Ha! Coincidentally my wife picked up a Chinese take-out dinner for us a couple years ago. Came to $35. The cashier left her finger on the "0" key a little too long and those egg rolls suddenly cost $3,500. They gave my wife the same story, it would take a week to ten days to process the refund. She went into lawyer mode, made some very firm phone calls to the owner and the bank and got it credited the next day.
Purchased a drink at a Cruise-ship bar. The receipt showed a charge for 100 drinks. Had the bartender correct his error right then.
10 days for a refund! Bet the 55K left his account faster than that.

But all is well. Australia resoundingly beat England in the cricket series the journo was there to cover. No sandpaper used to "condition" the cricket ball this time.
