as i pulled out my debit card to pay, the tattooed burly woman said, "cash only, baby."

"oh. erm, i don't have cash. do you have an atm?"

"'round the corner at the grocer."

so off i went. whilst at the store, my eye was caught by a delightful looking peach. lost in the aisles of eggs and soy milk, i  picked up a few other items and went to pay. my card declined. 

ok.

after sorting out this mess i realized maybe it's a sign that i shouldn't be spending 4$ on a small coffee, when i can't even buy my groceries, anyway. 

i still felt bad for never going back.
