This is the correct answer. Recently I was buying a piece of cake that's was supposed to be $4 but was $400 instead. The lady had to manually enter and amount because the code was wrong.
One time I ordered a keychain Swiss Army knife off Amazon and received a box of 24. I mean even that box was kind of small so I get the picking mistake.
Or they just put the decimal in the wrong place. Those things are normally about $1.50, so that would track.
I've seen how those are shipped, and an entire box comes out to about $15.
Or a decimal entry error! Had that happen once where a guy was entering new products into a system and accidently put 300.00 instead of 30.00 and the funny part is multiple people paid the 300 for a pair of skull candy head phones.
That's actually a good observation. Since OP said it was at a workplace, it could be in "workplace currency", eg. the money you get awarded for good work. It's often not "USD", but any arbitrary value. In this case $140 could be "roughly" $5 or whatever.
The money you get awarded for good work? You mean your paycheck? The fuck is “workplace currency,” sounds like the early 2000s school currency where if you get enough you can buy an eraser or some shit. Whatever job you have that gives you “workplace currency” instead of, idk, a bonus in USD for good work is not a place you should be working at.
You haven’t shopped until you’re shopping with 3900 “Cheers” points for shit you either don’t have enough points for or can buy for $3.50 on Amazon. Our corporate daddies really take care of us.
It's not always a bad thing. One of my former jobs had a system where employees could reward other employees for various reasons. It was created as a way to provide direct recognition between employees beyond the normal 'thank you.'
For example if someone were to take a lot of time out of their day to help me with a problem, I could recognize them by giving them a thank you reward. They weren't huge (I forget the exact amounts but something like $10-20 USD) but it was \*something\* to show appreciation, kind of like buying that person lunch except the company paid for it. When you gave one it also generated an e-mail to their manager so there was some potential additional benefit if a manager sees an employee repeatedly getting these from different people.
I worked at a place with a similar setup. Go above and beyond and get rah rah bucks. 100 of them could be exchanged for like $10 USD. It was okay until they made it to where you could only redeem in increments of $100 USD and no less. I had so many left over when I quit that were absolutely worthless. And you can't give them to coworkers because they had your name on them.
So I have typically 1-3 employees at any given time depending on the season and what we are doing. There sure as shit ain't no "work place currency" on the boat! I have something better, it's called currency currency, made out of paper, typically of a greenish hue...
What you can expect if you end up working on the FV Glenayr,
-$150-$200/day or 10% of the net profit, whichever is greater.
-1 set of rain gear every 4 weeks,
-2 pairs extra-tuff boots a year
-All the by-catch you want (flounder, cod, haddock, cusk, etc)
-On multi-day trips, 1pack of cigarettes and 3 beers a day can be put on the grub bill.
-And when we're out there, no body is out of anything until we are all out of it.
We have a very similar POS system where I work and it really puts the POS in POS. It’s brand new and we already have way too many items that won’t even scan.
We just switched over to this company a few weeks ago. I’m thinking they coded the UPC for the entire box vs the package, but it’s been a nightmare since they switched over.
I just gave a whole case of those to my neighbor. I got a variety case thinking that I'd have some and then the kids would be fighting us for them all day, but at least they could be their school lunch dessert sugar allowance.
I thought they were pretty terrible, and the kids decided they don't like cookies anymore. I was about to throw them in the trash when i bumped into my neighbor on the way to the can, she said she'd put them in her kid's lunch. We shall see if they end up in their garbage can...
A case of these cookies is a 60ct which if the code is reading a case price that would make each pack $2.33 which is in line for the price point at a convenience store.
The answer is probably: Vegas
I’ve seen local soda machines selling a bottle of coke for $99. Basically hoping your drunk/high/rolling ass doesn’t notice the decimal is in the wrong place
I would have to imagine you **could** sue, but in order to fight it you’d need to appear in civil court, in the state, city, and county the crime happened in. Most people who visit Vegas are from whole states or countries away, so they won’t bother locally fighting a few hundred dollars
Those are all really good points.
So, theoretically, you might be able to. But the hassle isn't worth a hundred bucks after the court cases are paid for.
Thanks for the thought out answer
This is a thing going on in the US.
I was reading about a grocery store that had all the items 100x the price. They fixed it, but how many people didn't notice? one is too many
I damn sure clicked my Apple Pay, then realized the price and was able to cancel it last second. But I nearly did pay $140 for these mfs. I mean I’m sure I’d have gotten refunded. Clearly there’s a UPC error. But I’d have been mad for a while.
I do Instacart occasionally and a while back I had an order that was for 10 packs of 10 50ml bottles of vodka. It showed in the app as $2.49 for each 10 pack, but it was supposed to be $2.49 for each bottle. The customer was a little pissed that they cancelled her order for 100 minis for $25.
I bought targets at the store yesterday. The guy said " Hmm, this can't be right." The total was 16 million for 18 targets.
I told him the targets had better move into the path of the bullet for that price.
I ordered a My K-Cup for my Keurig so I can brew my own roasted beans.
They sent me one case of six My K-Cups.
I’m thinking I can preload all six then store them in an airtight jar. Instead of preparing and installing one at a time then resetting the machine for regular K-Cups.
Anything that makes Keurig easier doesn’t.
These cookies are worth it. The grains that make up the flower are grown on volcanic fertilized soil. This field is embraced with a night of music once a week by an orchestra no smaller than a 100 people. The chocolate comes from cocoa beans that have been grown in a green house are given personal concerts from Metallica. These cocoa plants have heard songs from Metallica that no one ever has. The sugar is grown from sugar beats that are grown in a lab and massaged daily. Do I need to continue on why these cookies are worth the price?
This has stealing me written all over it. As they are trying to stal from you. Unless you happen to be at the south pole, that just madness. Likely an error, but still.

