OK this is prob best suited to BGRH but anyhow....
Polietly walked into Kebab House tonight, fcukin massive Q, "its gotta be worth it"

Got to make my order... waited for the soundest out of the blokes in there "2 x 4.50's" says I with a smile "ah my friend, 5.50 after 6pm" says h3e

I saqy "4.50 each or no dice" - "ok my friend"

So, 2 burgers, 2 curry cheese chips and 2 bottles of water for 9euro - epic win imho, and an ultimate success to me as I did it alone without gawking

The original was a 2.40 (irish money) when it was the 2 guys running the show - beat that!

Actually there's a noodle bar where Munchies used to be and you can get any starter and main with a bottle of water for 9.99.
Savage feed too.

Duno if they still own it, but it's different guys in there now. They're sound, but nowhere near as generous as the original guys

Went into Kebab House again last night, total came to something like 11euro (5.50 meal, extra curry chips, chicken balls, seperate drink etc. - there were 2 of us obviously) - haggled the feckers down to 9 euro Swear ta god tis' like a proper Turkish market in there with the dodgy haggling I do be doing... seriously lads, try it - they actually love it deep down The other customers loved my cheapskate antics :pac:

I'm going to guess a pink thong with my little ponys on them. Haggling in a chipper is pretty f'in low. I'd send you over to Vinnies.

Having sampled The Charcoal Grill Taco Cheese Fries over the weekend I have to say, Charcoal bates The Kebab House on that one and that says alot!

Dude, chill the beans ya weirdo. It was a bit of drunken craic that I ended up benefiting from. The only reason I even did it was because the meal that costs 5.50 at night only costs 3.50 during the day - So I chanced my arm trying to get it for the daytime price and succeeded

Christ I hate the complacent Irish attitude - It's no wonder we live in a ripoff society with attitudes like yours. In my line of work (hobby more than anything) when i'm agreeing contracts with clients I almost always get asked if I can 'do any better on the price' - Of course I knock a few quid off, because it almost guarantees a Signature along the dotted line, and usually increased business through positive word of mouth.... just like the way I always return to the Kebab House after a night on the sauce; because the lads in there are sound, up for a bit of a laugh when ordering food (ie. nearly always greet you with a smile, have a joke or two) etc.


All IMHO of course

+1 to that.

If the guys in Kebab House didn't want to barter, they'd pretty quickly tell you to pay up or "push" off.

The best thing about the recession is that it will force Irish people who've got used to a high standard of living to get over themselves and think about the real value of their money.

Never a truer word spoken on boards.ie

BTW, I haggled BEFORE I placed my order, so it's hardly 'low' tbh - It's not like I was handed the food and then refused to pay what the cashier wanted me to pay.

In various countries around the world it would be considered strange NOT to haggle. While a recession is hardly considered a great thing, one good thing about one is that it might hopefully make people realise that we're being fleeced in Ireland compared to the UK/US etc. (Granted that it's not thanks to Eire that the Euro is strong against the Sterling/Dollar atm, and that we pay higher VAT than the likes of the UK etc.)

-EDIT- For shame, I went to the Kebab House the last day for 'the cure' (Same meal ) - I was only charged 3.50 (Same guy!) for the thing - and I didn't even haggle (I don't mind the daytime price for it, well worth it eventhough it's takeaway greasy sh1te - great hangover cure) - Yes, 3.50 for a Cheeseburger, chips with curry cheese and a bottle of water!! And the best bit, as soon as I entered the place, the guy looked at me, smiled and said "Hello my drunken friend" - So they're obviously happy with the business I give them in my drunken states - Win Win imho

Have to agree with ya
