Not Authorized

Saturday, October 2nd 2010



Dayna and I went to Michael's. She bought embroidery floss for friendship bracelets and a wooden piggy bank box to paint.


Then we went to Shop Rite for a few things. We eded up with a cart full of groceries and a few pumpkins. Dayna helped so much. She put everything on the conveyor belt, bagged it all, and put the bags in the cart. She did a great job! She's so helpful.


I swiped my food stamps card. Not Authorized. :-( Hmm. I tried again. Not Authorized. The manager came over and tried manually. Still not authorized. It's showing a $0 balance. She asked if I'd like to try another form of payment. I don't have another form of payment. I was so embarrassed while I stood there watching the manager unload all of the groceries out of my cart leaving us with only a few cases of water and the pumpkins that I had enough cash to cover. :-( I felt so bad. I kept apologizing, to the cashier, to the manager, to the people in line behind me, to Dayna... I felt horrible.
