点评:I tried going here on a cloudy day and upon pulling into the parking lot the young lady told me it was a $5 charge to park. I expected that. I tried giving her four $1’s and four quarters. When she saw me looking for change she said, “Ugh can you just use the card machine?”
I assumed she thought I didn’t have enough money so I said, “No it’s okay I have quarters,” and then she rudely asked me again to use the card machine. Confused, but not going to argue, I pulled up to the card machine and it had a sign that said it was a flat charge of $15. I asked the girl why the machine was going to charge me $15 even though I literally had $5 to give to them. I got a lame excuse from some guy, who was obnoxiously taking a loud phone call when I arrived, that they couldn’t change the amount charged on the card machine. Which was totally fine, I understood that part and wasn’t going to argue.
The guy in his car behind me, also trying to go to the beach, exclaimed that he only had a $50 bill, and was reassured that they could break it. Yet they wouldn’t take my four $1’s and four quarters? I was genuinely shocked. I really did not want to pay more money to visit the beach on a cloudy day when I had lots of other beach options.. so I left. I also work in customer service and have never asked a customer to use a specific payment method when the fees are unequal..
I write this review in hopes that the attitude shown towards me is not a common occurrence between beachgoers + staff at this beach. I’ll be visiting other beaches in Maine and I encourage others to do the same.
翻译:我试着在阴天来这里,当我把车停进停车场时,那位年轻女士告诉我停车费是 5 美元。我预料到了。我试着给了她四张 1 美元和四张 25 美分的硬币。当她看到我在找零钱时,她说:“呃,你能用刷卡机吗?”
我以为她以为我钱不够,所以我说:“没关系,我有 25 美分的硬币”,然后她又粗鲁地要求我使用刷卡机。我很困惑,但不想争辩,我把车停在刷卡机前,上面有一个标志,上面写着 15 美元的固定费用。我问那个女孩,为什么机器要向我收取 15 美元,即使我实际上只有 5 美元可以给他们。当我到达时,一个男人正在大声打电话,他给我一个蹩脚的借口,说他们无法更改刷卡机上收取的金额。这完全没问题,我理解这一点,不想争辩。
我后面的车里坐着一个男人,也想去海滩,他大喊自己只有一张 50 美元的钞票,并向他们保证可以兑换。但他们却不接受我的四张 1 美元和四张 25 美分的钞票?我真的很震惊。我真的不想在阴天花更多的钱去海滩,因为我有很多其他的海滩选择……所以我离开了。我也从事客户服务工作,当费用不平等时,我从来没有要求客户使用特定的付款方式。
我写这篇评论是希望这个海滩的游客和工作人员不会对我表现出这种态度。我会去缅因州的其他海滩,并鼓励其他人也这样做。
