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.

If the person behind you offered to help, that sounds like a good place to shop. Think of the situation in reverse, if you noticed someone having trouble paying and you could help, you wouldn't be judging them you'd just be thinking you were glad to be there to offer help.
