    It was probably a lack of attention combined with a genuine mistake. She claims she slept through the flight. Lots of people are also unaware how strictly we deal with it and think they’ll be fine instead of fined. We have an entire TV show about it.

    I don’t want to be too harsh on her as it’s relatively minor and the fine amounted to 10% of their combined remaining life savings. It was her mistake.

      You aussies charged her $2,000 for a harmless cooked sandwich. It was too old to eat and just garbage by the time she arrived to Australia. Instead of simply tossing it…$2,000. Y’all suck.
