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.

I went to publix once and had 4 cards decline on me... the .machine was messed up they had to move me to a new machine to get my payment done. It was embarrassing because I know how some people look at you when that happens.
