(由 Google 翻译)致所有巴西和外国朋友:远离这个地方。
昨天,我目睹了在一家餐馆里见过的最荒唐的一幕。这明显是针对一个只是想好好享受一顿饭的家庭的仇外、粗鲁、恐吓和骚扰。
我们隔壁桌坐着另一个巴西家庭——他们之前已经和我们打过招呼,看起来非常友好。这群人中有成年人、老年人(记住这一点)和年轻人。他们正安静地用餐,这时,啤酒厂一名名叫杰西的员工走近他们,大声、粗鲁、咄咄逼人地说话,引起了所有人的注意。
他毫无尊重地侵犯了他们的个人空间,从桌上抓起几个啤酒杯,威胁要“没收”它们。
我们感到震惊——谁会做出这种事,尤其是在一个有老人的家庭面前?但情况变得更糟了……
杰西对他的小“表演”并不满意,他回到餐桌旁,态度更加咄咄逼人。他不断骚扰这家人,指责其中一人饮酒时未出示护照。这家人平静地解释说,大家都已成年,虽然其中一人目前没有护照(因为他们正在度假),但他们可以提供其他证件。
他们很有礼貌——我听到他们说“好的”和“请”。然而,杰西再次提高了嗓门,加剧了事态,再次把他们桌上的啤酒都拿走了,这次是彻底没收了。
这家人显然被吓坏了。他们说要吃完饭就走。这太离谱了——他们是付费顾客,所有费用都预付了,包括被拿走的啤酒。
几分钟后,杰西又回来了。他再次骚扰他们,现在威胁要报警——仿佛身为外国人就意味着他们欠当局什么似的。他告诉他们,他们在这里待得太久了,必须离开。是的,他简直就是把一家人,包括老人,都赶了出去,连饭都没吃完。
事态发展到后来,双方激烈争吵,几乎演变成一场全面冲突——就在我和家人身边,把周围的所有人都置于危险之中。
这名员工的行为——以及这家店允许这种行为的背后——简直是可耻的。看看其他评论,很明显这并非孤立事件。同一个员工被反复提及。管理层似乎对这种行为视而不见,甚至姑息纵容。
哦,还有管理层——别费心用佛罗里达州法规之类的借口来回复了。省省吧。这无关法律或商店政策——这关乎基本的尊重和常识。规则绝对应该遵守,但如何传达至关重要。而杰西在这方面完全失败了。如果不是因为他的行为,这种情况根本不会升级。
致所有外国人:把钱花在其他地方吧。该地区还有很多其他啤酒厂。
我的家人永远不会再踏足这个地方,我也会确保我认识的每个人都避开这里。
别忘了:佛罗里达州的巴西裔和国际人士群体庞大——而且我们拥有强大的话语权。

To all Brazilian and foreign friends: STAY AWAY FROM THIS PLACE.
Yesterday, I witnessed one of the most absurd scenes I’ve ever seen in an establishment. A clear case of xenophobia, rudeness, intimidation, and harassment against a FAMILY simply trying to enjoy a meal.
At the table next to ours was another Brazilian family — they had greeted us earlier and seemed very friendly. The group included adults, seniors (keep that in mind), and young adults. They were peacefully eating when an employee of the brewery, named Jessie, approached them speaking loudly, rudely, and aggressively, catching everyone’s attention.
Without any respect, he invaded their personal space, grabbed some beer glasses from the table, and threatened to “confiscate” them.
We were shocked — who behaves like this, especially in front of a family with elderly people? But it gets worse…
Not satisfied with his little “show,” Jessie returned to the table, even more aggressive. He was harassing the family, accusing one of them of drinking without showing a passport. The family calmly explained that everyone was of legal age and that while one of them didn’t have his passport at the moment (as they were on vacation), they could provide other documents.
They were polite — I heard them say “okay” and “please.” Still, Jessie raised his voice again, escalated the situation, and took the beers from their table once more, this time for good.
The family was clearly shaken. They said they would finish their meal and leave. Which is outrageous — they were paying customers, had prepaid for everything, including the beers that were taken.
Minutes later, Jessie returned again. Harassing them one more time, now threatening to call the police — as if just being a foreigner meant they owed something to the authorities. He told them they had been there too long and had to leave. Yes, he was literally kicking out an entire family, elderly included, before they could even finish their food.
At that point, the situation escalated into a loud argument and nearly turned into a full-blown confrontation — right next to me and my family, putting everyone around at risk.
The behavior of this employee — and the establishment for allowing it — is disgraceful. Looking at other reviews, it’s clear this isn’t an isolated incident. The same employee is mentioned repeatedly. Management seems to ignore or tolerate this behavior.
Oh, and management — don’t bother replying with some copy-pasted excuse about Florida regulations. Save it. This isn’t about laws or store policies — it’s about basic respect and common sense. Rules should absolutely be followed, but how they’re communicated matters. And in that, Jessie completely failed. This situation would’ve never escalated if it weren’t for his behavior.
To all foreigners: spend your money elsewhere. There are plenty of other breweries in the area.
My family will never set foot in this place again, and I’ll make sure everyone I know avoids it too.
Let’s not forget: the Brazilian and international community in Florida is large — and we have a strong voice.
