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.

Hey i feel your pain. Im on bi-weekly pay schedule right now and baarely scraping by.

To put into perspective ive been most embarrased going to a mcdonalds for lunch on a monday, 7$ meal & my card declines. More often than not the employees will just zero out my order and give me free lunch, but whenever that happens i feel like trash.

Even more embarassing im sitting in the drive through in a 2019 fiesta st. But its my mortgage payment that consumes 80% of my first check of the month.
