A couple in Oklahoma says they were charged more than $4,000 for two cups of coffee at their neighborhood Starbucks.
Jesse and Deedee O’Dell said their tab for two coffees is normally around $10 but this time they were charged $4,456.27 on Jan. 7.
According to Deedee O’Dell, she noticed the charge a couple of days later while she was at the mall with her four children. She happened to use the same card to purchase something in a store and to her surprise, it was declined.
The couple said they discovered that Starbucks had charged a $4,444.44 gratuity on top of their coffee order.
Jesse O’Dell said he contacted the Starbucks district manager regarding the incident and was told that there was an issue with the network.
The couple said that Starbucks sent them two checks equaling the total gratuity amount, but when they tried to deposit the checks into their account they bounced.
[They still haven’t gotten their money and are headed to their sheriff’s office. Oh, boy. Since they had to cancel a family vacation, I’d be headed to a lawyer’s office as well. But I’m impatient that way. And, well…STARBUCKS. ~ Beege]
