0:00 My card declined at the supermarket with a
0:02 full trolley and a queue behind me.
0:04 Not a small amount either.
0:06 The cashier tried it three times while I did
0:08 that awful thing of pretending it was funny.
0:11 A man behind me, maybe sixty,
0:14 reached past and tapped his own card without
0:16 saying anything to me at all.
0:18 He spoke to the cashier instead:
0:20 put it through, we're holding people up.
0:22 I asked for his number so I could pay him
0:25 back and he said no,
0:26 quite firmly, and then, almost annoyed:
0:29 someone did it for me in nineteen
0:31 eighty-four.
0:32 Just carry it forward.
0:34 That's the whole conversation.
0:37 I never saw him again.
