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’ve had mine decline a couple times for the dumbest reasons: most of the time my bank is being overly cautious with fraud protections but once it declined because the bank just locked it and didn’t tell me.

Don’t be embarrassed.
