Have you ever found yourself without money or card

Yes I’ve had such an experience and it still hurts today when I think about it! My daughter and I were having dinner at McDonalds as a treat because my husband was away and we were missing him. To add to my misery after we had our meal my daughter decided she wanted a chocolate sundae; I ordered it and when I reached into my bag to pay for it…No purse! It had been stolen out of my bag while we were dining! It was heartbreaking because I had just withdrawn our pay just before we came to the restaurant. I was embarrassed as I explained what happened and the manager came out and took a look at the security footage but where we were sitting had not been captured. He allowed my daughter to have her sundae for free and was very sympathetic. My purse was found an hour later in the toilet of a gas station nearby void of any cash and credit cards!

hi yes balasri A few years back when I was working at the library I decided since I had just got paid, that I would stop for lunch at my favorite restaurant after going to the bank. Than hunger overtook me and I went to the restaurant first. I ordered eggs over easy and has browns even though it was one in the afternoon. but when i went to pay I then realized why I was to go to the b ank first. No cash, check book and paycheck but no cash .since I was a long time well known customer they just took my social security card to keep while I went across to myh bank, got some money and came back to pay my bill. then I received my social security card back.

Well, sometimes there is no more money in the debit card even if I deposited a check since they put a hold on some checks ,and I look like an idiot with no money trying to buy groceries. Ha Ha, is very embarrassing ,and I want to disappear ,so I just put all the groceries back as soon as possible ,and leave the place.

not actually i had no money at that time. the cashier already entered the items and the total amount got over the budget. i was not sure if the cashier can delete some items so my money can reach the total. but luckily, i found a friend and borrow money so i have paid all the total amount.

Oh yes balasri, I have a debit card which is associated to my savings account so I normally don't carry that much cash to be on the safe side. So one day I was at a restaurant eating with my daughter and when the time came to pay up, I searched and searched my handbag and couldn't find my debit card. My eight year old daughter was already starting to panic and I was really embarrassed too because the waitress was waiting for me to pay up. After much searching in my handbag, I placed my hand in my pocket and realized that I've put my debit card in my pocket instead of my handbag after paying for the previous purchase. What a relief! Otherwise my daughter and I probably would have to wash dishes at the restaurant. He he!

That happened to me once. what i did was look around hopeful to see someone whom i know to save me from the situation yet found none so what i did is i returned the items and told the cashier that i forgot my wallet and ill just be back after a hour or so. An then, i did as i told her. I make it a point to be back just to save my face ha ha for i feel really ashamed for what happened,then i go to the same counter to pay the product. Good thing that i have nothing important to do that day so being back at the store didnt strain my schedule a bit.

I must say I have been in this situation at least once or twice because I had left my card in the possesion of my boyfriend. I lend it to him to do some groceries because I had no cash at hand and I forgot to ask it back. I went to the stores a couple of days later to get some shampoo and other groceries and when I reached for my card remembered that I left it in the possession of my boyfriend. I got embarresed and told the cashier that I had left my card at home/with my boyfriend and if she would be so kind to place the groceries behind the counter, and that I would be back within half an hour to pick them up. She was very friendly and understanding and agreed to do so. When I got back she had put everything in a bag for me so I could pay and take everything with me without having to shop for it again. It's not a nice experience, but the people from the shop were very friendly.

Yes, just once. I don't remember too much of the incident...but I think I kept back all the items and came back home. Since most of the little hypermarkets around the place I stay home deliver goods...a couple of times, I have asked them to deliver the stuff home...when I've forgotten to take money or card. In that case, I can't give the card when I get home...only cash.

No. Not with fully empty purse did I face any awkward situation at any time. But once I went to a departmental store with my small child. He was nagging me to carry him. At that time somebody pick-pocketed some money from my handbag. Fortunately, I kept some money inside one of the zips and I could meet my bill.

Yes, this has happened to me once or twice, but now I check and check again that I have my wallet with me before I go to the stores. It was quite embarassing and not only that, but I had to drive home about 10 miles to where I live to get my wallet with my cards in it. They kept all the shopping for me until I got back, but what a waste of time! _Derek

no, i have never found myself like that and I wish it never happens to me ever. That would be so embarrassing. I don't even want to imagine. I always carry my card or cash, whichever is convenient for me. I plan before i buy anything so that i don't run out of money when i am buying stuff. Always plan first before you buy anything. This will help you to avoid embarrassment.

I've had one embarassing moment at a nearby computer-cafe when I forgot to bring my wallet along. And my son had to come with some cash for the payment. That was because I had to pay. If it was something else I would have just left it if it was Ok to do so.

Once many years ago when I was on my way to work,I stopped at the garage and filled up my car with petrol. When I went to pay I found that I had left my purse at home! I left my watch with the man behind the till while I went home to get it - needless to say I was late for work that day

I did have a debit card but no cash. But the card wasn't working, the cashier tried it like 5 times and it was denied. I didn't have any choice but to the return the goods. It was kind of humiliating. My card got blocked that day because I entered the wrong pin.

Once the lock was stuck on the door to my vacation home and the locksmith only accepted cash and my cash was in a box under a whole lot of other boxes and it was night so it was hard to go through all that stuff, so my neighbor loaned me the money to pay the locksmith. Then I went to an all night grocery store and bought my neighbor a cake and charged it on my plastic to get cash back from the purchase. I went right home and gave my neighbor the money and the cake. Then I put a can of WD40 in my car so if that ever happened again I could unstick it myself. It cost $75 and all the guy did was spray the opening of the lock with WD40 and I had a can inside the house! Now I carry it in the car.

Hey bala! How embarrassing is that?lol I have been in that position and I had to get back off the line and put the item back! I think once I was able to borrow money from my girlfriend that I was with and give it back to her when we got back to my house! I am usually pretty prepared when I go out, but every now and then I find something I want and don't have enough cash or money on the card I want to use. I do have a backup card, but am trying to keep it "clean"!lol

LOL several times...I go in a rush to the shop close by and find that I have left my wallet behind.But thankfully this being a small town everyone knows everyone and they dont mind giving the stuff and I pay them later. Once it happened at the petrol station and I was so embarassed, but again they came to my rescue and asked me to pay later.I think after that incidence I have been very careful...All the best balasri and have a great weekend

only once or twice LOL recently I forgot my purse out in the car easy fix I sent my oldest daughter out to the car to grab it. my husband on the other hand forgets his wallet regularly we have to have the cashier save the transaction so he can run home and get his wallet and then come back Its embarrassing

Hello it happened with me once, me and my wife ate once in a restaurant in city, but at the counter i found my wallet missing, i left that at home, the owner is known to me, so i paid later.. Thanks for sharing. Welcome always. Cheers. Professor
