点评:The Priory itself is quite impressive and quiet and restful, and we enjoyed a couple of hours looking around. However, the woman in the office as we left was rude, unhelpful and generally unpleasant. I have messaged English Heritage twice (August 1st and August 11th) and as of today (August 17th) they have not even acknowledged my complaint. I was buying a couple of items and saw a sign saying "10% off with membership card", but when I showed it at the till, the woman said "It won't do you any good - it's the wrong colour!" I asked what she meant, and she said "Your card has got to be red!" She DID NOT explain that you only get a discount if you have been a member for more than a year, and this is my first year. My husband discovered this by reading the smallprint on another sign.
When we arrived I was told that as I have an essential companion (my mobility is limited and my balance is poor) I could use the toilet at the front, rather than try to get up the steps of the toilets of the ones out the back. On our way out I tried this door, and the woman said "The toilets are out the back!" I said "There's one here?" and she replied "That's for the disabled!" I replied " I AM disabled!" and she tutted and mumbled "I'll get the key" HOW DARE SHE SPEAK TO ME LIKE THAT!
We left immediately and I used a toilet in the town. Her attitude is appalling, and I was angry, embarrassed and humiliated.
Oh, and whatever you do, don't buy an ice cream. My Magnum cost me £3.45, and you can buy a box of 3 for £3.50, and although I know that places have to make a profit, 300% is outrageous.
翻译:这座修道院本身相当令人印象深刻,环境安静宜人,我们花了几个小时四处参观。然而,我们离开时接待我们的那位女工作人员态度粗鲁、漠不关心,给人感觉很不友好。我已经两次给英格兰遗产委员会发消息(8月1日和8月11日),但截至今天(8月17日),他们甚至都没有回应我的投诉。我当时想买几样东西,看到一块标牌上写着“凭会员卡可享10%折扣”,可当我拿着卡去结账时……那位女士说:“这没用的——颜色不对!”我问她什么意思,她回答道:“您的卡片必须是红色的才行!”但她并没有说明:只有成为会员满一年才能享受折扣,而今年才是我成为会员的第一年。我丈夫是通过阅读另一块告示上的小字才了解到这一点的。
我们到达后,工作人员告诉我:由于我需要有人陪同(我的行动不便且平衡能力较差),所以我可以使用前方的洗手间。我可不想去尝试走后面那些厕所的台阶。离开时我试着推了推这扇门,那女人说:“厕所在后面!”我说:“这里也有一个吗?”她回答:“那是给残疾人用的!”我回应道:“我就是残疾人啊!”她则哼了一声,嘟囔着:“我去拿钥匙。”她怎么敢那样对我说话!
我们立刻离开了,我就在镇上找了个厕所使用。她的态度糟透了,让我又气又尴尬,还觉得受了羞辱。
哦,不管怎样,千万要……别买冰淇淋了。我买的Magnum冰淇淋花了3.45英镑,而你可以花3.50英镑买到一盒三只装的。虽然我知道商家需要盈利,但300%的溢价实在离谱。
