Has anyone else gotten an all-zero approval code?

One of my cards generates approval codes beginning with 0 and ending in Z. I recently got 00000Z from a restaurant in Greece. The chance of that is 1 in 10,000. Has something like this ever happened to any of you?

I honestly doubt any of us are looking at approval codes if they're even visible to us depending on the issuer.

Interesting though.

Got: 07548P on a recent receipt.

It's always about the Approvals isn't it?  Just a slightly different kinda of Approval...

TBH, the title caught off me guard a lil' bit.

Never looked at one until reading this post.

Probably never look again.   

Thank you @NoMoreE46 for ruining my record of not looking.

The approval code is something that only the computers use. I would not be surprised if they are only unique between merchant and  processor. In the end it only matters if the terminal is happy. Just enjoy it for now.
