Calif. teacher accidentally leaves $5K tip at vape shop
This slip-up was a real tipping point. A special education educator inadvertently left a $5,000 tip at a vape shop — and reportedly spent the next several months fighting with her bank to smoke out the eye-watering number. Linda Mathiesen, a Peninsula single mother who struggles with shoulder pain, made a $129.28 purchase for CBD gel to help with the nagging issue at a Bay Area shop last year — and wanted to leave an additional token of appreciation, according to a KGO report Wednesday. She told the station she only wanted to leave a $5 tip, but struggled to see the credit card pad on the tall checkout stand even on her tippy toes. Advertisement 3 Linda Mathiesen left the huge tip at a vape shop by accident. ABC 7 'He says enter a tip — so I did… I push what I thought was only two zeroes. Ended up being three zeroes,' Mathiesen claimed. 'But, there's no decimal point… I'm like, 'Wait, I want to delete this.'' Advertisement The clerk processed the charge and then claimed to Mathiesen he didn't know how to void it, she said. The employee also claimed the tip never went through, but Mathiesen's bank statement said otherwise, the station reported. 'Who would ever?' Mathiesen reportedly said. 'Like, $5,000? I don't have that kind of money.' The mother of two grown sons claimed she contacted her bank, Wells Fargo, 22 times, including calling them five minutes after leaving the store. Advertisement She was left frustrated for months to the point of tears before the bank recently stepped in after KGO reached out to them, the station reported. 3 Wells Fargo eventually refunded the money. Kristina Blokhin – The bank reportedly contacted Mathiesen and told her they would refund her the shocking figure, as well as interest. Wells Fargo told People in a statement Friday that when it became aware of the problem, it worked to 'resolve this situation.' Advertisement 3 She has been sifting through piles of paperwork. ABC 7 'We are committed to working with our customers to find solutions when they encounter issues,' the bank also said. The Post has sought comment from Wells Fargo late Friday. Meanwhile, a worker at the vape shop told KGO that ownership changed in January and had no comment.

Why Costco Stock Was Sliding Today
Costco reported solid comparable sales for May, but it was slower than April and the rest of the fiscal year. In a note, Wells Fargo expressed concern over the company's valuation. The stock now trades at a price-to-earnings ratio of 57. 10 stocks we like better than Costco Wholesale › Shares of Costco Wholesale (NASDAQ: COST) fell after the warehouse retailer posted comparable sales for May that were slightly below estimates. For a stock that's priced to perfection like Costco, that was enough to send the stock down 3.9% as of 2:01 p.m. ET. Costco is one of the few retailers left that reports monthly comparable sales, as others have backed away from the practice, in part because they think it adds volatility to the stock. Investors sometimes overreact to the numbers. That may be what's happening here. In May, Costco's comparable sales rose 4.3%, or 6% after adjustment for fuel prices and foreign exchange. That was below its growth rate of 5.8%, or 7.9% after adjustments for the first 39 weeks of the fiscal year. Costco also said that overall revenue rose 6.8% for the four-week period ending June 1. Those are hardly concerning numbers, but Wells Fargo said in a note this morning that those results were just below expectations of 6.2% adjusted comparable-sales growth. Though the bank said the retailer continued to perform well, it noted its high valuation and reiterated an equal weight, or neutral rating, with a price target of $1,000. Investors shouldn't change their thesis on Costco stock based on one month of comparable sales, but today's pullback is a good reminder of why valuation matters. Costco now trades at a price-to-earnings ratio of 57, meaning high expectations are baked into the stock. While the business is strong, the valuation assumes that its superior growth rate will continue. However, even a moderation to mid-single-digit comps is enough to send jitters through investors, as we saw today. If Costco's numbers disappoint again, the stock could fall further.

Special Education Teacher Thought She Was Leaving $5 Tip, but It Was Actually $5,000
Linda Mathiesen said she accidentally left a $5,000 tip instead of a $5 tip at a California vape shop about a year ago She then claims she spent months trying to dispute the transaction before her bank refunded her Wells Fargo tells PEOPLE that they "resolved this situation" and "are committed to working with our customers to find solutions when they encounter issues"A California woman said she felt generous after shopping at a vape store and decided to leave a $5 tip — then realized she accidentally left three extra zeros. Special education teacher Linda Mathiesen told ABC affiliate KGO that about a year ago, she went to San Bruno Exotic to purchase a couple of items to help with her shoulder pain, including CBD relief gel. In a giving mood, she decided to leave a $5 tip, but Mathiesen told KGO that she couldn't fully see what she was doing at the tall checkout stand. "I push what I thought was only two zeros. Ended up being three zeros," Mathiesen said. Once she realized those zeros were in front of the decimal point, and not behind it, she tried to rectify her mistake, but the clerk reportedly said he didn't know how and processed the tip instead. Mathiesen alleged to KGO that she began the process of disputing the transaction with Wells Fargo that same day, but after dozens of attempts to try and reach them over several months, the matter hadn't been solved. However, the outlet claimed that after they reached out to the bank, Wells Fargo did respond to Mathiesen, promising to refund the tip plus interest. When reached for comment, a bank spokesperson told PEOPLE that after learning about what happened to her, they "resolved this situation." "We are committed to working with our customers to find solutions when they encounter issues," they added.

When PEOPLE reached for comment on Friday, June 6, the phone number was not in service. Mathiesen did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Read the original article on People
