    Do you jar them?

    I always do. In a place that's 5.20 a pint, I only give them a fiver for it. Haggle the fcuk out of them.Most don't jar me for the twenty cents, but I tip them it anyway.

    Do you let people away with it or do you jar them?

    Before anyone starts saying company policy yadayadayada I know that, but you can still jar someone nicely

    wtf is jarring?

    is it a euphemism for being a cheapskate **** and causing hassle by not paying the asking price?

    So you give out to bar staff because you're too tight to pay full price for drinks?

    That's the most Nordie thing I've ever heard.

    in the sense of shaken by some unpleasant news or mistakenly bumped into or being drunk, yes. In your context, I have no idea.

    Jarred = the act of ateing the head of somebody.

    It's in the bucking dictionary.

    Probably

    That's not the way you do it.

    You say, I suppose you need two fivers down this way or some such. They are put on the spot and say no a fiver is grand, you give them six Euro, everybody is happy

    I used to work in a bar during college.

    The type of person you're describing is known in the business as a 'ballbag'.

    If the pint costs more than 6 euros you've paid for the glass as well.

    That's not haggling that's just being a pest. Just pay the 5.20 and shut the fcuk up.

    So from asking where you can hide out to handing 20c less per pint... you're doing fierce well this year.

    I worked in the bar business a lot younger than you. Jarring is part and parcel of any customer service job. The ballbags are the ones that can't figure that out.

    Has someone dared you to use a made up word and try and start a thread on boards.ie with it?

    How's it going for you? Is it living up to your confrabulations?

    A pest is a fcuker that won't pay the 5.20.

    I'm asking, would you just hand it over or would you try for the fiver first?

    5.20 for a pint!?

    La-de-fvckin-da

    Real men drink flagons down by the canal and give the swans a good jarring when the mood takes them.

    You can only haggle with someone that has the authority to negotiate price. Your average barman will not have this ability, therefore trying to negotiate with them is an arsealogical act.

    My dear poor backwards man, if you were younger than me working in a bar you were illegally working.

    The ballbags are the ones that don't have the basic intelligence to figure out that their brand of complaining is impotent at best.

    Negotiations as to the price of drink doesn't achieve anything where the pricelist is fixed and the takings are checked.

    It was handy that I also worked the doors.

    Sorry, I meant with the owner or manager. Tuesday nights in the Riviera are full of them.

    Why wouldn't you haggle though? You don't have to be hateful, and if the say no you give them the full price, No harm done.

    I know I call them bastards, but it's tongue on cheek. Why would you not question the price of anything you buy? It's your money like

    Jarring is hitting someone in the back of the head with a glass I always thought.

    Tip of the mickey ran around the head of a warm pint glass before pouring the pint might be an effective revenge act for a vindictive barman dealing with 'jarring'. Or acting the bollix as it's more commonly known.
