Fast food customer pays £666.50 for a veggie burger and chips which should ... trends now
A fast food customer has been left out of pocket after he mistakenly paid £666.50 for a veggie burger and chips which should have cost £6.50.
Toby Wilson, 35, from Manchester, unknowingly spent hundreds of pounds on the veggie burger and chips at food truck Efe's Kebab Kitchen on his way home from a night out in York.
He did not spot the additional two sixes added to his bill and he only realised the mistake when he checked his account balance days later to find it had dropped 'significantly'.
When the HR manager amicably approached business owner Ahmed Abdullah about his significant card payment, he said the vendor told him to seek a refund through his bank.
More than a month later, he claims the pair remain at a stalemate over any possible repayment of the costly late-night dinner.

Toby believes no fraudulent activity has taken place but said the initially 'funny' saga had caused him unending weeks of 'stress'.
He said: 'It's very frustrating. Admittedly, at the start, it was a bit of a funny story. I thought it would be quickly sorted out and the banks would go, 'Yep, it's an error.'
'But the bank is very slow at doing things. They said, 'have you got a receipt?' The human aspect of it is I don't. No one has a receipt for things like that.
'I have a mortgage and bills to pay. It is just very worrying. The point is the money is mine, and it's a significant amount.'
Business owner Ahmed Abdullah told The York Press that he had wanted Toby to talk to his bank for safety reasons, he said: 'I would like them to deal with the bank - it's safer for them and me, and this is the legal way'.
Toby,
