Question

We ordered food from a fast-food place and paid for it.
One of the family members went to the store to pick up the order.
After he took the order, another family member, who did not know that the first had gone to pick it up, also went to get it.
He asked the staff in the store if our order was ready; the clerk checked and saw that there was no such order (because the other brother had already taken it), and prepared the order again.
Do we have to pay the store for the new order?

Answer

Shalom u’vracha.

You must pay, since the mistake was on your side.
