点评:I recently attended a performance by the Hartford Symphony Orchestra. During the performance, I was shocked by the number of guests noisily eating potato chips out of bags that crinkled loudly enough to be heard while the orchestra played. I was surrounded by people who not only crinkled their bags through the performance, but crunched with vigor and then got up numerous times during the performance to get more.
When I spoke to management about how disruptive this was, they shrugged their shoulders and said this was their policy: the concession stand is open throughout the performance and patrons can eat and drink whatever they want during the show. They claim they “are striving to create a welcoming and enjoyable environment for all guests, and try to promote the reverence and respect that live performances deserve.” Well, that’s certainly a contradiction to their concession policy. Big fail.

当我向管理层询问这有多么扰乱秩序时,他们耸耸肩说这是他们的政策:小卖部在整个演出期间都开放,顾客可以在演出期间吃喝任何他们想吃的东西。他们声称“正在努力为所有客人创造一个温馨愉快的环境,并努力促进现场表演应有的敬畏和尊重。”好吧,这当然与他们的特许经营政策相矛盾。大失败。
