The boy then informed him that he had something on the way but did not believe it until an UberEats driver called his wife.
Kris initially thought that the amount was Ghc819 but was shocked to confirm it was much more.
"I really looked at it, and it was Ghc6,994, and we almost had a bloody heart attack. I flicked through the screen about 30 times. That's how long the order was. It was like 99 cakes.
I had steam coming out of my ears, first of all, screaming his name down the street. He ran to his room before I told him so," he said.
Kris, a firefighter, said they place orders on UberEats every day, and Christian must have learned how to do it by observing them.
Refund
The enormous order was delivered to Newtown Fire Station, where Kris works.
Kris and his wife reached out to Ube Eats, and lucky for them, the company agreed to refund the money after learning what happened.
"The icing on the cake was when UberEats said they will give us our money back," the delighted dad said.
Boy buys Ghc15,299 ice cream
YEN.com.gh previously reported that a young boy, Noah Bryant, accidentally ordered Ghc15,299 worth of popsicles from Amazon.
On learning about the situation, the mother lamented, wondering how she was going to settle the debt with the student loan she was struggling with.
All thanks to a friend who set up a GoFundMe for the family, they were able to raise the money to foot the bill.
