A California couple was recently charged $4,334.33 for four Burger King hamburgers, the AP reported.
Apparently the slip-up came when the cashier rung up a charge of $4.33 on customer George Beane's debit card and then,
thinking the transaction had not gone through, entered the amount again again, resulting in the $4,334.33 charge. The
charge was unable to be reversed for several days because of the way the Beane's bank places holds on large
transactions. Their money was eventually refunded and they actually got the original four burgers—two Whoppers
Jr. and two Rodeo Cheeseburgers—for free.
