Sadly, one of my only 1 star reviews ever! Owner very unfriendly and worried about 5 cent samples!
Chubby Mermaid Brewing Co.的点评
点评:Sadly, our experience was disappointing and I will avoid this brewery. I love local breweries and am a strong supporter of them. At the other local breweries in and around Bonita Springs we are known and welcomed by name and love the staff. We tip generously and love our staff. On our first visit to Chubby Mermaid we were not greeted or welcomed by staff, who I now know was one of the owners. My wife asked for a sample and was told very curtly she could only have two. This is an immediate turn off. Most breweries welcome new customers and are proud of their creations and welcome you to sample. In fact many ask your favorite style and make suggestions. This owner did none of this and was only concerned with the nickel it cost him for each sample. Keep in mind, we are in our fifties and usually not perceived as trying to get free beer through samples! I am very respectful and usually limit my samples to only one or two. As someone who has been connected to this industry and seen the financials of breweries I would recommend to these owners to do a better job of cultivating their local customer base. Are you really that concerned if a few people have more than two samples? Maybe you should be proud of your skills and then gain a more loyal follower. Look at the big picture. You have lost this customer and any recommendations that results in a broader customer base or market share. Soon you will lose the winter crowd and need a more loyal local base.
I am truly disappointed! I love breweries and the culture. This brewery has not figured it out yet.
翻译:遗憾的是,我们的体验令人失望,我会避开这家啤酒厂。我喜欢当地的啤酒厂,并且是它们的坚定支持者。在 Bonita Springs 及其周边的其他当地啤酒厂,人们都叫我们名字,欢迎我们,我们很喜欢那里的员工。我们给的小费很慷慨,并且很喜欢那里的员工。我们第一次去 Chubby Mermaid 时,并没有受到员工的欢迎,我现在知道他们是其中一位老板。我妻子想要一份样品,却被非常粗鲁地告知她只能要两杯。这立刻让人失去了兴趣。大多数啤酒厂都欢迎新顾客,并以自己的作品为傲,欢迎你前来品尝。事实上,许多啤酒厂会询问你最喜欢哪种风格,并提出建议。这位老板什么都没做,只关心每个样品要花多少钱。请记住,我们已经五十多岁了,通常不会被认为我们在试图通过样品来获得免费啤酒!我非常尊重客人,通常只提供一两杯样品。作为一个与这个行业有联系并了解啤酒厂财务状况的人,我建议这些业主更好地培养当地客户群。如果有几个人有超过两个样品,你真的那么担心吗?也许你应该为自己的技能感到自豪,然后获得更忠诚的追随者。看看大局。你已经失去了这个客户和任何导致更广泛客户群或市场份额的建议。很快你就会失去冬季人群,需要更忠诚的当地客户群。
我真的很失望!我喜欢啤酒厂和文化。这家啤酒厂还没有搞清楚。
