[via The Consumerist]

According to Dale, “… Yesterday [my teenaged daughter] charged $23,148,855,308,184,500.00 at the drug store.”

$23 Quadrillion Charge plus a $20 service fee

In addition to this charge, Visa actually slapped a $20 “negative balance” fee on it. The amount of this charge is more than 2,000 the national debt, which is only $11 trillion. When the card owner called Visa, they said that there was a “system problem,” and that the “help desk was working on it.”

On the other hand, I would imagine CVS shareholders would be delighted by exceeding revenue projections by $23 quadrillion. A quadrillion here and a quadrillion there – it adds up.
