      sometimes banks will randomly reject payments for “security reasons” even if there is enough money.

      I spend from a different bank account than the one I get my paycheck in, so I need to refill my spending account periodically.

      Usually when I try to pay and it’s declined. So I get declined from time to time, and it’s not because I’m broke. It course I’m not explaining all that to a cashier, instead I just panic.

    Back in the old days the cashier would have a booklet with valid credit card numbers. Sometimes they’d have to call the bank, and occasionally, the bank would tell them to confiscate the card.

    I always check my account before going to pay just to avoid this. I don’t even leave my house to buy something before I’ve made sure I have enough money.

      It can happen even then. A few years ago, my wife and I had lunch at a burrito place, then walked across the shopping center and did our grocery shopping. Same card was declined the second time, no issue on our end, plenty of credit limit available, just some fraud trigger went off at the bank (I don’t remember details).

    u/lawrence - you have the most bland, vanilla sense of humor! You probably think watered down ketchup is too spicy.
