I like this guy.
The customer ISN’T always right. The general public are idiots. He just calls it as it is.
I actually had a customer claim the 10 she gave me was a fifty a few weeks ago. When I showed her that I didn’t even have any fifties in my till yet as she was only the second customer of the day she snarled at me and references that, “customer is always right” thing.
Anyone who works in a customer service/public facing job will completely understand this guy.
yeah how come this was actually funnier than most Irish “comedy”
Guy comes across as a total douchebag. I wouldn’t go near the place.
The customer isn’t always right but he deals with it in a really unprofessional manner.
Anyone who uses the term “douchebag” IS a douchebag.
By that rationale, you are one too.
Douché
To some people I am but they’re usually douchebags.
some/most

And hey, not everyone has to conform to the Smurfit MBA school of slavery to the market.
This guy is running what’s called a ‘lifestyle business’ and is clearly happy to tick over, making an OK living serving people who might have a sense of humour instead of dull cheapskates thinking they deserve five star service on a three star budget.
It’s his act- professional troll. It’s embarrassing how transparent he is.
I like this dude.
He knows how to troll that’s for sure.
As for the group of vegans who turned up outside his cafe to protest, jesus wept.
+1
Does cheapskate include a guy who thinks all free publicity is good publicity? In his case it isn’t, mostly because he’s pretty thick.
I like these articles every so often.
Reminds me to never stay there.
I wonder if this guy was a douche all his life or if this started in his twenties… anyway, next?
Ah, I enjoyed that.
That guy really creeps me out. He probably does have CCTV cameras in the rooms and bathrooms. I would imagine the service is as unprofessional as this twit likes to carry on in.
