The cashier had to punch in the ordered items a hundred times then :-) Each
and every fastfood-chain has a register where the cashier pushes a button
with the name of the item on it, and in the end a "total" button. The
register and the cardreader are connected, so the right amount should be
there on the machine, without any human intervention.
Now it could have been a computererror somehow, but it's very unlikely it's
a human error.
