点评:As I was in the area and passing right by the place, I thought I would call in. There were plenty of volunteers about, but the only one of them who actually spoke to me was the lady who accosted me as I walked in and asked if I had visited before. When I said no, she handed me a piece of A5 size paper!
The person in the shop didn't say a word to me as I walked in and walked round looking at the items for sale. None of the volunteers on the platform even acknowledged me, let along spoke to me to welcome me or explain anything. As it was around lunchtime and the buffet car was open I thought I might have a bite to eat. but the buffet car was unstaffed and a volunteer who watched me walk in... ...and out again empty handed, didn't say a word to me, or even advise one of his colleagues that they had a potential customer.
This is a great pity, because some of the exhibits are unique and very interesting. All such places need visitors' money to develop and improve, but surely you need to make some effort if you expect visitors to put their hands in their pockets!
I am a volunteer and a director at a heritage railway elsewhere in the country, where our visitors comment on the warm welcome that they receive from all our volunteers, and the number of returning visitors we have is a glowing testament to that! We pride ourselves on being so welcoming, but by contrast, this "attraction" couldn't care less!
翻译:我正好路过那里,就想进去看看。那里有很多志愿者,但只有一位女士真正跟我说话。我走进去时,她主动上前问我以前来过吗?我说没有,她就递给我一张A5纸!
我走进店里,四处转悠,看看店里出售的商品,店员一句话也没跟我说。站台上的志愿者甚至都没理我,更别说跟我打招呼、欢迎我或解释什么了。当时大约是午餐时间,餐车也开着,我想吃点东西。但餐车里空无一人,一位志愿者看着我走进去……然后又空手而出,一句话也没跟我说,甚至都没告诉他的同事,他们有一位潜在客户。
这真是太可惜了,因为有些展品非常独特,非常有趣。所有这些地方都需要游客的钱来发展和完善,但如果你指望游客掏腰包,那肯定得付出一些努力!
我是一名志愿者,也是英国其他地区一条历史遗产铁路的负责人。我们的游客们都对我们所有志愿者的热情欢迎赞不绝口,而回头客的数量更是锦上添花!我们以热情好客为荣,但相比之下,这个“景点”却毫不在意!
