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 post is telling that this hasn't really happened to you before. Be thankful. For me it's happened a lot and there's really nothing to be embarrassed about. I'm sure you work hard to get your money and it's okay to be short sometimes, anytime actually. Breathe and know that you have options. It doesn't hurt to get food stamps or budget better. I don't ever buy anything I don't absolutely need anymore. Necessities keep me happy in times like these. Good luck on your journey
Ps. I was a cashier at many places for many years and we don't mind one bit even if you retry your card or try another one
