Wake Up Call in Current Events

I am a little flustered right now. My credit card declined at the grocery store, I kept making the cashier try it over and over until I gave up and used my debit card. Like, I told the cashier what my payment method was and I don’t understand how that could have gotten lost in translation. I am pretty patient with people that struggle with English because English is not a measure of intelligence but I almost lost it on her. I left calmly because I did not want to cause a scene. Also, I am usually pretty balanced when it comes to things like this so the person with the problem in that situation was me. I accepted that maybe there was something wrong with my credit card which made my fragile little mind spin. I’m home now and that whole situation forced me to look at my budget and at all of my accounts. I didn’t want to use my debit card because I’ve been in denial about my situation and I have been hiding from my budget book. I haven’t even seen any account balances this month yet so now I know where I stand. Also, there was no reason for my credit card to decline so I’m going to have to call a bitch about it. I’m pretty sure that the cashier kept selecting the wrong payment method. Like, am I being punished for missing one payment for the first time ever? My balance on it is actually quite cute. Whatever, this was a wake up call. I know where I stand now and I can’t hide from it anymore. Yesterday is my three month anniversary of being fired so I suppose that this kick in the butt is just what I needed.
Yes, I have first world problems after all

that happened to me at the gas station, I forgot to make a payment so the card gets put on a suspension status; except when I called the card company they did not tell me what the problem was right away and they asked me if I was in front of a computer to check my account; it was a bit frustrating

Wha? They suspend cards over there? Here they just hike you with more interest! They sure as hell ain't stopping you from using it, unless you hit the limit of course lol.
I hope you aren't too harsh on the bitch you gotta cut over this haha.