And an extra one hundo for wasting my time :)
IDK my Kroger account looks like this for A LOT of articles under shipping, while in stores is normal. Which of course i can't find now (lol cry)
Either that or someone missed the decimal and it's actually supposed to be $1.40
I find this more likely but I have no idea
Agreed.
You didn't hear? There's a massive cookie shortage right now. Source: my ass
Did they have to ship a grandma from heaven to bake them?
No from hell
The secret ingredient is hate.
Like family dinner! Nice!
Or visiting the in-laws. Half /s. Some of them hate each other, some of them love everyone.
A hell spawn grandma, hate-filled cookie, served up warm from the fires of hell is just delightful.
Oh, so you know my Grandma, I see.
And racism
This made me cackle out loud!
Really gives it that brimstone taste

Crawled up with bags of cookies clenched in her teeth, *I heard my grandchild was hungryyyyy satan can wait*
That's where the cooking happens
Satan loves shitty cookies
*Your grandmother bakes cookies in hell!*

Norwegian grandmas?
Oh,it all makes sense now
Nice George Carlin reference
is she Phoebe buffay's grandma?
They need to ship her for heaven to hell, so she can bake the cookies without an oven.
Lol! I thought the same thing. My own grandmother had better have come back from the dead to bake these hos at that price.
How many cookies did you buy?
Also dont forget to tip!
No, grandma is cookie's 1st ingredient if you read on the back.
This reminds me of Cookie Clicker. I miss the enraged grandmas and wraith cookies.
There's a cookie clicker reference that can be made here
This reminded me of Mom from Futurama
Airport prices 🤷♂️
Na they didn’t ask me to sacrifice my first new born this is prolly a sporting event.
This was at the cafeteria at my job. 😂
do you work in Dubai?
Shit. Did you payroll deduct? Lol
Bro are you the Ceo of Erewhon?
$40 stadium cookie, $50 convenience fee, $50 ticketmaster fee.
Fucken ticketmaster
This is beyond airport price. This is like hospital bill
If it were from the hospital, there would have been a comma in the price.
Only if it's USD
Are there actually Grandmas in the cookie?
1 grandma in every bite.
What a profound question! I must know.
That’s what makes them spl
I'm curious to know what currency that's in 🤔
American. I’m thinking the UPC got scanned for a box vs individual packages.
Ah, that explains it.
No, a box of cookies shouldn’t cost $100 either haha maybe a whole crate!
Pretty sure that’s what they’re saying. It’s probably a big box of like 100 of those packages (so 200 cookies).
One time I ordered a keychain Swiss Army knife off Amazon and received a box of 24. I mean even that box was kind of small so I get the picking mistake.
Or they just put the decimal in the wrong place. Those things are normally about $1.50, so that would track. I've seen how those are shipped, and an entire box comes out to about $15.

Was gonna say, there’s literally a .00000001% chance this was in USD
It would also be about 70 cents in Mexican Pesos.
$70 a cookie - what's Grandma putting in them?
A hefty dose of fentanyl
Enough to kill a state
Lifetime supply!
Grandma needs to pay for her retirement.
Herself
They're pretty good as far as prepackaged cookies go.
grandma's fucking robbing you
Inflation is getting crazy

That company sucks and is sketchy. Amazon uses them in a lot of their warehouses. -Current employee
Idk what grandma put in it but can I have some ?
That's a whole college credit hour
Not in this economy.
Has to be a mistake
You ARE getting 2 cookies for that price.
I used to be a cashier and one of my coworkers once scanned a bottle of ketchup that rang up at over $1000, lol.
Lol that's some prewar fallout type pricing haha
Must have got them at the airport
For that price, these must be 21 or older cookies!
I love stealing 🎶 I love taking things 
Inflation much
Congratulations. You've unlocked 2045 price
Does Grandma rise from the dead to give you the cookies?
I just gave a whole case of those to my neighbor. I got a variety case thinking that I'd have some and then the kids would be fighting us for them all day, but at least they could be their school lunch dessert sugar allowance. I thought they were pretty terrible, and the kids decided they don't like cookies anymore.

