Honestly, the grocery store had two checkout lines and I picked the wrong one

Tbh, I was at Kroger yesterday with just a basket of stuff. One line had a person with a full cart, the other had a guy with just a six-pack. I went for the six-pack line. Ngl, his card got declined, then he had to run to his car for cash. My quick choice turned into a 10-minute wait. Anyone else have a simple choice that just blew up in your face?

Actually, I think you made the right call. That line was still the better bet, you just got unlucky. Sometimes the smart move just has a random bad outcome.

Wait, his card declined for a six-pack? I mean that's just brutal. Usually those guys in the quick line are like the pros of grocery shopping, they've got it down to a science. But a declined card for twenty bucks? That's next level bad luck, makes me think the universe was personally out to get you on that one.

Wait, his card got declined for a six-pack? How does that even happen, it's like twenty bucks max. I swear, the universe just loves to punish you for trying to be smart about lines. You try to do the quick math and it always backfires. Next time I'm just picking a line at random and accepting my fate.
