Woman receives ₹50 lakh bill after accidentally sharing restaurant's QR code on social media

A meal at a hotpot restaurant turned into a nightmare for a Chinese woman as she received a $60,000 bill which is approximately ₹50 lakh. She got an astronomical bill for the food that she did not order.

The woman shared a picture of her meal on her social media, but what turned the tables was that the QR code on the table was included in that picture. This was not some regular QR code as through this, people can scan and order their food.

However, as the picture went online, several social media users scanned it and placed several orders on the woman's table. Even though the woman tried to explain to the restaurant what happened, the restaurant was unable to cancel the orders and she ended up getting the hefty bill.

After this, the woman deleted her post but people kept making new orders at their table. The woman assumed that someone downloaded her photo and continued making orders using the code.

In the screenshot of the order, it was mentioned that people ordered 1,850 portions of fresh duck blood, 2,580 portions of squid, and 9,990 portions of shrimp paste, each priced at a few dozen yuan.

The restaurant did not make Wang pay the bill as they moved her to a new table. Management also said that they could not track down the people who ordered the food nor they could stop people from doing so.
