Not Approved. "Excuse me"

The other day, I'm in Whole Foods getting some General Tso's tofu for my lunch (if you have not had it and you like tofu, this is great stuff) Anyway, I take my tofu and vegan cookies to the register. On the way to the register, I wanted to have my card ready. I wanted to use my PayPal card so I grabbed it and proceeded to the register. My stuff came to nine dollars and some change. 'Credit' I told the cashier, swiped my card...the screen says...'NOT APPROVED' in nice bold print..."Excuse me!" I said rather shocked. Embarrassed, I have about 108.00 in my pocket- not enough in singles to cover the 9.00, so I had to break the hundred I had and I put the card in my back pocket. The cashier was very nice, but I was still embarrassed.

This morning as I was getting ready for work, I was clearing out my pockets and I pulled what I thought was my PayPal card out and I looked again and began to crack up...I had attempted to pay for my tofu with my PayFlex card that I use for my flexible spending account! I guess the machine was right!
