprofessional and unacceptable from someone in the service industry. Will not be visiting again.
翻译:这家漂亮的古老酒吧是我们去湖区旅行时经常光顾的地方。不幸的是,这次我和丈夫无意中听到吧台后面的工作人员对其他几位和我们一样来自英格兰东北部的顾客出言不逊。他们说:“真可惜,我们一半的顾客都来自纽卡斯尔”,“我不会说法语,但我听得懂法国人都比听得懂东北人强”,然后又贬低说北方口音就像难以辨认的潦草字迹!
当天晚上晚些时候,我和另一位吧台工作人员聊天,当我离开时,那位酒吧工作人员又对吧台后面的另一位工作人员说了句“什么?”——暗示他因为我的口音而听不懂我的话。
这种态度彻底毁了我们的夜晚,我们只是想好好享受假期,却遭到如此侮辱,真是令人愤慨。真不明白,一个自以为是、心胸狭隘的人,既然如此鄙视来自不同背景的人,为什么会选择在西北部的旅游区找工作!这种行为完全不专业,作为服务行业从业者,简直令人无法接受。以后不会再来了。
