in line at the store behind a guy who's master card wouldn't clear for 70 cents

[ugksam]

goddamn how broke can you get? dude infront of me was buying an orange and a banana and before he even swipes the card the guy tells the cashier "I don't know if this is gonna go through. I might be 3 cents short." So he tries the card and it gets denied, then he digs through his pocket for some change(in the process of this a loose ibuprofen falls out of his pocket and he picks it up off the dirty ass grocery store floor and put it back in his pocket) hands the cashier a nickle and then swipes the card again and it goes through.

shyt had me thinking, what kind of person gets to this point where they know they are 67 cents away from maxing out their credit card and then they go and max it out anyways? some people are just terrible with money i guess. but the thing is i could hear change jingling around in his pocket, he probably had 70 cents on him. So why let the credit card company make interest off you buying a banana and an orange?

bonus points if you can guess the race of this guy

this is america in 2013. saving 70 cents in physical money isn't help shyt out, he's gonna wind up paying more for this shyt since its on a credit card.

How do you know it wasn't a debit card?

debit cards will always go through so that your bank can charge you money for over drafting your account, also i saw the mastercard logo on the card.

my friend and his family own and operate a liquor store in the hood, he' one of my closet friends and I'm into his sister so I hang there for a few hours sometimes, get some taco shop with him, it's crazy and kinda eye opening even for someone who grew up in/around it, half the time I almost want to pay for the peoples 3$ forties or whatever, as they count out nickels and crumpled dollars, and yeah I've seen people pay for 4$ items with debit/credit card...shyt is sad, scary, unnerving, poverty is endemic and it doesn't go away no matter how much society acts like it doesn't exist.

i have a friend like this lol we went into a store so he could buy cake and some frozen food for himself, he even told me he might not have money on his card but still went to the cashier, i turned around and looked back and he tells me yeah he aint got no money left and leaves his food at the counter
