I was in shock at paying 1.50 for a can of Coke on the Ballina-Dublin train a few weeks ago, decided to comfort myself with an impulse buy of a Kit-Kat, also 1.50.

On a side note, the girl behind the counter was friendly but slightly insane. Told my friend the coffee machine was out of order (she'd been messing around in the back when we got to the counter), then she said something unintelligible, disappeared in the back for about 3 seconds, and came out again with a cup of coffee, giggling madly. Seemed to find it hilarious that the machine had magically started working again.

Mind you, she seemed to find everything hilarious: my decision to buy a kit kat, and my counting out of the 1.50 in change both sent her into fits of giggles. Still, I suppose I'd be laughing at any eejit mad enough to pay IE catering prices.
