A couple from Oklahoma in the USA recently paid a whopping amount of over $4,000 for coffee. The American “New York Post” quoted Jesse Odell as saying that he was surprised that $4,456 was deducted from his bank account after he paid for two Cups of coffee in the well-known network “Starbucks”.
According to Odell, he ordered an iced Americano coffee for his wife and a caramel frappuccino for him. He paid without noticing the excessive amount that appeared on the terminal, which was much higher than what he was supposed to pay. The shocked man noted that he was sure he was paying $4.45 when his credit card was charged. “I called the network’s service center something like 30 or 40 times that day,” he said.

Odell added: “We had to cancel a family vacation we were planning to go on, since we lost a lot of money following the mistake at the cafe.” A Starbucks spokesperson said that a check was sent to the customer as compensation for the mistake, but it was returned due to a typing error, and since then a new check has been sent which has been cashed.
In addition, the spokesperson accused Udel of being the one who entered the amount in the terminal during the payment process, which the customer denied claiming that the branch manager told him that the error was due to a malfunction in the electronic payment system.
