点评:We visited this bar as a group of four — two couples — while on holiday in Chania. Unfortunately, what should have been a relaxed few drinks turned into an extremely unpleasant and confrontational experience.
From the moment we arrived, the male member of staff serving us was noticeably rude and confrontational. We were a little merry, as you’d expect when having drinks on holiday, but we were polite and respectful throughout.
The situation escalated when my friend ordered Baby Guinnesses and attempted to put them onto a tray. The member of staff responded by calling the idea stupid in an extremely offensive manner. He then pulled the tray away with such force that it struck a light above the bar, before storming off.
We quite reasonably questioned why we were being spoken to in this manner. We weren’t abusive, threatening or looking for an argument. We simply pointed out that the behaviour was extremely rude.
Unfortunately, rather than calming the situation down, the female member of staff became involved and the situation became even more aggressive. She was shouting and using offensive language and got directly into my girlfriend’s face, which we found completely unacceptable.
Comments were also made about us being English and accusing us of being disrespectful. This was particularly disappointing given that we had been polite and had done nothing to provoke this behaviour.
There is a massive difference between staff politely explaining that something can’t be done and aggressively pulling a tray across a bar, causing it to hit a light, storming off, shouting at customers and getting in their faces. None of this was necessary.
We’ve travelled to plenty of places and understand that different countries and establishments have different ways of doing things. If we’d genuinely done something wrong, we would have had absolutely no problem being told. What we don’t expect is to be treated aggressively when we’ve behaved respectfully.
What made the experience even more disappointing is that this was an Irish bar. One of the things we’ve always enjoyed about Irish bars, wherever we’ve visited them, is that they’re normally welcoming, relaxed places with a great atmosphere and a good laugh.
This experience couldn’t have been further from that.
We’ve had a fantastic time in Chania and have met plenty of lovely, welcoming people during our holiday. This establishment was very much the exception.
We certainly won’t be returning and, based on our experience, I’d recommend visitors choose one of the many other places in Chania instead.
翻译:我们四个人——两对情侣——在哈尼亚度假时去了一家酒吧。不幸的是,原本应该轻松愉快的饮酒时光,却变成了一段极其不愉快且充满冲突的经历。
从我们进门那一刻起,为我们服务的男服务员就显得极其无礼且爱挑衅。当时我们都有点微醺,毕竟是在度假时喝酒嘛,但自始至终我们都保持着礼貌与尊重。情况变得愈发糟糕:我的朋友点了几瓶小瓶装健力士啤酒,试图把它们放在托盘上。那名工作人员以极其冒犯的语气称这个想法很愚蠢。随后他猛地扯走托盘,导致托盘撞到了吧台上方的灯,之后便气冲冲地离开了。
我们很合理地询问了为何要以这种方式对我们说话。我们并没有辱骂、威胁对方,也不想挑起争执。我们只是指出他的行为极其无礼罢了。遗憾的是,那位女工作人员非但没能平息事态,反而介入其中,导致情况变得更加激烈。她大声叫嚷、口出恶言,还直接凑到我女朋友面前,我们觉得这种行为完全不可接受。
她还指责我们是英国人,说我们不懂礼貌、不尊重人。这实在令人失望,因为我们一直都很有礼貌,也并未做出任何会引发这种行为的举动。员工礼貌地解释某些事情无法做到,与气急败坏地把托盘猛地甩到吧台上、撞到灯具,然后怒气冲冲地离开、对顾客大吼大叫甚至把脸凑到人家面前,这两者之间有着天壤之别。其实根本没必要这么做。
我们去过很多地方,明白不同国家和场所都有各自的做事方式。如果我们真的做错了什么,我们完全接受被指出来。我们没想到的是,即便我们举止得体、礼貌有加,仍然会受到冷遇甚至被恶劣对待。
更令我们失望的是,那是一家爱尔兰酒吧。无论走到哪里,我们一直都很喜欢爱尔兰酒吧——它们通常氛围友好、轻松自在,气氛极佳,还能让人开怀大笑。
而这次的经历却完全背道而驰。
我们在哈尼亚玩得非常开心,也结识了很多友善可爱的人。在我们度假期间,我们遇到了许多热情好客的人。这家店则完全是个例外。
我们绝对不会再光顾了。根据我们的经历,我建议游客们选择哈尼亚的其他众多场所中的一家。
