The Harp Bar Paris

If they were increasing their prices, I think you'd have a reason to be annoyed. If they're just keeping their prices the same as they always are, I don't see any problem with that. 

I'm just glad at least one place is doing good deals. The only issue now is supply. If everywhere else stays double the price that pub will be drunk dry.

It will be like in the trenches in WW1. The bar tenders are the machine gunners and we're the troops charging them. Can they reload the barrels fast enough before we over run them and tear the place down?

Its Paris lads for f**ks sake, don't expect too many people to be friendly or mannerly.

There are ways of putting things. Your man may as well have written "go f**k yourself" as it amounts to the same thing. Hang on, random pub owner gets a call from random person asking him to lower his prices and random pub owner says "Why should I?". Call your local boozer and ask them to lower their prices for you and see what they say.

This is obviously a specific set of circumstances. It's done quite frequently on trips and there are normally 1 or 2 pubs happy to oblige as they know they will get the business as word spreads. If this was a qualifier with say 5,000 heading over he'd probably be open to lowering his prices in order to get the business. As there will be a lot more fans than that though he doesn't need to. Anyway, as I said, I don't have an issue with his logic. He's perfectly entitled to say no. It's the sh*tty attitude that I take umbrage with.

Exactly, some people are living on another planet

Exactly Paulie,he could have just responded with a polite "no", ,i get a lot of requests in my pub about student offers,or musicians looking for gigs, its just as easy to be polite ,anyway fair play to the kid in the Harp bar,it might not be to everyones taste but it should save us a few quid over the course of a few days
