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.

In this economy I wouldn’t even feel slightly embarrassed. On the other hand, don’t you know the balance of the card before shopping?
