Twitch Streamer Lacy Forced To Pay USD 12K Bill After Viewers Exploit Restaurant QR Code During Live
The streamer said the bill climbed to 1.6 million yen after viewers thought it was funny, and he apologized to the restaurant.
- Twitch streamer Lacy accidentally exposed a restaurant's digital ordering QR code during a live broadcast from Japan on Tuesday, allowing viewers to place unauthorized food orders for his table.
- Viewers watching the livestream scanned the visible QR code from their own screens to access the ordering system, repeatedly submitting food requests linked directly to Lacy's table.
- Lacy reported receiving multiple receipts totaling roughly 1.6 million yen, or about $12,000, after staff brought out nearly 15 plates of food he had not requested.
- After apologizing to restaurant staff, Lacy insisted he would cover the entire bill and asked employees to "hand out the food to families" to prevent waste.
- The final total remains unverified as the restaurant has not publicly confirmed the incident, leaving questions about how the ordering system handled the remote requests.
