debit cards are strange

My grandmother was hosting a bridge card game at our house today and she told me to go play outside. I had a better idea, to head to a cofee shop and write some poems and sceenplays (at least the begginnings of some). Judy volunteered to take me when i asked if she wanted to do that or maybe drive to atlanta and go to the world of coke-a-cola museum i found out they had recently where you can taste cokes of different flavors (grape coke would be very delicious!)

I got some work done but i was researching robotics and technology for the use of my screenplay and the internet connection wasn't very good. After a couple of hours i gave up and we left. Then the weirdest thing happened.

We stopped at a place called Kwikee Mart which i have always thought was a weird name. You would want to spell your word right to attract customers instead of making them unprofessional and kiddy like that. We stopped because Judy's car started beeping and her dad told her to pull over and he picked up us and brought her car back to the repair shop to get them to fix the problem again, I just hope it doesn't coast 500 doallars again!

While we waited for Judy's dad, we perusaled the shop inside of the gas station. They had a variety of cheap used DVD's and car decals with funny slogans on them. I almost bought some sunglasses because they were only $5 but then I saw a very nice holiday snowglobe in there clearence section at th e back of the shop for a very steep discount. I guess most people don't get there snowglobes at gas station stores when they have walmarts or marts or targets but this was previously priced at $20 and it featured a very realistic looking snowman near a big cityscape and the text "WELCOME TO THE HOLIDAYS" on it. The glass was very even and it looked like a very quality snowglobe.

I lost one of my favorites in the trip to Hollywood, Los Angeles so I was exited to buy it and at $4.99 cents on sale it was a now brainer!

I went up to the cash register feeling very lucky but when I swiped my debit card it was declined. I tried three times but it was declined every time. I have never had that happen before and I know it was not the card reader because i was able to buy it with my credit card with no issue after the fiasco. Why would one work and not the other? I don't foollow that at all. Debit cards are very strange.

I haven't asked my grandmother about it because shs is still playing bridge cards downstairs.
