A small payment mistake turned into a heartwarming moment of honesty after a user named Rushu Tushu shared her experience online, along with photos of the transaction.

According to her post, the incident took place on May 5 when she stopped by a fruit shop while chatting with friends.

Without checking the screen, she completed the payment and walked away, unaware of the error.

She thanked the shopkeeper, who remained calm and simply advised her to double-check payments in the future. The incident ended on a light note, with her, her friends, and the shopkeeper sharing a laugh over the mix-up.
