The only head you smack around is your purple headed arse invader!
I’ve no idea what you are.
I don’t usually take notice of the price of a pint, but was out last Wednesday night, 2 pints of larger was €9, so €4.50 for a pint of larger, out Friday night, pint of larger and a pint of draft cider was €9, so €4.50 for draft cider, out Saturday night, 2 bottles of larger were €9, so €4.50 for a bottle of larger. I was in 8 different bars. The worst part of the whole drinking expierence was on the side of the bottles was “Multipack”, the bar were buying the beer in Tesco/Dunnes and selling it off, cunts
Fooking hate. Local shop used to do the same with crisps. They would open the mulitpacks and sell them singley. Also the multipacks were smaller but they still charged the same price.
Easy thing to do there is to say “no thanks” when you see the multipack sign. I always have a gander at the back of the pack to check the date before my coinage changes hands.
That is exactly what i did. Never bought crisps there.
They had a shite selection anyways. New people own the shop now, selection hasn’t improved much though.
Surely pubs have the right to buy their stock of booze from wherever they like - for what possible reason would you hand back a perfectly fine cool bottle of Miller if that was exactly what you asked for? Certainly not just because it was taken from a multipack. Am I missing something here?
Don’t think I’d give out about it in the Tom Cruiser to be honest Sledge, but if I got a packet of King/Tayto from a multipack from the corner shop I would throw it back at the clerk.
Publicans are saying that they’re having it tough, that they can’t compete with the Tescos & Dunnes cause they are selling below cost, so they go, buy the beer for ~70c a bottle and sell it on for €3.80 of a profit. It might be my imagination, but pub bottles used to be heavier as well.
Don’t get me started on half full Tayto bags. The great unmentionable in Celtic Tiger Ireland.
Yeah they were definitely heavier. Very hard to turn one into a useful stabbing tool these days because they’re so brittle.
Where are you getting a bottle for 4.50:eek:, never got a bottle for under five blips in a pub.
Understood, the booze thing I couldn’t understand but the crisps thing I’d definitely go along with
Ah to be fair Ben there are plenty of places out there charging a bit less than a fiver a bottle
No they dont, it is illegal for pubs to buy in supermarkets and sell in pub. Something to do with VAT I think. It is very easy spot the illegal Heinikine bottle, much fatter and not and not as tall as satandard
Suppose so, but I’d never drink a bottle in a local boozer, I leave the bottles for town, never had one for under the fiver threshold.
It might be illegal but I certainly wouldn’t go handing it back, that’s a cunt’s trick. I know for a fact they do it in the club where I drink but I suppose in the case of a club it’s more power to them and you don’t begrudge them it, different for a publican maybe. Still though, how many of the people who’d hand them back would then go on to report the publican? And if you don’t, what purpose are you serving by handing it back at all?
I see where you’re coming from but in a bar at least, it’s somewhat embarrassing for the publican and the more people see it the more they’ll do it themselves. That said, I don’t think I’d bother either.
I wouldnt hand it back either.
But they are fleecing the revenue whatever way you look at it.
