The word Gombeen came into use during the Great Famine of the 1840s to describe parasites who preyed on the poor & vulnerable.
They’re still here!
Price gun mishaps?
Anyone?

If that’s not photoshopped Hickey’s Pharmacy should be boycotted out of existence, disgusting behaviour.
I hope it is a mistake – or perhaps a very capacious packet!
Hickey’s have always sponsored prizes and done all sorts of nice conscientious stuff in my community. I’d be surprised to have to enter them on my naughty list.
Profiteering in a crisis eh? While there are companies and retailers helping out others in the business and local community.
Surely a fake. An item of that price would hardly be left out on the bottom self of a retail store, would it? I don’t (and definitely wouldn’t) buy it!
yeah . You could palm a bottle easy enough.
jaysus. whatever about individuals profiteering off this, it’s particularly scorn-worthy to see shops and pharmacies doing so
I reckon it may have been an error setting up the pricing gun.
I have always found Hickey’s prices to be generally higher than elsewhere, but never had trouble with any of them. Lovely staff every time I needed anything, or any help.
Anyone see Virgin Media this morning with Fergus Finlay on it, speaking about the Coronavirus? Fergus is a board member of the HSE and was giving advice.
So, if you look at it, and with all of his advice about containment, didn’t he cough into his hand, and a few seconds later picked up a bottle of hand sanitizer to tell us all about it. Ah sure everyone is not infallible.

It’s true,sadly.
It looks like the sign is in the chocolate section. Is Cadbury’s Twirl the new hand sanitizer? Bit sticky, no?
