点评:They refused to accept credit notes that I had previously clearly been told don't expire even when I explained that I had taken the trouble to phone up and check, and had been told they were valid indefinitely. By being told this it meant I lost out on the vouchers as if I'd been told I needed to use them sooner I naturally would have come in with them. Even when I explained this and that they had belonged to my Dad who had passed away and that I'd wanted to use them to buy plants for my Mum, they weren't interested. As this experience brought up memories of my Dad I felt quite upset but rather than comfort me the mangeress simply busied herself writing on the credit notes that they couldn't be used. I felt their attitude to be cold, hurtful and inflexible. She even said 'we are not in the business of giving away plants', even though by refusing to honour my credit notes they were making a profit at my expense.
翻译:他们拒绝接受我之前明确被告知不会过期的信用票据,即使我解释说我已经不厌其烦地打电话查询,并被告知这些票据无限期有效。这样一来,我就失去了这些代金券,就好像我早点被告知需要使用它们一样,我自然会带着它们来。即使我解释了这一点,并说这些代金券属于我已故的父亲,我想用它们为我母亲买植物,他们也不感兴趣。由于这次经历勾起了我对父亲的回忆,我感到非常难过,但女经理非但没有安慰我,反而忙着在信用票据上写上它们不能使用。我觉得他们的态度冷漠、伤人、僵化。她甚至说“我们不做赠送植物的生意”,尽管通过拒绝兑现我的信用票据,他们是在以牺牲我的利益来赚取利润。
