Default I'm really cheesed off right now...

So I got off work starving, since all I'd had to eat was a ham sandwich around noon. I went to the supermarket because all I have in my room is some shitty microwave dinners, and I felt like cooking tonight. I bought chicken and some buffalo sauce and I was gonna make fries and everything. I also got a bunch of stuff I needed like bread and eggs and whatnot.

The total was about $47.

But the damn auto-checkout wouldn't take my card. I tried debit, which is my default. I tried credit. I called over the kid who manages the self-checkout area, and he was nice enough. I think he thought I didn't have enough money and was trying to scam through the register or something, till he checked the balance on my card and found that I have more than six times enough money to buy what I had.

So why tried for a few minutes to cajole the computers into accepting my card. The ATM wouldn't give me money, though it insisted that I had over three hundred dollars in my account.

AND I'M FUCKING HUNGRY, DAMN IT!!!

It's the result of the newest fad diet. The ATM diet. ATM's in grocerie stores will randomly stop someone from buying food. It's the beans way of trying to help fat people everywhere

And I gurantee that when you call the bank in the morning to bitch about it they'll tell you some shitty story that the computers were down for auditing.

That crap happened to me all the time when I was with 5/3 bank, and that was always their excuse... needless to say I'm not with 5/3 anymore.
