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.

Heh. Ironically, it is 5/3 I bank with. I've never had a problem with them... until I got married. And now they're screwing EVERYTHING up. Argh. I love the tellers at my usual branch - they remember me and they're very sweet. But yeah. We're pretty much done with 5/3. We're going to pay our first of the month bills, go to his cousin's wedding, and then switch banks (don't want to do it in the middle of lots of stuff going on and needing to use our debit cards).
