Madam, - On a recent day trip to Glendalough, Co Wicklow I came across the double price system for the first time.
I ordered some drinks in a bar and was pleased with the price; however, some time later when ordering the round again the charge was nearly 20 per cent more. I informed the barman of the higher charge from the waiter and his reply was: "Oh, you were charged the local price the first time".
Which is the right price? Are customer (especially tourists) at the mercy of the staff's discretion? - Yours, etc,
G KENNY, Cathal Brugha Street, Dublin 1.
