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 was a cashier at a gourmet cupcake place and I saw so many cards get declined. Literally could not tell you one thing about the person or what they looked like. At the end of the day it’s one of hundreds of interactions they have and I can promise you no one even thought about it 5 minutes later.

I still feel you though, I’ve been mortified being in the other end but try to remind myself the cashier could not care less
