A hawker stall owner in Toa Payoh is searching for a diner who accidentally paid $475 for a meal.
Jia Cheng Noodle House’s owner, surnamed Lin (transliteration), told the Chinese publication Shin Min Daily News on Friday (April 24) that she had checked her Nets transaction history after the lunch hour rush and found the erroneous transaction at 11.47am.
“My turnover after lunch is usually around $200 to $300, so I was really startled to see several hundred dollars added,” the 45-year-old said, explaining that her earnings were past the $600 mark that afternoon.
She was confused about how the payment might have occurred, saying that the dishes don’t cost $4.75. Noodles or laksa costs $4.50, so she would understand somebody paying $450 by mistake.
When she attempted to review security camera footage, she realised that the camera’s memory card was faulty and all the footage had been deleted, Lin said.
