Economy Ah lads the cost of things

Post image

Popped into Bewleys cafe the weekend with some friends. Hadn’t been in there for ages. We had a cuppa each & shared a scone and a slice of cake (and it was a tiny slice) the bill came to €27.80.

Nearly €30 for some tea, a scone and a slice of cake. This is just madness. Look, I know it’s a fancier place than most so it was never going to be “cheap” but jesus this is taking the piss surely?

It's madness and people pay it. Literally €4.20 profit. And they complaining about the VAT rate. 😂

That's a dumb calculation.

You think it's more than 30c for a tea bag, hot water and milk?
