点评:The Center has a fine collection of portraits of historic Marylanders painted by members of the famous Peale family and other memorabilia. But my visit was marred by shabby treatment at the ticket counter. After I paid the $10 admission, the staff demanded my name. This was a strange request, there was no need for my name, so I refused. The cashier then embarrassed me, belittling my choice not to give my name and implying I was holding up the line of waiting visitors. A nearby staff member added, triumphantly, that they would just get my name from my credit card (though I paid in cash). I don’t like giving low ratings based on one bad experience, which may not be characteristic of a site. But I have reached out to the Center to talk about this interaction and they have ignored me. I think the Center has earned their two-star rating.
翻译:该中心收藏了著名的皮尔家族成员绘制的马里兰州历史人物肖像以及其他纪念品。但我的参观体验却因售票处粗暴的接待而大打折扣。我支付了10美元的门票费后,工作人员要求我报上名字。这个要求很奇怪,根本不需要报上名字,所以我拒绝了。收银员随后让我难堪,轻视我选择不报上名字,并暗示我耽误了排队等候的游客。旁边一位工作人员得意洋洋地补充说,他们只需从我的信用卡上获取我的名字即可(虽然我用的是现金支付)。我不喜欢仅仅因为一次糟糕的体验就给出低分,这可能不是一个景点的典型特征。但我已经联系中心,想谈谈这次互动,但他们却置之不理。我认为该中心应该得到两星评级。
