What we found, in plain English
Two identical charges of $78.42 from Harbor Grocery posted on August 29 at 6:14 PM and 6:18 PM. Only one order confirmation exists for that date, which is a strong signal of a duplicate authorization that captured twice.
Recommended action: Awaiting merchant response. This is an explanation of a merchant policy, not legal advice, and the merchant makes the final decision.
