EdwardKnoxII 0 Report post Posted November 7, 2003 How about $2500? That's what this man did. http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=stor.../ap/pricey_beer Man Pays More Than $2,500 for a Beer WELLINGTON, New Zealand - How much would you pay for a beer in Hong Kong? A New Zealand traveler paid 20,000 Hong Kong dollars (US$2,595) for his. The man later told his bank he thought he was paying only about HK$19 (US$2.45) for the single beer, and that he believes bar employees duped him by adding additional zeros to his tab and then pocketing a big tip. The case surfaced Wednesday in the annual report to Parliament by Liz Brown, New Zealand's banking ombudsman. The man, identified in the report only as Mr. B, asked his bank to stop payment after he returned to New Zealand weeks later. But the bank said "it could not intervene" because Mr. B had signed the credit card receipt and told him his dispute was with the bar, Brown said in her report. Mr. B could offer no evidence that the sales voucher had been forged, and it had not "obviously been altered," Brown noted. Brown, who mediates complaints between customers and banks, told the man to withdraw his complaint. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PLAGIARISM! 0 Report post Posted November 9, 2003 Speaking as someone, who, in a moment of desperation, paid $4.75 for a 16 oz. plastic bottle of Bud Light... I don't need to complete this statement. I was charged £4.10 for a double vodka and coke in a bar that I only went to upon my friends insistence that they play sparks. I request sparks, Dj hugs me, 'I love sparks man' etc, did the little twat play it? Did he fuck. I would have sent the drink back, but I assume the inflated price covered the slice of lime.
