点评:I visited Anderton Nursery this past weekend and was appalled at the treatment I received...I was so surprised! I am an ardent gardener and love to shop locally and, have therefore, bought my plants here for as long as I can remember. I even don’t mind paying a bit more for them as it is a local business,
Well I got to the store and was given a dry antiseptic wipe then proceeded to look for the basket stuffers. There was a sweet young lady who wandered around with me and was an immense help. We managed to find a few, as it is still early in the year, and I was on my way to pay for them. I could see a woman at the cashier not yet finished, so I walked slowly up the aisle towards the till, admiring the plants as I did so. A man walked up to me and told me they were closing now so I said ok, I’ll be right there to which he said “no, I mean like RIGHT now”...I was quite shocked so I proceeded the next six feet quickly only to be told by the cashier to back off because there was a lady there ? who was still looking around and wasn’t ready to pay yet. Well, I stood there for 5 minutes while the other lady wandered around and was deciding what to buy and even put back something as she had decided against it. Five minutes!
Well, all I can say was this was extremely belittling and embarrassing treatment of any business but especially of a local, Comox Valley family run business, which is how they rightly proudly advertise, but all I can say is, there are other local, family run businesses that will now have my business.

我到了店里,店员给了我一块干消毒湿巾,然后我就去找篮子里的植物。一位和蔼可亲的年轻女士陪我逛了逛,给了我很大的帮助。我们好不容易找到了一些,因为现在还是年初,我正要去付钱。我看到收银台的一位女士还没收完,于是我慢慢地沿着过道走向收银台,一边欣赏着这些植物。一个男人走到我面前,告诉我他们现在要关门了,所以我说“好的,我马上就到”,但他说“不,我是说马上就到”……我非常震惊,于是我快速向前走了六英尺,却被收银员叫后退,因为那里有一位女士?她仍在四处张望,还没准备好付款。好吧,我站在那里五分钟,而另一位女士则在周围徘徊,决定买什么,甚至把她决定不买的东西放回去。五分钟!
好吧,我只能说,这是对任何企业的极其贬低和令人尴尬的待遇,尤其是对当地的科莫克斯谷家族企业,他们就是这样自豪地宣传的,但我只能说,现在还有其他当地的家族企业会来做我的生意。
