Looks like a simple UI issue, no biggie. They are used to way worse, and barely recoverable, issues created by people without a clue. Horrible sector to work in.

Sounds like you might have some entertaining stories?

Once upon a time in the dark ages of IT a Dutch bank made a mistake in their interest calculations. One alert customer noticed the error and notified the bank but that was not before 100's of thousands of people received papers with the wrong amounts on them (in favor of the bank). That took a while to correct.
