It's f**king ridiculous if you ask me, fair enough if you wanted coke or orange juice you would fork out the extra few euro but for a dash of miwadi there is no you should be charged. Money grabbing ****s   

Heading out in Templebar tonight and will still give the f**kers my money

Is changing the price of a drink throughout the day/night a regular thing? I've only ever had it in Dublin.

A couple of pubs in Limerick do it as well, only really after 12 but that's probably got something to do with having to pay staff extra after 12.

Carbon nightclub in galway on wednesday is buy one get one free. The barmen were playin rock paper scissors and if you lost you paid double but if you won your drinks were free. Great idea as if you lost you were still only paying the actual price for the drinks as you got one free.

Far from it, they'd buy 24 bottles of the stuff or more and they would not be paying €1, a lot less.

bradys pub in Terenure always charged 2.50 for mi wadi and water. We were regulars as they sponsored our football team and everyone paid the same whack. Ridiculous

Added costs such as rent and labour can drive up in store costs.

And when there are no shops left and no jobs in retail for the local workforce it'll be great too.

I remember some wan complaining on Frontline about the shop closing down in her village but then followed up when asked by admiting she did most if not all of her shopping in Tesco!

Amazon and the likes, while cheaper and convenient, will destroy the local economy.

I saw a documentary on Netflix recently which said currently 70% of jobs on the planet can be done more efficiently by computers.
Just because I'm paranoid doesn't mean they aren't out to get me...

Jesus wept, would you give a shop €40 more for an item if you could get it elsewhere for cheaper? I would rather buy my items in a shop and keep them going but the saving is too much to be throwing money away like that, maybe if more people shop online then shops might lower their prices, we are being ripped off.
