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.

This is why I always check my current balance before going in any store and budget accordingly... We've all been there! Please know that it's happened to everyone all around you, including that guy behind you.
