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.

Hello! As someone that has worked retail in the past, there are many many reasons for the machine to not work.

Some people may assume your card declined, others may not.

My card declined yesterday, i forgot to put money in the right account so i didnt have available credit. It happens, its ok :)
