My card got declined with a bunch of people behind me, so awkward

I was at the checkout and my card got declined for the first time ever. The cashier was cool about it, but I could feel everyone staring lol. How do you handle this without totally freaking out?

My third card worked, so maybe I should listen to blake_cooper and just carry cash.

Ugh, I mean the key is to just act like it's no big deal and have another way to pay ready. If you smoothly pull out cash or a different card, it cuts the awkwardness in half. Honestly everyone's probably more focused on their own stuff anyway.

That's the worst. Just joke about it and use another card, right?
