Card Declined
The card won't go through — trying again, inserting, paying by phone.
- Them
That'll be six dollars and forty cents.
- You
Sure, let me tap my card.
- Them
Hmm, it says declined. Do you want to try again?
- You
Let me try inserting it instead of tapping.
- Them
Still not going through, I'm afraid.
- You
That's strange. Can I pay with my phone instead?
- Them
Of course. Just tap it right here.
- You
There we go. Sorry about that, and thanks for waiting.
