subject: Why I don`t use a debit card

From: "Gary Wiltshire" 

Man Is Charged $4,300 for Four Burgers Mar 28 7:15 AM US/Eastern
PALMDALE, Calif.

Four burgers at his neighborhood Burger King cost George Beane a whopping
$4,334.33.

Beane ordered two Whopper Jr.s and two Rodeo cheeseburgers when he pulled
up to the drive-through window last Tuesday. The cashier, however, forgot
that she'd entered the $4.33 charge on his debit card and punched in the
numbers again without erasing the original ones _ thus creating a
four-figure bill.

You'd think some sort of sanity check would be built into their system to
prevent transactions of that size.
