点评:I really hate to write a less than glowing review about a small museum that is trying to share the history of a lovely place like St. Maarten/St. Martin but the rudeness of the staff here makes it hard. The museum is small and free, but they have a collection box as you exit that you can place donations in. My mom and I really appreciated the fact that the museum existed, and wanted to support them but neither of us had any bills (cash tips are BIG here and we had been on island for almost a week). What I did have was about $4 of quarters, along with a few other coins. I dug a handful out and placed it in the donation box. As I was digging around for the rest, the docent, who was in the middle of a conversation with someone else on the other side of the room, walked over and started yelling at us about how they didn't want our "useless" coins (apparently they couldn't take them to the bank?) and demanded dollars instead. I tried to explain to her that I appreciated the museum but literally did not have any cash side from the coins. She opened the donation box, gave a disgusted look at the coins and then told us to give dollars and sign the guestbook. No worries at all if you can't use coins, but there are much better ways to let people know if coins are an issue...
翻译:我真的很讨厌写一篇关于一个小博物馆的不那么热烈的评论,它试图分享像圣马丁岛/圣马丁岛这样一个可爱的地方的历史。马丁,但是这里工作人员的粗鲁让事情变得很困难。博物馆很小而且免费,但是当你退出时他们有一个收集箱,你可以把捐款放进去。我和我妈妈真的很感激博物馆的存在,并且想支持他们,但我们都没有任何账单(现金)这里的小费很大,我们已经在岛上呆了快一周了)。我得到的是大约 4 美元的 25 美分硬币,还有一些其他硬币。我挖了一把,放进了捐款箱。当我四处寻找剩下的东西时,正在与房间另一边的其他人交谈的讲解员走了过来,开始对我们大喊大叫,说他们不想要我们的“无用”硬币(显然他们不能带它们去银行?)并要求美元。我试图向她解释我很欣赏这个博物馆,但实际上并没有硬币中的任何现金。她打开捐款箱,厌恶地看了一眼硬币,然后让我们捐美元并在留言簿上签名。如果您不能使用硬币,完全不用担心,但是有更好的方法让人们知道硬币是否是一个问题......