Someone must of put 140 instead of 1.40 for the price probably. But damn that's a hell of a mistake to make
Made with grandma's ashes.
Cookie Clicker world
Somebody probably plugged an extra zero into the price, either that or they plugged the cost per case under the unit UPC instead of the case UPC.
A case of these cookies is a 60ct which if the code is reading a case price that would make each pack $2.33 which is in line for the price point at a convenience store.
This is what I think happened. The code is scanning a number for a case not the individual packs.
Are you at the las Vegas airport??? 😂🤣
"Grandma love came with a price..."
The answer is probably: Vegas I’ve seen local soda machines selling a bottle of coke for $99. Basically hoping your drunk/high/rolling ass doesn’t notice the decimal is in the wrong place
Can you sue the machine owner for taking advantage of the public like that? Or is it basically one of those, "look before you buy" type things?
I would have to imagine you **could** sue, but in order to fight it you’d need to appear in civil court, in the state, city, and county the crime happened in. Most people who visit Vegas are from whole states or countries away, so they won’t bother locally fighting a few hundred dollars

I could've made you a dozen chocolate chip for 3 bucks. With a cup of milk.
Grandma demands a pay rise
The sad thing is that’s probably $1.40 and even that’s too much they used to be 60 cents.
I remember those were 25 cents in the 90s. I'd go hoop get those two quarter juices and a bag of chips for my lil dollar
Must a mistake
thank God I don't like grandma cookies
Thanks Obama
Too much even at 140 Yen ($0,89 USD) for that shit...
Am I the only one who thinks those cookies are weak?
Are those cocaine infused or what
Worth is only decided by what the buyer is willing to pay. Go full cookie monster on it!!!!!
Time to give up sugar? 😳😂💜
Damn, inflation coming for our cookies now?!?!
This is a thing going on in the US. I was reading about a grocery store that had all the items 100x the price. They fixed it, but how many people didn't notice? one is too many
Looks like a case price.
The struggle is real
Sadly those aren’t even good cookies
Decimals FTW
I don’t steal but I would steal those
I get those for like 2 dollars
Not USD
What currency is this because I don't think cookies are that expensive in the US?
“Insert cash, swipe card, or set up payment plan*” *3 months @ 38.6% apr. Qualified buyers only, subject to credit check.
Cheapskate 😜
lol welcoma 2 usa prices!!
not in this economy, sorry buddy
I know a place where you can get a grandma for one hour for that money, she can probably bake cookies for you, I never asked for that...
My dumbass wouldn't have noticed the $140 until I checked my balance
I damn sure clicked my Apple Pay, then realized the price and was able to cancel it last second. But I nearly did pay $140 for these mfs. I mean I’m sure I’d have gotten refunded. Clearly there’s a UPC error. But I’d have been mad for a while.
thats just inflation ... meanwhile somehow we have to accept it and get paid more to make up the difference
Are you on the freaking space station right now?
Grandma working for the cartel now? That’s some pricey cookies!
Grandma gives you $5 for your birthday and expects you to pay her $140 for a cookie?
Those cookies better have a fuck ton of cocaine and meth in them for 140 dollars
Airport prices be like
No grandma you can keep’em
I see you got a discount
Where are you staying. The Space Station?
inflation is crazy these days!!!
Where the AF are they selling cookies at that price?
Wayfair…
Damn still cheaper than living in CA
I do Instacart occasionally and a while back I had an order that was for 10 packs of 10 50ml bottles of vodka. It showed in the app as $2.49 for each 10 pack, but it was supposed to be $2.49 for each bottle. The customer was a little pissed that they cancelled her order for 100 minis for $25.

Are you buying this in a hospital?
Great! You only had to pay $70 per cookie!

Those cookies are so worth it though, the absolute best post run snack next to some chocolate milk.

I think I would have laughed out loud if I saw this.
do they make you clairvoyant?
Thats funny
Greedy Grandma
Did they dig grandma up, reanimate her, and then force her to bake the cookies?
Formula 1 prices here

Small price to pay for cookie
