Burgers With The Works
It's a reminder to all consumers who use debit cards to make sure they check exactly what they're being charged at the moment they buy anything.
Even something as simple as a hamburger.
It's a lesson George Beane, a Palmdale California resident, will never forget. He and his wife pulled up to a local Burger King drive through window last week and ordered two Whoppers and a couple of cheeseburgers.
The distracted and busy cashier had already rung up the order and taken $4.33 off of George's debit card. But in her haste to put the "fast" in fast food and get to other customers, she accidentally rang in the charge again - without erasing the first three digits.
That brought the Beane's burger bill to a whooping $4,334.33! And to make matters worse, no one noticed.

Are you an Hexakosioihexekontahexaphobiac?
According to the Wikipedia:
Hexakosioihexekontahexaphobia is a fear found in the Western Christian world, which originates in the belief that the Biblical verse, Revelation 13:18, indicates that the number 666 is linked to Satan or the Anti-Christ. Outside the Christian faith, the phobia has been further popularized as a leitmotif in various horror films.
