in line at the store behind a guy who's master card wouldn't clear for 70 cents

[kermit da hustla]

goddamn how broke can you get? dude infront of me was buying an orange and a banana and before he even swipes the card the guy tells the cashier "I don't know if this is gonna go through. I might be 3 cents short." So he tries the card and it gets denied, then he digs through his pocket for some change(in the process of this a loose ibuprofen falls out of his pocket and he picks it up off the dirty ass grocery store floor and put it back in his pocket) hands the cashier a nickle and then swipes the card again and it goes through.

shyt had me thinking, what kind of person gets to this point where they know they are 67 cents away from maxing out their credit card and then they go and max it out anyways? some people are just terrible with money i guess. but the thing is i could hear change jingling around in his pocket, he probably had 70 cents on him. So why let the credit card company make interest off you buying a banana and an orange?

bonus points if you can guess the race of this guy

what if he had recently maxed it out investing in a business that will reap him millions in the future. it's happened before. or he maxed it out paying for a much needed operation? or he maxed it out on a student loan? or...or...or..

shyt happens all the time. what kind of snooty a$$hole looks down upon someone for maxing their credit card out? like it isn't a recession out here and most people aren't living check to check.

you coli nikkas need to step into the real world.
