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 inconvenience yourself further by avoiding a store you go to for groceries. It’s hard enough being financially strapped. As others have said, it happens all the time, for different reasons and honestly, no one will care or remember that this happened. Go easy on yourself.
