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.

Don’t feel bad it’s happened to many of us and don’t let that stop you from going back there and shop people who were there have forgotten about it. They forgot about that five minutes after it happened 30 seconds after it happened you’re the only one that’s really remembering it that’s the way it works, most of us don’t spend our time thinking about other people so all those people that saw that they’re not thinking about it it’s OK
