Went up for a couple of drinks at the bar - pint of beer and gin and tonic - bar man said sure, and price was 14.70 Euro (crazy price, but not my main point). He then asked me if i wanted cashback on my laser and I asked for 20. I entered my pin, he gave me my receipt and then walked off to put the receipt in till. I watched him closely and did not say anything regarding the cashback. On leaving the till he kept his head down and walked down the other side of the bar...whilst I waited intently on my 20 euro cashback...still nothing. Finally I nabbed him and said "What about my cashback" he grumped and said "Aw yeah", and gave me the money and walked off.... Sorry, but this really wound me up. I'm pretty sure that the bar man had a fair idea what he was doing - wait for the drunk to ask for cash back then say nothing and pocket the 20? I'm sick of Dublin and it's rip off prices and rip off ways...Will not be back in that establishment again.

Haven Ripe Saleswoman wrote: » AFAIK, when you pay with a laser card, two receipts are printed. One for the customer and another for the seller. The latter is usually then placed into the till for safe-keeping.
Sir Gallagher wrote: » Fair enough i just got the impression, he put her receipt in the till. The thing is when you get cashback the barman is kind of spending more time on you therefore should be more concsious of you as opposed to somebody just paying with cash. The other thing is, when she asked the barman about it, he all of a sudden remembered and gave it to her straight away, convenient.
