“Is this you? You’ve mistakenly QR-paid us RM2,660 for your RM26.60 bill,” the notice read. “Help us find them so we can return the remainder to them!”

“We’re not Botak Omakase,” it humorously added.

They speculated that the customer must have been too hungry or too satisfied with her nasi lemak that she accidentally overpaid.

Meanwhile, others remarked that the woman must be wealthy to have not noticed the error, having paid a hundred times more than the required amount.
