The price of bad cholesterol just went through the roof.

Burger King charged a couple $4334.33 for four burgers :!

Makes McDonald's super-size look positively small by comparison, these should have been burgers the size of Texas (or well Rhode Island at least).

Man Is Charged $4,300 for Four Burgers <!-- END HEADLINE -->
<!-- BEGIN STORY BODY -->Tue Mar 28, 7:15 AM ET


Four burgers at his neighborhood Burger King cost George Beane a whopping $4,334.33.
Beane ordered two Whopper Jr.s and two Rodeo cheeseburgers when he pulled up to the drive-through window last Tuesday. The cashier, however, forgot that she'd entered the $4.33 charge on his debit card and punched in the numbers again without erasing the original ones — thus creating a four-figure bill.
The electronic charge went through to George and Pat Beane's Bank of America checking account and left the couple penniless. Their mortgage payment was due and they worried checks they had written would bounce, Pat Beane said.
"We were thinking, 'No, not now!'" she said of the overcharge.
Terri Woody, the restaurant manager, said Burger King officials tried to get the charge refunded. But the bank said the funds were on a three-day hold and could not be released, Pat Beane said.
The hold is designed to prevent customers from spending money that no longer is available in their accounts and to let the bank confirm a transaction is legitimate before transferring funds, said Bank of America supervisor Joel Solorio.
Burger King did not charge the Beanes for their meal, and the couple got their $4,334.33 back on Friday.
"For those three days, those were the most expensive value burgers in history," Pat Beane said.

I got charged $900 for a pitcher of beer once. Even though I was three sheets to the wind, I noticed before signing the card receipt. Suffice it to say, the error was reflected in the tip. :biggrin:

My problem is, I only notice when I'm drunk...

Anyway.. I noticed the chinese carryout.. and even though they reversed it, it hit my account... (no idea why it went through, to be honest)

Customer service chick that I called said, "Did you buy the whole store, or something?)

Anyway.. they put a flag on my account to let my other transactions go through.

Here is how stupid I am. I have been charged $7.00 for a shitty draft beer at several stadiums/arenas around the country. Not just once, but over and over and over and over and over. I keep thinking, $7.00 that must be a mistake, this is luke warm Bud Light, but they insist it is not in fact a mistake. The worst part is, not only do I keep buying them, but I keep drinking them too.

But they do have ATMs in convenience stores (you know, the ones that charge a $4,344.33 service fee), so I think he qualifies as an expert.

I got dicked over on this kind of thing on vacation last year. Got overcharged for my hotel, and got caught up by an out-of service gas pump as I was heading back. Had to have my roommate wire me some gas money to get home because the fucking bank had a hold on $200 of my money because of a jackass clerk and a defective gas pump.

Allow me to correct that statement, "The hold is designed to screw customers from using their funds until the bank can make a suitable amount of interest on their money without their permission or knowledge. Rest assured that if you use your money it will be removed from your account almost immediately and then reinvested by us for 72 hours until we credit the account to which you spent the money."

Last Friday, a friend of my wives closed on a house sale which netted her approx. 175,000 dollars, which was transfered to her by way of a cashier's check. She immediately signed it over for deposit and took it to the local friendly Bank of America branch at approx. 1 o'clock on Friday. The funds did not show up in her account until late yesterday afternoon and were not available until this morning! Bear in mind, this was a cashier's check that could have been instantly verifiable. I'm sure Bank of America didn't profit in anyway during the 96+ hours that they borrowed this money. F###@rs!!!!!
