Dog Paw Bracelet

I’m sure that there are many times I’ve asked stupid questions but recently there’s a big one. The question wasn’t necessarily stupid, but the outcome was extremely embarrassing. It shouldn’t of been that embarrassing but for some odd reason it embarrasses me to even talk about it. But truthfully I don’t believe there are any stupid questions. As cheesy as it sounds you may be asking something that someone else may be wondering or wanting to ask. It may end up being embarrassing on your end, but it doesn’t mean the question was stupid. Everyone should be able to ask and wonder without being made to feel stupid.
Anyways, yesterday I was at a small corner store getting breakfast with my sister. I had already cashed out and I was standing by the register while my sister was cashing out. While standing by the register I say this cute little bracelet for sale. It had a paw print on it and my sister loves dogs so I figured it’d be a nice little gift to get her. It wasn’t expensive or anything, only $10. Once my sister was done cashing out, I stepped up and put the bracelet up on the counter, asking the lady if I could buy it. She proceeded to ask me if I had cash because the bracelet isn’t technically sold by the store. They are selling it for someone else so they can only be bought with cash. I had had $10 exactly in cash on me before I cashed out the first time but I used it for my breakfast. Therefore, at this point I only had my card on me. Keep in mind my sister was sitting there watching me the entire time. I had to tell the lady I didn’t have cash, just card and she then informed me I couldn’t buy it then. Awkwardly I said it was alright and put it back. I was mortified. There were people behind me in line watching as I was heavily embarrassed. I apologized to my sister even though I didn’t have an actual reason to. It was just so mortifying.
I felt so embarrassed which I shouldn’t because it’s not embarrassing that I’m like the majority of the world now who only caries cards now. I didn’t want people to think I was trying to buy something I couldn’t afford because I most definitely could’ve but just not with cash. Still typing this makes me shake with embarrassment. There is no reason that I should be embarrassed, but because I was afraid what people would think of me it was. It was in no way a stupid question or stupid reason to not be able to buy it, but for some reason it was so scary. I do agree that there are no stupid questions, but some people’s reactions(including your own) can make it feel stupid.
