Cash is king part 349


If you had a wallet full of notes, you would not hand it over, give the bar person free licence to take what they want and hand the wallet back. People hand over the right amount and at least take a rough look at the change to see if it is about right. It is asking for trouble to not apply the same mentality to using a card.

Eh? Surely people do apply the same mentality though? Not once have i got home checked my bank and thought 'fuck, that bartender / server just charged me £7,800 for a drink rather than £7.80. I check the amount whem paying, and more often than not get a receipt anyway.

You would think, but did you read the article?

Can’t believe they got a whole article out of someone’s mistake.

Ridiculous what some people write about these days.

And annoyingly didn't even tell us what happened.
Why was the receipt showing £55k but it ended up him paying £100k plus charges?
Did he get his money back?
Did the bank still apply the charges they had added.
Did his wife leave him?

If you read the article the 105k was in Aussie dollars as it was an Aussie bank card!!
 
In 99.99% of cases, payment would've been declined because either they don't have credit limits that high or they're not stupid enough to keep those sort of cash values in a current account.

Once again, it's people going to the press selling a story about them being stupid
