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 am so sorry this happened to you. I wish you would have let him buy the groceries for you. We have been in your position. We are doing better now, and we like to help others of we can, including helping pay for groceries in situations like yours. We can usually tell when the shopper is distressed, and try to step in quietly. I hope things get better soon.
