Ryanair's
Micheal O'Leary arrives in a hotel in Dublin, he goes to the bar and asks for a
pint of draught Guinness. The barman nodded and said, "That will be one
Euro please, Mr. O'Leary."
Somewhat
taken aback, O'Leary replied, "That's very cheap," and handed over
his money.
"Well,
we try to stay ahead of the competition", said the barman. "And we
are serving free pints every Wednesday evening from 6 until 8. We have the
cheapest beer in Ireland"
"That
is remarkable value" Michael comments
"I
see you don't seem to have a glass, so you'll probably need one of ours.
That
will be 3 euro please.
O'Leary
scowled, but paid up. He took his drink and walked towards a seat.
"Ah,
you want to sit down?" said the barman. "That'll be an extra 2 euro.
- You could have pre-book the seat, and it would have only cost you a
Euro."
"I
think you may to be too big for the seat sir, can I ask you to sit in this
frame please"
Michael
attempts to sit down but the frame is too small and when he can't squeeze in he
complains "Nobody would fit in that little frame".
"I'm
afraid if you can't fit in the frame you'll have to pay an extra surcharge of
€4.00 for your seat sir"
O'Leary
swore to himself, but paid up. "I see that you have brought your laptop
with you" added the barman. "And since that wasn't pre-booked either,
that will be another 3 euro."
O'Leary
was so annoyed that he walked back to the bar, slammed his drink on the
counter, and yelled, "This is ridiculous, I want to speak to the
manager".
"Ah,
I see you want to use the counter," says the barman, "that will be 2
euro please." O'Leary's face was red with rage.
"Do
you know who I am?"
"Of
course I do Mr. O'Leary,"
"I've
had enough, What sort of Hotel is this? I come in for a quiet drink and you
treat me like this. I insist on speaking to a manager!"
"Here
is his E mail address, or if you wish, you can contact him between 9 and 9.10
every morning, Monday to Tuesday at this free phone number. Calls are free,
until they are answered, then there is a talking charge of only 10 cent per
second"
"I
will never use this bar again
"OK
sir, but remember, we are the only hotel in Ireland selling pints for one
Euro"
