Yup. As somebody that works in a grocery store, it’s been known for somebody to try to order 2 cases of something (for example) but accidentally typed “22” in the form. Could have been distro from the company, too, when we have sale events our distributors will send us loads of stuff we didn’t even order because it is about to go on sale. Lots of possibilities. Over ordering is wayyyyyyy more common than people would think.

I've been a victim of the I meant to order 20 but added an extra zero by accident. So, find someplace to put it all...

Hahah. “Finger farting” as we like to call it. One time we ordered like, 20 cases of this teriyaki flavored tofu. They actually sent us that many. (A lot of times, they will send us way less if we do accidentally order a ridiculous amount) so it was deep discounted for about a month. We managed to sell it all, though!
