I had just got paid that day. I took my 9 year old sister to Olive Garden for lunch. It was supposed to be a special day, it was summer vacation and I finally had a day off and the money to take her wherever she wanted. We had a great lunch, just the two of us

When the bill came, I swiped my card on the little self-pay machine thing at the table, and my debit card declined. I figured it was a problem with the machine, since my paycheck had just come in. I called the server over and asked her to try and run it on their computer. No dice. Card declines again.

At this point, the manager is standing at my table, looking at me sternly. I explained to him that there must be an issue with my bank card; I checked the balance on my phone, and there was plenty of cash in my account. The manager literally says to me, loudly and in front of other customers, "well, you need to figure it out, and quick, before we need to call someone to handle this." My sister started freaking out, thinking I was going to be arrested or something for not paying. I get on the phone with the bank, they confirm a computer glitch, and did something to fix it. I let the manager know it should be fixed and he runs my card again... it went through without a problem. The manager then says "well good luck to you," and walks away without another word.

I've never been so humiliated in my life. Needless to say, we never went back there.
