NDTV
Ms Conner, who paid using a Bank of America credit card, accidentally put the last six digits of her phone number, instead of the tip amount.
A customer in the United States accidentally paid a tip of more than 7,000 $ (Rs 6 lakh) while paying for her sandwich at Subway. Vera Conner told NBC News that she ordered her weekly footlong, an Italian Sub with salami, pepperoni, and ham, at the local Subway on October 23. She ordered the sandwich costing $7.54 (Rs 628) but ended up offering a tip of $7,105.44 (Rs 5,91,951)
Ms Conner, who paid using a Bank of America credit card, accidentally put the last six digits of her phone number, thinking she was earning Subway loyalty points. She claimed that the screen must have changed and converted the amount into a tip.
She only noticed the charge when she checked her credit card statement at the end of the week: "I was like, oh, my God, how did this happen?" she said.
