Doha, Qatar: A diner in Singapore was shocked to learn that he was charged $2,000 (approximately QR5,343) extra for a rib eye steak meal that cost only $20.90 (approximately QR 55.84).
The diner, who was identified as Lin Zhi Hao by Singapore news outlet AsiaOne, had found that Common Grill by Collin’s – a popular eatery in Singapore – had charged him way over their indicated price for his steak.
Lin was not alerted to this until after he had foot the bill, when he received a receipt that showed he was charged $2,000 on top of the meal’s $20.90.
"Upon noticing this discrepancy, I immediately brought it to the attention of your staff," Lin was quoted by AsiaOne, addressing Collin's.
The rightfully unhappy diner was then reportedly informed that he would need to wait “two weeks" for a refund.
