Edit: thanks to everyone who responded! This community is actually helpful and I appreciate it. I will not be using a debit card ever again and will be calling my bank when the charge goes through 🫡
I immediately showed the charge on my card to the bartenders and they got the manager. The original bartender who took my order took my card never had me sign anything or gave me a receipt, handed the card back to me, then ignored me to take several other orders (it was super crowded). The manager was intoxicated I'm pretty sure and told me "we will fix it, what's the name on your card?" They couldn't find it in the system. He told me "that must mean they already cancelled it so no worries, plus it's just pending so it's not actually out. Don't worry my computer guy is coming". Then the manager disappears and does not help me further basically saying oh well.
I wake up today to another charge on that card from today for that bar for $45. I did not make a second charge with this card (considering they literally overdrafted me the last time I used it).
What can I do here? I am already dealing with a dispute from a hotel on my credit card, is having two disputes going on SUS? How do I get my now $300+ for my single vodka Red Bull back?? I know I can contact the bar again but they were so unhelpful last night that I feel they will be useless. I was not drunk and I had 6 friends with me as "witnesses" and none of them got overcharged.
It is still in pending so theres a chance this gets taken off I guess but I'm just trying to think of what I should do next and freaking out a bit :')
