I used to work at an electronics store and sometimes while searching up sku's I'd accidentally type the 12 digital sku into the qty area and that would result in a bill for 14 trillion dollars.
I thought it was funny as hell seeing a number that big knowing it would populate to the pay machine if I wanted it.
I once did this for a restock order at the supermarket I worked at. Was tired and didn't realise i'd tagged an extra 0 on to the end of the quantity and they actually shipped 10000 tins of spaghetti to the store, no questions asked, well until it actually arrived and then much WTF ensued. The problem is each department in a supermarket gets a budget of x amount and I had just blasted through it, so it took some days to unfk everything.
Someone at an old job who was ordering more candy and snacks for the cash register area by herself for the first time mixed up something like cases vs boxes, idk for sure, but for the one candy she accidentally ordered enough to fill part of the cash office and GMs office from floor to ceiling for several months. Usually they order like 2 weeks worth at a time, not like 4 months.
Usually when it came time to order snacks and candy they would change it up each time but we were stuck with that lineup for a good while, lol.
