点评:I visited the Old Biscuit Mill today because I’m recently retired and my car was being serviced close by. I rocked up at 8.05 am and received a hostile and intimidating stare from the security guard. He obviously has to discourage the locals with his glare but I’m a 65 year retired teacher and felt offended. I said nothing and went to sit on a yellow couch waiting for Redemption Burgers to open. I had a delicious and memorable breakfast and then visited each shop. All the shop assistants were kind, friendly and helpful but the prices were obviously geared for those with dollars, euros and pounds.
I returned to buy lunch but by this time Redemption Burgers were swamped so I decided not to eat there. I returned to the yellow couch to rest for a few minutes as my car was not yet ready. After a few minutes the shop assistant asked me to leave as they discouraged people from sitting around. He did this abruptly and rudely. I was deeply offended and angrily shouted at him that he was rude and could have asked me politely and respectfully to leave. He called the security guard and I decided to leave. I then told the security guard how I felt about his hostility and intimidation.
This centre clearly serves well heeled tourists but needs to remember that the locals and especially the elderly deserve to be treated with dignity and respect.
翻译:我今天去了 Old Biscuit Mill,因为我最近退休了,我的车就在附近维修。我早上 8 点 05 分到达,保安用敌意和恐吓的目光盯着我。他显然要用他的目光吓跑当地人,但我是一名 65 岁的退休教师,我觉得受到了冒犯。我什么也没说,坐在黄色沙发上等待 Redemption Burgers 开门。我吃了一顿美味而难忘的早餐,然后参观了每一家商店。所有的店员都很善良、友好和乐于助人,但价格显然是针对那些拥有美元、欧元和英镑的人。
我回来买午餐,但此时 Redemption Burgers 已经人满为患,所以我决定不在那里吃饭。我回到黄色沙发上休息几分钟,因为我的车还没有准备好。几分钟后,店员让我离开,因为他们不鼓励人们坐在那里。他突然粗鲁地这样做了。我非常生气,愤怒地对他大喊,说他很粗鲁,应该礼貌而有礼貌地要求我离开。他叫来了保安,我决定离开。然后我告诉保安我对他的敌意和恐吓的感受。
这个中心显然是为富有的游客服务的,但需要记住,当地人,尤其是老年人应该得到尊严和尊重的对待。
