A routine lunch run to Subway turned into a nightmare for a Georgia woman, Vera Conner, after she accidentally left a $7,000 tip on a $7 sandwich. Conner had ordered her usual No. 4 “Supreme Meats” sub, also known as an Italian with ham, salami, pepperoni, and cheese on a roll, from a Subway in the Atlanta suburbs. However, when she went to pay the $7.54 total, Conner mistakenly typed in a tip amount of $7,105.44.

Conner explained that while inputting her phone number into the checkout kiosk to earn Subway loyalty points, the screen glitched and turned the end of her phone number into a hefty tip. "When I looked at my receipt, I was like oh my God!" Conner exclaimed. "I thought this number looks familiar - it was the last six numbers of my phone number. Who would leave a tip like that?"

Realizing the mistake, Conner spent the next month desperately trying to rectify the situation. She contacted her lender, Bank of America, reached out to the Subway outpost in College Park, and even visited the store in person seeking assistance. Unfortunately, the Subway manager couldn't offer much help and advised Conner to contact her bank for a chargeback.

Feeling frustrated, Conner expressed her annoyance, saying, "You hear all the time that you should use your credit card instead of your debit card so that these things don't happen. I'm even getting mad at the bank because I'm like, how did they not think $7,000 was suspicious at Subway?"

Initially, Bank of America denied Conner's refund request, leaving her even more distressed. "I thought it would be an easy fix ... then I got the denial from the bank," Conner said, noting that the letter didn't provide a specific reason for the denial. Worried about the situation, Conner resubmitted her claim to the bank.

Finally, after a month-long struggle, Conner was issued a "temporary credit" on Monday, providing some relief. She declared that this incident has made her swear off loyalty programs altogether, considering them not worth the trouble. "That's it for reward apps," Conner declared.

A spokesperson for Bank of America stated, "We asked Subway to refund the money to the client, and we're pleased they have agreed to do so." However, representatives for Subway did not immediately respond to The Post's request for comment.

In summary, what should have been a routine lunch run turned into a financial fiasco for Vera Conner, who accidentally left a $7,000 tip on a $7 sandwich at a Subway in College Park, Georgia. After a month-long struggle, she was eventually granted a temporary credit by Bank of America.
