The O2 Dublin (O2's blue room bar)

    Went to see We will Rock you in the O2 on Sunday past.

    May be in the wrong place here, but I certainly felt I had been ripped off.

    Went to bar and asked for a Pint and a 7-up or sprite, whatever they had.

    Got a pint and a "glass" of sprite that came out of a 2ltr plastic bottle.
    Now this was a very small glass, probably 100-125ml measure.

    Firstly, is this legal to sell Sprite from the plastic bottle like this, but more importantly, is it fair to be charged €3 for the Sprite???

    Before the usuals pipe up with hard luck you paid for it etc etc etc, I was in company, and didnt want to embarress the friend who wanted the sprite in the first place!

    I estimate that that 2litre plastic bottle was worth 30 euro or so, which I could have bought in Tescos for 1.75

    Im in the wrong feckin business!!!!!

    O2 Dublin, ye should hang yer head in shame!

    Not gonna preach to you but:

    YES They can do it.
    AND People pay them for it -

    so why not.

    I only wish I could do it.

    AND:

    It probably wasnt even a full pint. It may have been one of the smaller glasses !!!

    Prob was!

    Pint of luke warm Carlsberg and a tiny small glass of sprite that was blatantly poured in front of my eyes from a plastic 2 litre bottle came to 9euro in total!

    I'll say it again......

    Im in the wrong feckin business!

    Most normal bars will fleece you, let alone one of this nature!!

    I am not surprised in the least of the prices you paid!!

    It's still a rip-off, but this was a pretty obvious one!:rolleyes:
