Dubai banker’s $2 bar bill labelled “grotesque”
Dubai residents are up in arms that not one bottle of expensive Champagne featured on the bill
The bill, which was posted across various social media sites by an unnamed employee of Club Smug, includes just one small bottle of water, with the total coming to a shocking AED8 ($2).
Within hours, the internet was ablaze with outraged residents from across the UAE and beyond, and #twodollartramp was the second highest trending topic on Twitter (after #panarabiaenquirer).
“It’s the worst thing I’ve ever seen, ban this monster” tweeted DJ Habibi 2000, a popular Dubai DJ and personality, from his @DJHabibi2000 account.
While the name of the customer is unknown, sources from Club Smug claim he was a broker and worked in Dubai’s International Financial Centre.
“It’s just shameful that someone can come here and buy a bottle of cheap water during the current international financial situation while others are splashing out over $100,000 on bottle of Cristal,” said Club Smug owner Peregrine Farqua-Tosschops, adding that the mysterious water buyer was no longer welcome in the luxury, 7-star, VVVIP nightspot.
“Ideally, this man should be hounded out of the city.”
Similar sentiments were being shared last night across the bars of the Dubai International Financial Centre, where the anonymous banker was a topic on the lips of most finance workers.
“Whoever he is, he’s an absolute disgrace to his profession,” said Reginald Platinum-Ballbag, a 34-year-old stock market analyst as he ordered another magnum of Dom Perignon.
Some experts have suggested that the receipt, coupled with the recent opening of a Primark in the city, could have a dramatic effect on Dubai’s brand value.

Truly shocking and a disgrace to both us Dubai residents and bankers.
He must have been a visitor and walked into the wrong bar…..
Oh no, the bubbles have burst on bankers lunches !!
You are all retarded. Who cares what he spent! Stopping living fry to have fun! Losers.
This is truly shocking, I have never been more offended in my life! Is this person a Jordanian or ex pat?
this article and the people who are disgusted by it are the most superficial, retarded, and materialistic loser socialites I’ve ever come accross. Are you frigging kidding me? so a guy spends $2 and that makes people disgusted because he didn’t spend $100k?? what the f**k is wrong with you people?
For the people offended by the article and the comments. Do a little bit of research and you will realize that the Pan-Arabia Enquirer is not a real Newspaper and yes the article and all the comments are a joke, so chill and enjoy the good laugh.
