It is REALLY embarrassing to have your sandwich all ordered and ready and get up to the cash register only to have your card declined. Knowing I have plenty of money in my checking account to cover a meal at Subway, I ask him to try again, and it's declined AGAIN. So I left. Didn't have any cash, or I would have been using it. Went to the ATM and it said my balance was $70 but wouldn't give me any money. So I call the bank, and she says that whatever I bought yesterday has a hold on the card instead of just deducting the money. So I'm welcome to drive the sixty miles to my nearest bank branch if I want money, but that's the only way I can get cash right now.

This is the second time in less than a week that I've had trouble with a card, AND that the money has been there. I'm done with this. Stupid fucking cards. I'll go back to carrying all cash.

Oh, God...that is embarrasing. I had one decline on me like that before and I just wanted to crawl in a hole and die. I had no idea they could put a hold on your card like that. Evil banks! POX on them! and H1N1, too!!

Yeah, I'm going to have to find a new Subway now, because that one's owned by a family of immigrants who is ALWAYS there.

I was going to tell you not to do that, because they probably won't remember and will be happy to take your money, but since Subways are as plentiful as Starbucks, it may not be too much of an imposition to find a new one.
Still sucks, though. :(
