Avoid - a ruined 40th birthday celebration... or did they not want to cater for allergies?
The Nottinghamshire Golf & Country Club的点评
点评:We had our wedding at the Nottinghamshire 13 years ago at Easter and thought it would be nice to go back there for my 40th birthday this Easter. I phoned up in advance and asked if they would be able to cater for an afternoon tea for 5 adults and 2 children (one of the children has a peanut allergy). The response I received was very encouraging and I was told that someone would price it up and call me back. No one did. I called again, the week before and was again told that someone would call me back. No one did again! I then called up 2 days before my birthday and said that if they can't do an afternoon tea, that's fine and we would like to book a table at the restaurant for a normal lunch instead. I was again promised that someone would call me back. Guess what... no one did!
Absolutely appalling treatment of a potential customer who was going to spend quite a bit of money for a significant celebration. There are only two explanations I can think of...
1. They don't care about their customers.
2. They didn't want to cater for a peanut allergy child.
I don't know which it was, but we definitely will not be returning to mark any other significant (or non-significant) occasions there.
You could have ruined by 40th birthday by keeping me hanging on and not being straight with me, and that is unforgiveable.
翻译:13年前的复活节,我们在诺丁汉郡酒店举办了婚礼。今年复活节我40岁生日,想着再去那里庆祝一下。我提前打电话询问他们是否可以提供下午茶,我们一行5位成人和2位儿童(其中一位儿童对花生过敏)。对方的回复非常热情,说会有人报价后再联系我。结果杳无音信。一周前我又打了一次电话,对方依然说会有人联系我。结果还是没人联系!生日前两天,我再次打电话,说如果他们不能提供下午茶也没关系,我们可以在餐厅预订一个普通的午餐位。对方再次承诺会有人联系我。你猜怎么着……还是没人联系我!
对于一位打算花不少钱庆祝重要生日的潜在客户来说,这种对待方式简直令人发指。我只能想到两种解释……
1. 他们根本不在乎顾客。
2. 他们不愿意照顾对花生过敏的孩子。
我不知道具体是哪一种情况,但我们绝对不会再去那里庆祝任何其他重要(或不重要)的场合了。
你们让我一直抱有希望,却又对我隐瞒真相,差点毁了我的40岁生日,这是不可原谅的。
