That must have been one hell of a pizza.

...or fraud by part of the delivery guy. You just never know these days.

well obviously it was an error on his part.. luckingly the Visa probably has a lower limit.. because that would of sucked to refund that amount.. He would have gotten fired... Ultimate Fail.

You know, I'd like to try a pizza worth $22,356.61. It'd probably be moulded into the same of something, like a cheese-topped swan.

The 22nd General Conference on Weights and Measures declared in 2003 that "the symbol for the decimal marker shall be either the point on the line or the comma on the line." It further reaffirmed that "[n]umbers may be divided in groups of three in order to facilitate reading; neither dots nor commas are ever inserted in the spaces between groups."

$22,356.61 can mean either $22.356 61 (or $22,356 61) or $22 356.61 (or $22 356,61). Did you know that in most countries comma is used as the decimal separator? Not all English-speaking countries use period as the decimal separator, either.
You are British, so I assume you mean $22 356.61. And that's a very expensive pizza!

tl;dr: That's an expensive pizza!

i dont care what language anyone speaks, but there should be a standard to avoid just this sort of confusion

It's probably implemented in some .Net namespace.

I want a pizza for twenty two thousand three hundred fifty six dollars and sixty one cents!

I imagine the bread dough would be kneaded by the tender breasts of the finest Swedish maidens, sauce from tomatoes ripened in a specially designed chamber in San Marzano of Italy turn into sauce by a Kung Fu master, Cheese made of the highest and most sacred Hindu cow milk that is graded with a Halogen alloy grader, pepperonis made of the deepest and darkest spices from South America and the world's finest Aspen swines. Delivered by a secret double agent with a part time job, and a 2 liter of coke.

You forgot to add that the agent delivers the pizza by skydiving onto the roof of your house, abseiling down to your window and breaking in to deliver your pizza.

And potatis, the price I printed was the same as that which was printed on the receipt. Go complain to Pizza Hut if you dislike their numeracy preferences.

How do you even accidentally get a number that big? Per chance the pizza was actually $22 and some odd cents, that'd only be four digits. Where did the extra 3 come from?

HAHA, I like the way Rimrook thinks!
