Enough is enough!!!

I went to a cafe for brekkie, the menu said full irish €10 which is pretty steep but I was hungry so I ordered it, then the lady asks if I wanted tea? I said I presumed it was included. Eh no! F@*k that, when has a full Irish not included a good auld pot of rosie. With the tea included it took the price up to €13.50. Ask me balls!!! I walked out very very HANGRY!

So ready to eat the next person I saw I went to a petrol station that had a deli. I asked for a brekkie roll, while she was making it my tummy was rumbling so I said "Chuck another sausie in their love" she said it'll be .85 cent extra. F@*K OFF!!!!!! I'm still HANGRY!!!

What's the craic with Rip Off ireland? Please tell me your stories cos I'm going to take a stand. Somebody's gotta do something.

**** me thats an expensive brekkie. Where was it out of interest? Place I go to is 8.95 for full brekkie. Sausages, rashers, eggs, b&w pudding, tomato, beans, mushrooms, tea, toast and OJ.

both times you knew the price and what you were getting before you ordered

Fair play for walking out. Most I'd pay for a full brekky is 9 euro, for which you can get a meal that will do two days, or be ripped off horribly depending where you go. the sausage thing in the deli is normal enough though, items are priced individually.
Not nessecarily worth it, but priced that way. Wanna be a bloody nice sausage for 85c

So that means it's not a rip-off?

Let's just say it's around Ranelagh/ Rathmines area. Don't wanna be naming names ya know!

well done for walking away. To be honest, if the brekkie in the cafe was of decent quality food I'd happily pay €10 but I would expect the tea to be included in that price, holy fcuk, an extra €3.50 for some boiled water and a tea bag. madness.

Prices are displayed everywhere so its up to the buyer to check the price of any product they want to buy before ordering. Don't just go and ask for something at the counter and then shocked when they told you the amount after. THen you argue, you get angry and you waste other peoples time in the queue.

I think what they are trying to say is that if you are aware that you are being shagged then you are'nt reall being shagged. Also makes no sense to me.

It all depends on the package

Ambience, quality of food, service etc. though Tea / Coffee is mostly included.

Here's another way of looking at it

Cheeseburger with approx 4oz of meat + portion of chips

€4 Mc Donalds
€5 Burgerking
€6 Local chipper
€10 Gourmet burger kitchen
€12.95 in average Pub
€14.95 in average restaurant
€17.95 in good restaurant

All essentially the same "product" but differing qualities.

Or raw material cost
basic sausage av 15c
Gourmet sausage av. 70c


So unless the OP can give details of the entire scenario (quality of surrounding, quality of ingredients, quality of service) then its difficult to say whether or not he was ripped off.

And as other shave said, prices are displayed, youse make your choices.

Though I do remember a couple of years ago being asked an extra €2 for a thin slice of beef from the carvery in a portlaoise establishment after seeing the portion served was already very small. - The B1tch actually told the girl at the till to add in an extra 2 quid - at that stage I decided to go hungry instead.
The absolutley only way to finally stop th last few places taking the p1ss is to let them know exactly why you are not giving them the business - there are plenty of value options out there.
