I've seen plenty of people get their cards denied, often they know why. They just keep trying to spend money. The young person in that video needs to go home and make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. She doesn't need to be buying lunch at the food court.
I've had mine denied once, because of fraudulent activity that caused the CC company to freeze our account. Very embarrassing, but I just used another card. I wonder if the cashier thought I was some overspending twit juggling various cards who shouldn't be buying anything.

I don't know. You could always ask the cashier what they think.
It's not the credit card, it's the bad behavior. Houston malls and businesses have been getting a reputation for being unsafe places to shop because of general bad behavior, car break-ins and sex trafficking. People who don't have to shop there won't. Other places that have generally been considered safe are seeing more crime. IMO, it's because the criminals consider it less confrontational.
Bad behavior happens everywhere there are people. Even in suburbs people have had bad behavior since day one. Suburb dwellers are saints? Why did you connect this incident with alleged rising crime in the suburbs? That makes no sense.
So you are asking for more details so you can be a victim of an answer you probably won't like.
Real smart.
No, I was asking for an elaboration. What does "typical" mean in this context? It's an open forum -- for discussion. If there's a random unfinished comment in a thread I'm participating in, shouldn't I want to know what the hell is meant by it?
Why would that make me a "victim?"
You know, if you have nothing intelligent to add, sometimes it's best to just stay quiet.
I get your point but still, people can think whatever they want to. They might even think it's irresponsible to use a credit card at all.
Sure, if there is irresponsible spending involved. But not if you pay it off every month and collect rewards.
