点评:So rude and shortsighted. We started cold and rainy day adventure at a local coffee shop. They recommended we visit Symposium as it is a local treasure. Ao supportive of this local business to support their community. So we walked through the quaint town to arrive at a beautiful patio excited for our experience. The operator greeted us and out of respect for a cultural center I asked to ensure we could have our beverages inside. She said “I have a coffee shop and restaurant andI cannot have you bringing in another business’s product”. So our option was to leave our newly purchased hot toasty coffee sitting in the rain wasted. Or we stay outside in the rain to finish our beverages. We chose to not waste our purchase and finish our beverage. To add insult to rudeness. We were never greeted again, welcomed into the space or thanked for asking politely about the beverages. We were ignored and avoided. We had planned to spend the morning. Have brunch. But wine. Perhaps even purchase souvenirs. Enjoy the rainy option. Instead this business chose to compete with a six euro coffee purchase and risk the loss of 60-100 or more euro win. The morals of this story. Don’t sweat the small stuff. Be like the other local business and support your community. Remember, what you give to people returns to you. I never write negative reviews. But I haven’t had one rude experience to date on my visit to Megalochori so I felt responsible to warn fellow travelers be weary of this business that is only welcoming to serve themselves.
翻译:真是粗鲁又短视。我们原本计划在寒冷的雨天去Symposium文化中心,于是去了一家当地的咖啡馆。店员推荐我们去那里,说是当地的宝藏。他们也表示支持当地企业,为社区做贡献。我们穿过古色古香的小镇,来到一个漂亮的露台,满心期待地准备体验一番。店员热情地接待了我们,出于对文化中心的尊重,我询问是否可以在室内享用饮品。她却说:“我这里既是咖啡馆又是餐厅,我不能让你们带其他店的东西进来。” 所以我们面临的选择要么是:把刚买的热咖啡留在雨里浪费掉,要么就得在外面淋雨喝完。我们最终选择了不浪费,把咖啡喝完。更令人气愤的是,之后我们再也没有收到任何问候,没有被欢迎进入,也没有人感谢我们礼貌地询问饮品。我们被完全无视,被刻意回避。我们原本计划在那里度过一个美好的上午,享用早午餐,品尝美酒,甚至可能还会买些纪念品,好好享受这雨天的美好时光。这家店却选择与一家售价六欧元的咖啡店竞争,冒着损失六十到一百欧元甚至更多利润的风险。这个故事告诉我们:别在小事上斤斤计较。像其他本地商家一样,支持你的社区。记住,你给予别人的,终会回到你身上。我从不写差评。但到目前为止,我在梅加洛霍里(Megalochori)的旅程中还没有遇到任何不愉快的事情,所以我感到有责任提醒其他旅行者,要警惕这家只顾自己利益的店。
