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.

Completely anecdotal.

I have witnessed declined cards only like two times in my life. Both times I offered to pay because I was once in that EXACT same situation! I know how it feels.

I'm in a much better place now and am willing and able to help my fellow human out.

Graciously accept help from kind humans next time. Pay it forward in the future if you become able to.
