点评:My wife and I made an hour and a half drive from Rochester on a Thursday to have the pickle and wine pairing. The server at the tasting bar told us they only do the pickle pairing on Fridays and Saturday. I told her about our long trip for the sole purpose of their pickle pairing and that didn't change her mind. I could see how it might be an interruption if they were busy, but it was 12:30 and there were only 2 other customers in the entire place. She said if she prepared the pairing for us then everyone else would want one. There were only 2 other people there! Plus, they would be using the pickles the next day according to her. So, opening a jar of pickles the day before you plan on using them is a big deal?? We walked out. I had been there before for a tasting and their wines are nothing special, but the pickle pairing is unique and the only reason I wanted to take my wife down there. On that Thursday the Toast representative had a chance to either gain a customer for life or lose a customer for life. For the lack of a little effort she chose to take the loss. Her response to us, taking into account they were not busy at all, tells you how much they value their customers. I valued their product (the pickle pairing) enough to drive 1.5 hours so my wife could enjoy it. They didn't value us enough to take the extra 5 minutes it would take to assemble the pairing.
翻译:我和妻子周四从罗切斯特开车一个半小时来这里品尝泡菜配葡萄酒。品酒吧的服务员告诉我们,他们只在周五和周六提供泡菜配葡萄酒服务。我告诉她,我们长途跋涉就是为了品尝泡菜配葡萄酒,但她仍然坚持。我知道如果他们很忙,这或许会打扰到他们,但当时已经是12:30了,整个酒吧只有另外两位顾客。她说,如果她为我们准备了搭配葡萄酒,那么其他人也会想要。那里只有另外两位顾客!而且,据她说,这些泡菜第二天才会用。所以,在计划使用泡菜的前一天打开一罐泡菜,这有什么大不了的?我们走了出去。我以前去过那里品酒,他们的葡萄酒没什么特别的,但泡菜配葡萄酒很独特,这也是我想带妻子去那里的唯一原因。那个星期四,Toast 的服务员要么赢得一位终身顾客,要么失去一位终身顾客。由于没有付出一点努力,她选择了承担损失。考虑到他们当时一点也不忙,她对我们的回应足以说明他们有多么重视顾客。我非常重视他们的产品(酸黄瓜搭配),甚至愿意开车一个半小时让我的妻子享用。但他们却不重视我们,不愿意多花5分钟来准备这道搭配。
