点评:Beware that the owner’s sense of humor is NOT for everyone. We planned a glass-making session during a recent stay at Stowe for our anniversary but had to leave the session after just 15 minutes with the owner. We have a good sense of humor and wanted to give him a chance, but the rude, condescending and strange comments were too much!
For example, as we were skimming over the waiver form before signing, he told us that signing didn’t matter. Negligence would be impossible to prove and besides, if we were to get hurt that he would simply cut up our bodies, burn us in the furnace, dump our remains in the back and get rid of our car. No one would ever know. And he said this with a strange arrogance, no laugh or chuckle to reassure us that he was just kidding. It was all really strange.
As we were getting started, he told us to stand in front of him. We stood in front but he sarcastically said “no, not there, here.” And then he started the lesson and asked us questions like “What do you think happens when we take the glass out of the furnace?” My wife said “it’ll be malleable” “it’ll be hot and soft “ and he rudely said “yeah sure, but NO! What else??” The rude and condescending comments just escalated from there. He finally said you’ll understand my sense of humor eventually, to which we had enough — we said we are adults, paying customers and do not deserve to be treated that way. We didn’t want to be treated like that for an hour (especially since we were paying almost $200 for the hour), so we left.
We were looking forward to the activity, but we have never experienced such blatant rudeness like this before. Maybe he was having a bad day, but his bad day ruined ours. Not acceptable.
翻译:请注意,业主的幽默感并不适合所有人。最近一次在斯托酒店庆祝周年纪念日期间,我们计划举办一次玻璃制作课程,但与业主仅仅相处了 15 分钟后就不得不离开。我们很有幽默感,想给他一个机会,但粗鲁、居高临下和奇怪的评论太多了!
例如,当我们在签署之前浏览弃权表格时,他告诉我们签署并不重要。疏忽是不可能被证明的,此外,如果我们受伤了,他会简单地切开我们的尸体,把我们烧进炉子里,把我们的遗体扔到后面,然后扔掉我们的车。没有人会知道。他说这句话时带着一种奇怪的傲慢,没有大笑或轻笑来让我们相信他只是在开玩笑。这一切真的很奇怪。
当我们开始时,他让我们站在他面前。我们站在前面,但他讽刺地说:“不,不是那里,是这里。”然后他开始上课,问我们这样的问题:“当我们把玻璃从熔炉中取出时,你认为会发生什么?”我的妻子说“它会具有延展性”“它会又热又软”,他粗鲁地说“是的,当然,但是不!”还有什么??”粗鲁和居高临下的评论从那里开始升级。他最后说你最终会理解我的幽默感,我们已经受够了——我们说我们是成年人,付费客户,不应该受到那样的对待。我们不想在一个小时内受到这样的对待(特别是因为我们一小时的费用接近 200 美元),所以我们离开了。
我们很期待这项活动,但我们以前从未经历过如此公然的粗鲁行为。也许他今天过得很糟糕,但他的糟糕一天毁了我们的一天。不能接受的。
