Chicken fingers are among the most enjoyed
snack foods in the U.S. That's probably why
the vendors at Nationals Park have decided
the vendors at Nationals Park have decided
to charge nearly $200 for a single serving. Yum.
On Saturday night, I got a note from a fan of HSB who was enjoying the Nationals come from behind win against the Cincinnati Reds. She called it "the most exciting baseball game" she had ever been to, and was even surprised to find herself emotionally engaged in the game.
However, the joy of the experience came to a crashing end when she checked her bank account this morning to find that she had been charged 19 times for her chicken finger basket. I guess the profit margin on the $9.50 chicken finger basket (no drink included) isn't quite enough to pay the bills.

She called the Nationals this morning and left a message - no word back.
She also called the bank that holds the debit card.
The bank's representative said that she had "never seen double-charging to this extent." She also said that the vendor attempted to bill the account several more times, but the bank shut it down after 19. The bank is contacting the Nationals and, in the meantime, T.D. Banknorth has issued a "Fraud Alert" for Nationals vending.

For $180.50, you could buy a seat in the PNC Diamond Club -- which includes access to the Diamond Club, a parking pass, a $35 food and beverage credit and in-seat food and beverage service.
You would also have an extra $10 that you could put toward more chicken fingers.
that would pay my directv for a month, porn excluded.
