Does kind-of make you wonder how often business owner Ahmed Abdullah might be accidentally pressing 6 two extra times for his late-night drunk customers if it takes this long for him to identify that this specific £666.50 charge belonged to the complainant in question, doesn’t it?
Seems like the fast food van was attempting a con. The bloke should press charges.
>When Wilson contacted business owner Ahmed Abdullah about hisexpensive transaction, he was told to seek a refund through his bank.
This, turns into..
>“I called the card reader company. The payment has been made to myaccount. They say the customer needs to send me his details, or he cancome with his bank card to the business.”
..days before the article goes up? According to the article “has now agreed”.
Just me or does this sound like the guy did it on purpose, hoping that the drunk man wouldnt remember or wouldnt be able to convince the bank to fight it? Seems very much akin to the tuk-tuk taxi scams from a little while back? Claiming he doesnt know if the money went into his account… lol. Pressing the extra 6 or a 5 or a 0 once, okay, it can happen, but twice is… odd.
Wilson is taking it far better then I, or most would it seems.
Of course it’s Efe’s
That word brings back memories of York night outs I long thought I’d suppressed
One hell of a price.

I’ll see myself out.
I heard after his veggie burger he had beef with them.
Disgraceful, disgusting…a veggie burger?
Seriously though this kinda BS is why i still prefer to use cash over cards can’t overcharge me 600 quid when i pay with a tenner.
Guy came into my workplace and ordered a pint, took the card machine and changed the price too £105.50. Paid then “noticed” and complained. we were in the process of refunding when he asked to get the refund on a different card. Alarm bells went off. Turns out he stole someones card and knew their pin, and was trying to use us to transfer £100 quid to his own card.
I have also had drunk customers snatch the card reader out of my hand before i have typed in the payment price and then typed in their pin code as the payment…then type their pin again a second time because they assumed the buttons didnt work….so ive had to refund someone £3605 because they were impatient.
Moral of the story is please wait for the employee to hand you the card machine.
The guy’s a fucking idiot I’m onto it if I suspect I’m being overcharged a penny even when I’m drunk
I paid £770something for lunch with the kids once because the waitress typed the wrong number into the machine and I didn’t even look because I wanted to get going. She came chasing me up the beach in a proper state of panic.
NOOOOOO CASH IS OUTDATED NOOOOOOOOOOO ONLY TAX EVADERS USE IT NOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Enjoy your £600 burger, bros.
