The plight of an elderly man in China who paid a bakery 5,555 yuan (RM3,550) for six flatbreads which should have cost him just five yuan (RM3.20) has shocked mainland social media.
An online stir was created when the owner of the bakery in northeastern China’s Heilongjiang province, Zhang Dayong, issued a search notice for the over-paying customer via several media outlets on Aug 27.
