A Malaysian student accidentally overindulged when they ordered a frappuccino from Starbucks that came up to a whopping RM44.10
Sharing their silly blunder on MMU Confessions on Facebook, a confession page set up for students of a university, they described the slip up as a "great resentment event".
"I couldn't understand the Starbucks staff's English, (so) I just nodded. By the end, the staff member even laughed at me. I regret it," said the anonymous student.
They attached a photo of their order receipt in the confession post, which saw them paying at least RM19 for toppings
It is believed that the student ordered a venti-sized Belgium Chocolate Frappuccino, a new item that costs RM21.50.
The toppings they unknowingly added are believed to be caramel drizzle, cookie crumbs, and vanilla cream, among others.
The student was also charged RM1 for a reusable straw. After 6% service tax, they had to fork out RM44.10 for the drink at the Starbucks outlet in Berjaya Times Square, KL.
At the time of writing, the post has garnered over 5,300 likes and 1,800 shares
Even though it is uncertain which party was to blame for the blunder, many netizens left hilarious comments to tease the student for their poor command of English.
"Told you to study, but you didn't," wrote a Facebook user, believed to be teasing the student's English proficiency.
"Drink less Starbucks and take the money to study English," read a comment.
Another netizen said in jest that the Frappuccino is Starbucks' version of ais kacang.
