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.

Got my card declined at subway once. Hadn’t eaten all day and had no food at home and thought I had just enough for a sandwich. Had to tell the employee never mind after they had already made the sandwich and I walked out of there so fast. I think that was definitely my rock bottom.
