Customer claims she only noticed the amount after checking her bank statement and criticizes the business’s attitude
A customer from the United States decided to buy a $3.14 drink to enjoy with her friends at a bar, but she didn’t expect to be charged much more than the price indicated by the establishment.
In a TikTok video, the customer, identified only as Lucy (@reesewitherspoonstoe), explains that $3,014 was charged to her account after the purchase. However, she says she only noticed the mistake the following day. The post has already garnered 58.3k views and has been covered by outlets like Daily Dot.
“My face when I checked my bank statement, the bar where I got a drink and left charged me… I swear… $3,014,” the caption reads. At no point does she reveal the name or location of the establishment.
According to the customer, her account balance went negative after the charge because she didn’t have enough funds to pay. “And my bank just lets that happen??? Like, I don’t even have that much money in there, and my account is in the negative.”
She then talks about the establishment’s attempt to resolve the issue in another post. Despite contacting them, she says she didn’t receive a sincere apology for the incident. “He acted like I was crazy for calling my bank first and wanted my card information so he could refund me,” she said.
