Default wtf? like srsly kthxbye

this is bizarre.

i did a pay at the pump and got a reciept from the machine. i didnt really pay any attention, just put it in my wallet.

now that i am submitting my reciept to the company, i notice this hard printed message (in the same font as the data)

"wtf? like srsly kthxbye"

How does that internet lingo get on my reciept? do you think the machine had a skimmer on it or something?

Boy that is weird - I'd be tempted to cancel that card number just to be safe

My guess is it was a developer debug message that didn't get removed, or a joke that got past QA.

Probably wouldn't be a bad idea to change your card's PIN, just to be safe.

Obviously, the teenaged girl working inside the gas station wanted to ask you out, but when you left, she just said, "wtf? like srsly kthxbye".

The gas station attendent has the option to put messages at the bottoms of receipts. I once knew a guy who wrote things like "your consumption is destroying the Earth".

He got fired.

Maybe a programmer left in some debugging code during an error check or something.
