点评:Absolute disgrace.
We visited Husk Distillery late afternoon with a group of friends and young children (ages 2 to 4½). The outdoor garden/lawn area is presented as family- and kids-friendly. The kids were simply playing with a small amount of soil that had spilled next to a pot — roughly 200g of dirt in a garden. Nothing more.
Manager Nicky stormed over and launched straight at the children. She was extremely rude, aggressive and intimidating. She told the toddlers they had to clean everything up and that what they had done was “disrespectful” to the staff and to the worms in the pot, and that was time for them to go home. The children froze. Some started crying. A complete stranger berating and scaring 2- to 4-year-olds is completely unacceptable.
Any professional would have spoken to the parents first. Instead Nicky continued the lecture and forced both the children and the parents to clean the tiny bit of soil. The whole clean-up took about three minutes. Even while we were cleaning she remained aggressive and disrespectful toward the adults as well.
I have worked in hospitality for years. Leaving a dirty nappy on a table is disrespectful. A handful of garden soil next to a pot in an outdoor kids area is not. Treating little children this way is.
Nicky’s behaviour was shocking, unprofessional and completely out of proportion. Intimidating toddlers and making them cry over a bit of dirt is not “customer service.” It is a failure of basic human decency.
We will never return and we strongly advise any family with young children to stay away until this kind of management attitude is fixed.

下午晚些时候,我们和一群朋友以及2岁到4岁半的小孩们一起去了Husk Distillery。那里的户外花园/草坪区域被宣传为适合家庭和儿童游玩的地方。孩子们只是玩了下从花盆旁洒出来的少量泥土——整个花园里也就大概200克土而已,没别的了。
这时,经理Nicky气冲冲地跑过来,直接冲着孩子们发火。她极其粗鲁、咄咄逼人且充满威胁性。她告诉那些学步儿童,他们必须把一切清理干净,还说他们的行为是对工作人员以及花盆里蚯蚓的“不尊重”,并宣布现在该让他们回家了。孩子们都愣住了,有些甚至开始哭泣。一个完全陌生的人训斥并吓唬2到4岁的幼儿,这种行为绝对不可接受。
任何有职业操守的人都会先与家长沟通。然而尼基却继续训话,还强迫孩子和他们的父母把那一小撮泥土清理干净。整个清理过程只用了大约三分钟。即便在我们清理的时候,她依然对成年人表现出攻击性且无礼的态度。
我从事酒店行业多年。把脏尿布留在桌上是不尊重他人的表现。但在户外儿童活动区的花盆旁留些园土则不算什么。可这样对待小孩子就是不对了。
尼基的行为令人震惊,极不专业,而且完全超出了常理范围。吓唬学步期的小孩,仅仅因为一点脏污就把他们弄哭,这根本算不上是“客户服务”。这是基本人性与教养的缺失。
我们绝不会再光顾,也强烈建议所有带幼童的家庭在这种管理态度得到纠正之前切勿前来。
