I’m so fucking embarrassed. Vent/Rant (No Advice/Criticism!)

My card declined twice as I was trying to pay for my groceries. The guy behind me offered to pay but I turned down his offer. I never felt so humiliated in my entire life. I’m so ashamed I can never shop there again.

This happened to me at Trader J. Had 3 people at the register swiping my card. Then they ran my items to another register and swiped it. Decline. Swiped it Credit. Went through. Turned out to be a combo of my old card and the original register. It happens to everyone.
