Lor mee vendor in Singapore rectifies massive billing error after month-long delay

A routine meal purchase at a hawker stall in Bukit Panjang turned into an expensive mistake for one diner, who was charged S$650 instead of S$6.50 for a bowl of lor mee. The customer, who had been travelling abroad, did not immediately notice the erroneous transaction on his bank account. Upon his return and discovery of the charge, he contacted the stall operator to report the error. The stall owner acknowledged the mistake and took responsibility for the overcharge, working to process a full refund. After approximately one month, the vendor successfully returned the S$644 difference to the customer, resolving the matter. The incident highlights the importance of customers verifying payment receipts at point of sale, though the swift resolution by the stall owner prevented a prolonged dispute. No details were disclosed regarding how the billing error occurred or what measures the vendor might implement to prevent similar incidents in the future.
