Visa Claims Teen Spent $23 Quadrillion At Drugstore

Visa claims that a teen spent $23,148,855,308,184,500.00 on a prepaid debit card while shopping at a drugstore. Exactly how stoned was the cashier to run a charge for over 23 Quadrillion (one thousand million million) dollars? And of course, the shopper was hit with a $20 overdraft charge from Visa.

"The embarrassingly-named VISA BUXX card is a debit card for teenagers: parents get reports, control, etc. My daughter has one.

My lectures about financial responsibility appear to have failed: yesterday she charged $23,148,855,308,184,500.00 at the drug store. That's 2,000 times more than the national debt, which is a paltry 11 trillion."
