My buddy used to be an apprentice during the peak of the Celtic tiger, he worked with lads who spent €50 a day while at work everyday; between fags, breakfast, lunch, coffees. Easily done
I’d say they’re earning more than me.
A lot of us just skip breakfast now dam inflation
I needed a guy to drive a digger I have (I’m not yet skilled enough for using the beam.fully extended) and he wanted €600 a day, cash and arrived in a 212 land cruiser. More power to him if he can get that (I’m not paying it), but if it’s any indication of what people are making on sites, they can pay.
I work in construction, I would say 60 to 70% of lads eat a healthy breakfast and lunch.
This is the dumbest post. Assuming all builders go to restaurants to buy only breakfast items. Assuming builders are on low pay. Thinking a tenner for a full Irish is a bad price. OP must be 9.
Some very good conversation on this post.
I’ll just have the eggs thank you.
The average full time wage is about 45k .Self employed are making much more than that.
A tenner is neither here nor there.
Porridge with a bit of fruit. 8 quid. Ooof.
Sure they’re all earning €500k a year if you’d believe them
The price gouging continues
Irish cities (in fairness, mostly Dublin, but other cities too) are way more cosmopolitan than they were 20 years ago. Stop buying shitty low quality breakfast rolls and then complaining about the price. There are way better quick lunch options.
Bit of a classist post also.
It’s the fuckin eggs that are more if a robbery..2 poached eggs €8..fuck off
Tenners nothing for an electrician or plumber dunno about the rest
Ever heard of a packed lunch, yiz mammy’s boys yiz
The markup on porridge is absolutely insane
I have to spend more than 2 hours wages for a breakfast roll?
Can’t tell if this is a post shitting on restaurant prices or construction workers
The ‘Lock and Brew Omelette’ is 8.95 and features 4 items but an ordinary omelette where you choose 4 additional items is 9.95 ?
The place i work for are redoing the menu. Lots of builders around and families. All the close restaurants are after upping their full Irish prices to God. Ours is like €9 with everything and we are the cheapest in the area. I was surprised the boss didn’t want to up ours too but sure there’s asses in seats and our competition shot themselves in the foot.
Prices are becoming ridiculous
Fucking hell. I remember going to centra when I was in school and everyone got a hot chicken roll/breakfast roll with taytos and coke for like 3.50
The worst thing on this is the 8 quid podge
Hash brown 10p, sausage 20p, bacon 20p pudding 20p, Bagel 20p, egg 10p. That’s a lot of profit.
1 hours minimum wage work doesn’t even buy you a breakfast roll
€8 for Porridge is ridiculous
Petrol stations making a solid fortune out of all the poor souls commuting for work. Apprentices flat out on the cans of monster cus they’re not able for the days we put in. I spend 30 euro a day easy in the stations and shops. Pointless even working in Dublin when you’re using the extra money on shite during the day.
Surprised they didn’t add on €5 for the low fat breakfast roll
Things expensive.
Must inform people.
Lotta them on 100k
You’re paying for it to be brought to you and sit in the warm indoors under electricity powered lights. This is the cost of running a pace when your overheads go through the roof. Why are you surprised?
The 7.95 porridge caught my eye! Goodness!
We are getting abused in this country
Almost 8 euros for porridge and fruit?! What the hell?! Robbery.
Almost €11 for a *breakfast sandwich*? This country has gone to the fucking dogs at this point

That’s a restaurant, not a deli counter, yeah?
