The last of my energy was a real waste. Push-carting is never fun when you’re hungry and tired from all day’s work. Worst is when you found out that you have no more cash left in your pocket (because you dont carry a wallet) and your only savior is that only card which grants you access to an imaginary banker. Okay, so then I paid with my card only to find out that the cashier declined my transaction. “Offline, sir.”

I tried to withdraw cash from the nearby machine. I thought that it was the better solution but later I knew, another misfortune was in front of me. No cash was released but I got debited for two grand. *Inserts favorite swearing word here*

 I realized bringing cards (be it credit or debit cards) sometimes is a pain in the ass. We are so believing about the banks’ hassle-free-shopping ads, their network of ATM machines across the country and their interconnective transactions from other banks. Well, there is always a con to everything and in banking cases: being offline.
