Have some pity for the cashier - I have recently got involved in a POS & backend solution for a 800 store supermarket - you wouldn't believe what's involved, and how little control the cashier has.
I'm not in surprised. Far easier (or cheaper?) just to let you have the apple for 6c, or free. Was there also a queue of irrate customers building up behind you?I asked her to call her manager but she refused
Thanks, but no thanks. I would much prefer to pay €6.90 in Dublin.

the porterhouse are running a 12 days of christmas price promotion where each day one of their draught beers and one of the bottled beers is €4, pints of wrasslers stout (my favourite) is normally €4.50 which is decent enough for dublin.When, on the rare occasion I'm in Dublin in TD, I only buy beer in the places that are relatively cheap - the porterhouse and the palace spring to mind as being moderate. Gogartys is the worst for beer prices that I know of.
It's like that in most european capitals - there tends to be a huge difference between prices from one place to another. The point is that whereas in Europe the difference in prices does not affect you that much as the average punter buys one or two drink, whereas her it can make a substantial difference to your total spend in an evening.
Ah but sure you're paying for the authentic "auld Dub-a-lin" atmosphere where impromptu sessions, excitingly, can begin at any time and 'characters' are always on hand to entertain you with hilarious banter.
- well worth it.
Temple Bar pubs have been doing this for years. All you can do is complain.
Or you could stop paying those crazy prices..
Thats our problem over here we complain but we still cough up.
You'll pay £6 in some pubs in London for a bottle of beer. And Paris? - MINIMUM €7 for pint beer and in most cases close to €10.
As for my local - €3.70
