点评:Prices have never bothered me as my daughter likes going, its not mega expensive with ice card, but gets more and more with skate hire and aids and cafe but these are optional
£5 Birthday skate a good idea until regular customers that have kept the lights over the years on feel disrespected (speaking for myself not everyone)
This is not aimed at Sam as she explained the situation well, however the pressure from higher management must be a tell.
I respect the drive for growth and I am not asking for special privilege either just the common courtesy and respect that what you pay for is what you get.
Most friday nights i help out the staff and bring skating aids back at the end of the night as its chaos , Ive never been told or under the impression that they are only hourly rentals so to be told in a session that is normally 11am-4.30pm that id have to give it back after an hour, when my young daughter obviously cant skate without it, and to be also told im not allowed to carry her when ive had the skating aid taken away, then shouted at to get off the ice before the scheduled 1.15 session has ended (1.14 its only a minute but its the principle) it screams upper management pressure to me
Im not trying to be difficult its just as a regular i thought id have earned at least little bit of respect.
翻译:价格方面我倒不介意,因为我女儿喜欢去那里。使用 Ice Card 的话费用也不算太高,不过租借滑冰装备、辅助器材以及使用咖啡厅服务后费用就越来越高了——不过这些都是可选项。
5英镑的生日滑冰活动本来是个不错的主意,可惜那些多年来一直光顾、帮助维持场地运营的常客们却觉得受到了冷落(这里只代表我个人的感受,并非所有人如此)。
这篇内容并非针对Sam,因为她已经把情况解释得很清楚了;不过高层管理者施加的压力肯定也是个影响因素吧。我理解追求发展的必要性,我也不要求任何特殊待遇,只希望得到最基本的礼貌与尊重——毕竟付出多少就应该得到多少回报。
大多数周五晚上,由于现场一片混乱,我都会协助工作人员在闭馆时收回滑冰辅助工具。我从未听说过这些辅助工具仅能按小时租用;然而在这次活动期间(活动时间通常为上午11点至下午4点半),我却被告知必须在一小时后归还这些工具,可我的小女儿没有它们根本无法滑冰啊。还有,在我被没收了滑冰辅助器后,还被告知不许抱她;接着在预定1点15分结束的时段还没到时,就被吼着让我离开冰面。(1点14分,虽然只差一分钟,但这就是原则问题。)这对我来说就是高层管理施加压力的表现。
我并不是故意刁难,只是作为常客,我以为自己至少能赢得一点点尊重吧。
