Spent a whopping amount on a burger during a nightout
The 35-year-old was with his pals in New York when he stopped at the Efe’s Kebab Kitchen food truck at around 11 pm in the night when he was on his way back home. What he thought would be a regular veggie burger and chips dinner ended up becoming the most expensive meal of his life. Turns out, he brought moderately-priced burger and chips for a whopping £666.50 (little over Rs 66,000).
“I am a non-drinker. Maybe it would be different if someone was drunk and just stumbled into to get a kebab and got it all wrong. But that’s very much not the case,” Toby told the publication.
However, it wasn’t until days later that Toby realized the mistake. He was back in Manchester when he noticed a significant dip in his account balance. He told the portal that there was no way something like this could have happened to him as he is a non-drinker. He immediately asked one of his friends to visit the Kebab place to inform them about the mix-up. The HR of the food outlet namely Ahmed Abdullah advised him to speak to the bank.

“Being a large conglomerate, they have rules to follow and things like that,” he said, continuing: “I explained the story to them [his bank], and they essentially need him [Ahmed] to say ‘Yes, it’s happened.’”
“I thought it would be quickly sorted out and the banks would go, ‘Yep, it’s an error.”
“But the bank is very slow at doing things.”
The bank reportedly requires him to produce a receipt of the transaction but, as these things go, he’s not in possession of any.
“No one has a receipt for things like that. I have a mortgage and bills to pay. It is just very worrying. The point is the money is mine, and it’s a significant amount,” he added.
The business owner of the Kebab place reportedly insists that they’ve asked Toby to contact his bank only for safety reasons and that it is their legal way of handling things.
Toby, who has worked in hospitality, believes Efe’s Kebab Kitchen would be able to prove the Rs 66,000 payment if they just looked into their account.
