California woman thought she'd left a $5 tip until she saw it was $5,000 — and was told it couldn't be voided
Americans have long grumbled about tipping culture — but now digital checkout screens are turning that frustration into full-blown financial disasters. Sometimes, the issue isn't just pressure to tip — it's how easy it is to make a costly mistake. One in five Americans say they've accidentally tipped more than intended on digital checkout screens, according to an exclusive Opinium poll for on tipping culture. Thanks to Jeff Bezos, you can now become a landlord for as little as $100 — and no, you don't have to deal with tenants or fix freezers. Here's how I'm 49 years old and have nothing saved for retirement — what should I do? Don't panic. Here are 5 of the easiest ways you can catch up (and fast) Nervous about the stock market in 2025? Find out how you can access this $1B private real estate fund (with as little as $10) That's exactly what happened to Linda Mathiesen. While buying CBD pain relief gel at a store in San Bruno, California, she accidentally tipped $5,000 on a $129.28 purchase. Mathiesen said she meant to leave a $5 tip, but the payment terminal didn't show a decimal point, so when she entered '5000,' the system took it — literally. At first, the clerk at San Bruno Exotic told her the charge couldn't be reversed. Then the story shifted — he claimed the shop never received the money. But Mathiesen's bank statement showed otherwise. 'I'm just livid because I'm like I'm not going to pay $5,000 for something I never intended to happen,' Mathiesen told ABC 7 News. For Mathiesen, a $5,000 tipping mistake wasn't just a moment of panic — it became a financial crisis. As a special education teacher living on a fixed income, she didn't have the cushion to absorb the hit. With no emergency savings to fall back on, the charge was devastating. And she's not alone. According to the U.S. News survey, 42% of Americans have no emergency savings, despite experts recommending three to six months' worth of expenses. Mathiesen contacted Wells Fargo within five minutes of the transaction, but says the bank has done little to help, despite its promise of 'zero liability protection' for promptly reported fraud. The bank's website says its 'built-in protection features ensure that you won't be held responsible for unauthorized transactions, as long as they're reported promptly.' Yet, a year later, Mathiesen is still fighting to get the charge reversed. "I busted out in tears,' she told ABC 7 News. "My son is graduating college next week ... and I can't even buy anything for him because I have $5,000 outstanding ... now it's $5,500!" Read more: Want an extra $1,300,000 when you retire? Dave Ramsey says — and that 'anyone' can do it Digital checkout screens may speed things up, but one wrong tap can turn a routine purchase into a nightmare. It happened to Vera Conner, too. The Georgia woman was ordering her usual No. 4 Italian sandwich at Subway — priced at $7.54 — when she accidentally left a $7,112.98 tip. Conner said she was entering her phone number for loyalty points when the screen suddenly flipped to the tipping prompt. Before she realized what had happened, the charge went through. After hours of calls with Subway and Bank of America, she eventually got the charge reversed — but not without major stress. If you ever find yourself in a similar situation, there are steps you can take: Act fast. Contact your bank or card provider as soon as the transaction posts. The faster you report it, the stronger your case. Most banks allow 60 days to dispute a charge, but don't wait that long. Document everything. Screenshot the receipt, the payment screen if you can and keep records of any communication with the merchant. These details help prove the error wasn't intentional. Know the fine print. Many banks offer protection against unauthorized transactions, but not all mistakes qualify. If you technically authorized the payment, even by accident, you may be out of luck unless the merchant agrees to reverse it. Build an emergency fund. It's not just for layoffs or medical bills. Sometimes it's for the unexpected stuff — like tipping $5,000 for a $129 product. Here are 5 'must have' items that Americans (almost) always overpay for — and very quickly regret.

Why Taiwan Semiconductor Stock Popped Today
TSMC told its shareholders it expects to earn a record profit this year. Tariffs could depress demand in the U.S. -- but not demand everywhere. TSMC is confident it can continue growing at 20%-plus annually. 10 stocks we like better than Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing › Shares of Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (NYSE: TSM) jumped 3% through 2:35 p.m. ET after CEO C.C. Wei told shareholders at the company's annual general meeting that TSMC expects to earn "record profit" in 2025. Of particular interest to investors, Wei said he's "not afraid" that President Donald Trump's tariffs turmoil will keep TSMC from reaching this goal. "The impact of tariffs on TSMC is not direct," Wei said. "Tariffs are paid by importers. However, tariffs will make prices higher and could drag down demand." Regardless, "overall AI demand is still very high" -- indeed, higher than the production capacity to fulfill it. Thus, if U.S. buyers pull back on buying semiconductors manufactured in Taiwan, well, there are always other buyers elsewhere. Long story short, Wei is confident his company can continue growing sales in the mid-20% range despite tariffs threats. Because even if supply eventually meets demand for artificial intelligence applications, new markets are forming to create even more demand for the company's chips. Which markets? "The chip demand for humanoid robots starts now," declared Wei. So demand for TSMC's chips shouldn't be an issue. But should you demand to buy some TSMC stock? Maybe. On the one hand, a mid-20s growth rate compares favorably against a TSMC P/E ratio of only 24, suggesting TSMC stock is cheap. On the other hand, TSMC's free cash flow isn't quite as robust as its reported generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) earnings suggest. The company reported $39.4 billion profit over the past year, but FCF was only $27.3 billion, meaning TSMC generated cash profit of only about $0.69 for each $1 in claimed profit. With a price-to-free-cash-flow ratio of more than 31, TSMC still seems pricey to me.

Trump's aluminium tariff rise threatens Indian industry, Vedanta warns
-- Vedanta (NYSE:VEDL), an Indian metals-to-oil conglomerate, expressed concern on Wednesday about the potential damage to the Indian aluminium industry posed by U.S. President Donald Trump's decision to double aluminium tariffs to 50%. The company, which is the largest aluminium producer in India, stated that this increase in tariffs threatens an industry already grappling with a rise in imports. According to a spokesperson from Vedanta, the 50% tariff announced by Trump could exacerbate the difficulties faced by the Indian aluminium industry. The industry is already dealing with an increase in imports that is creating a surplus and posing a risk to domestic market access. In response to this situation, Vedanta has called on the Indian government to implement protective tariffs against imports. The spokesperson highlighted the need for duty guard-rails for the aluminium industry, which has invested more than $20 billion to establish the current domestic primary aluminium capacity.
