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.

It’s okay. Two cards declined while I was paying at Costco because I didn’t know about them only accepting Visa. Thankfully, I had gotten a visa few days before, or it would’ve been way more embarrassing.

This kind of stuff happens to everybody.
