    Why does he think that? Is it because it is not worth it to them? Or because it’s dishonest? 

  2. Fuck me , is there anything they actually pay for like the rest of us , it just shows their contempt for us , yet we keep voting them in 

  3. Fucking ridiculous they cant even practice what they preach

  4. We are ruled by people who cannot handle a reverse vending machine…that’s frightening, truly frightening…

  5. Not to rain on anyone’s parade here but I’m pretty sure work canteens, Dail or otherwise, are exempt from charging customers the deposit.

  6. Do as ii say, not as I do. Us little plebs need to know our place.

  7. They can throw them out the window for the waiting peasants below

    Wait, isn’t that they want the rest of us to do?

  9. There was the option for retailers to “absorb” the deposit themselves. A lot of catering companies seem to have gone this way. I use a work canteen as well and they haven’t tacked on any deposit to their already overpriced offerings. So I think this headline is being conflated to be honest.

    You’ll see some rip off merchant places that previously sold, say, a bottle of coke for 3 euro, will still sell it for 3 euro.

  10. Shut up peasants and just pay your taxes. If you keep moaning about us, we’ll hike them taxes up.

    Simon Harris.
