    I'm pretty sure he owns the place, he'd be late 30's early 40's, quite short, fat, not your typical shop assisstant lets say :D

    Sure if he ever gives up the shop - I'm sure he'd be well versed in the skills to become an electrican, estate agent, mechanic, dentist, politican ... etc...

    I'm assuming you were in Busaras.

    Most likely if the shop is in the station then he's renting it from Bus Eireann. Ring Busaras and complain about his over charging. Maybe they might look in to it.

    Maybe I'm mad...............

    Something like that happened to me last year in Malahide. I was jut back from my holidays and so was tanned and so not very Irish looking. Myself and my boyfriend had been out for lunch and a walk down the beach. I spotted an ice cream van and went over and asked for 2 cones. As he was handing them to me he said "that'll be € 7.00 please". I was so shocked I took off my sunglasses to make proper eye contact with him and asked what was he on about €7.00 for 2 ice creams. He then said, " oh sorry love I didn't realise you're Irish, its €2.00 so". I told him I didn't want them any more and walked away:mad:

    I asked if there is work going, guy behind the till looks at me, leans across and goes:

    yeah there's work, but wont do you any good, They only seem to hiring foriegners here now, I'm the only Englishman left!

    I couldnt help but Grin madly and reply 'Shouldnt be a problem for me' and walked off to get my CV.
    You might not be foreign enough for their needs though, sorry I meant wages.
