Malcolm Robinson Posted November 19, 2012 Report Posted November 19, 2012 Arriving in a hotel in Dublin, he went to the bar and asked for a pint of draught Guinness. The barman nodded and said, "That will be one Euro please, Mr. O'Leary.â€Somewhat taken aback, O'Leary replied, "That's very cheap,†and handed over his money."Well, we try to stay ahead of the competitionâ€, said the barman. "And we are serving free pints every Wednesday evening from 6 until 8. We have the cheapest beer in Irelandâ€"That is remarkable value†Michael comments"I see you don't seem to have a glassâ€, said the barman, "so you'll probably need one of ours. That will be 3 euro please.â€O'Leary scowled, but paid up. He took his drink and walked towards a seat. "Ah, you want to sit down?†said the barman. "That'll be an extra 2 euro. You could have pre-booked the seat, and it would have only cost you a Euro.â€"I think you may to be too big for the seat sir, can I ask you to sit in this frame pleaseâ€Michael attempts to sit down but the frame is too small and when he can't squeeze in he complains "Nobody would fit in that little frameâ€."I'm afraid if you can't fit in the frame you'll have to pay an extra surcharge of 4.00 euro for your seat sirâ€O'Leary swore to himself, but paid up. "I see that you have brought your laptop with you†added the barman. "And since that wasn't pre-booked either, that will be another 3 euro.â€O'Leary was so annoyed that he walked back to the bar, slammed his drink on the counter, and yelled, "This is ridiculous, I want to speak to the managerâ€."Ah, I see you want to use the counter,†says the barman, "that will be 2 euro please.†O'Leary's face was red with rage."Do you know who I am?â€"Of course I do Mr. O'Leary,â€"I've had enough, What sort of Hotel is this? I come in for a quiet drink and you treat me like this. I insist on speaking to a manager!â€"Here is his E mail address, or if you wish, you can contact him between 9 and 9.10 every morning, Monday to Tuesday at this free phone number. Calls are free, until they are answered, then there is a talking charge of only 10 cent per secondâ€"I will never use this bar againâ€"OK sir, but remember, we are the only hotel in Ireland selling pints for one Euroâ€.
