点评:Rude and Arrogant Owner – Discriminatory and Dismissive
We visited to enquire about hiring bikes for the following day, but were met with one of the most unpleasant customer experiences we’ve ever had.
We’re a middle-aged couple — I’m of a larger frame, my husband is fitter — and we were dressed casually in jeans and trainers. Perhaps not what the owner expected from cyclists, but certainly no reason to treat us so poorly.
As we stepped inside (the door was already ajar), the owner barked down from the mezzanine, warning us not to touch his “newly painted door.” He then announced that he was on his lunch (at 2:30 in the afternoon!) and made no effort to come down to greet or assist us properly.
When I mentioned I hadn’t cycled for a few years, he looked me up and down and asked if I was confident on a bike, then added, in a very condescending tone, that his bikes were very expensive. His manner was rude, patronising and frankly humiliating.
As a woman on a health and weight-loss journey, I had researched e-bike weight limits and was genuinely excited to try one before buying my own. Instead, his attitude left me feeling judged and unwelcome — as though my size made me unworthy of hiring a bike.
We left immediately and chose not to return. It’s disappointing that someone working in tourism, in such a beautiful area, can make potential customers feel so small. We walked the Mawddach Trail instead — and for the record, it would have been perfectly manageable, even for an overweight middle-aged woman!
Avoid if you expect even basic courtesy or respect.
翻译:粗鲁傲慢的店主——歧视且冷漠
我们去店里询问第二天租自行车的事,却遭遇了有史以来最糟糕的客户服务体验之一。
我们是一对中年夫妇——我身材比较魁梧,我丈夫体格健壮——我们穿着牛仔裤和运动鞋,一身休闲装扮。也许店主对骑行者的着装要求与我们的预期不符,但这绝对不是他如此恶劣对待我们的理由。
我们刚走进店里(门已经半开着),店主就从夹层上冲下来大声呵斥,警告我们不要碰他“新刷的门”。然后他宣布自己正在午休(当时才下午2点半!),完全没有下来招呼或提供任何帮助的意思。
当我提到我已经好几年没骑车了,他上下打量了我一番,问我骑车有没有信心,然后用一种居高临下的语气补充说,他的自行车很贵。他的态度粗鲁无礼,居高临下,简直令人难堪。
作为一名正在努力减肥的女性,我事先研究过电动自行车的重量限制,并且非常期待在购买之前试骑一下。然而,他的态度却让我感觉受到了评判和排斥——仿佛我的体型让我不配租车。
我们立即离开了,并且决定不再返回。在如此美丽的地方从事旅游工作的人,竟然会让潜在客户感到如此渺小,这真是令人失望。我们改走莫达赫步道——顺便说一句,这条步道即使对于像我这样身材略胖的中年女性来说也完全可以走完!
如果您希望得到哪怕是最基本的礼貌和尊重,请避开这家店。
