TIFU by keep asking Shake Shack for a refund

Last week, I ordered shake shack and picked up the food without knowing they messed up my order (wrong fries). So, the other day, I went back with the receipt and talked to the manager about it. Due to some unfortunate events, they only do pick-up on that day. The manager then asked me to order the fries via app (UberEats) and he will process the refund, which should go back to my account within a week. If not, I can come back and ask for him. I said ok, although I didn't even want fries that day but sure. The manager was friendly and helpful. I was happy lol

I waited for over a week, but the refund never came. I know the $$ was small, but I'm pretty broke and live close to the store. So, I went back and looked for the manager. He said he was surprised the refund didn't show up and asked if he can get me anything today to make me happy. I was like umm not really. He then said he can give me the refund now at the cashier. He punched in the fries, asked me to swipe my card, then gave me the receipt saying refund for 1 order of fries. He said the refund should reflect on my account now and I might even get two refunds. Somehow, I thought I'll be getting another fries today (since he gave me the receipt and put in the fries order). So, I sat down and awkwardly waited near the cashier, which was quite busy. After 15 minutes, I realized that maybe I misunderstood. So, I went back to him again and told him I'm confused about whether I was supposed to get fries today (?). He was like "oh do you want fries? I can get you fries." LOL

I was so embarrassed about the situation. A few minutes later, I walked out of the store with fries. However, I checked my bank account and I did not see any transaction today. It was like the transaction didn't happen. Did I misunderstand the process? If I didn't go up and asked for the fries, I was probably back to square one of not getting any refund. If anyone has any insights on this, feel free to comment.

Before this, I thought I did the right thing, but now I'm just confused and embarrassed. The manager was awesome. I probably won't go back to that Shake Shack ever.

TL;DR - Went back to Shake Shack twice to ask for a refund for fries. Might misunderstand what the manager said and wait for the fries that never came. Had to go back and embarrassingly ask for the fries out of confusion.

TIFU by forgetting my purse and attempting to get fuel

Not the craziest story but hey. I'm obligated to say this was a few months ago but I cringe every time I go past the petrol station . My petrol was getting low, not dangerously so but it said 27 miles left, (oftentimes it then suddenly drops to about 16 for example, and then 5 and then 0 very fast) I didnt have my purse on me as I just didn't need it... Picked my daughter up from school and then went on to collect my 2 stepdaughters from across town and then set off for home. En route the gauge went to 7 and then suddenly it was 1 so I stopped at the petrol station near our house. The petrol was on 0 as i pulled up to the pump and that's when I realised I had no money. I left the kids in the car at the pump and went in to talk to the cashier, it wasn't mega busy but there was a queue, I'd heard that they can help you if you can't pay for fuel. Like keeping something of yours as security. It was an elderly man and he basically refused to help. At this point i...

TIFU - Don’t do what I did

On Sunday morning Aug. 24th, I awoke to discover a large blind spot in my right eye, which turned out to be what is called wet age-related macular degeneration (AMD). It has resulted in a very significant, permanent loss of vision in that eye. Although I maintain good peripheral vision, whatever I focus on at best is very blurry, and mostly disappears. I can barely make out the large E at the top of the eye chart. If this happens to my left eye I’ll be unable to read or drive. It turns out that I missed the opportunity that I had to prevent this from becoming a serious problem because I failed to report what appeared to be minor changes in my vision. In the weeks prior to August I had noticed that what I knew to be straight lines appeared to my right eye to have a little waviness. I also noticed that the color of my front lawn, which I could see through the window from my recliner,  was subdued, looked almost gray, in my right eye. So I scheduled an eye exam, which revealed the p...

TIFU by getting suspended for 2 days by my front office in school.

I (13M) am an African American student at Jeannette junior high who had got suspended for 2 days here. I was in math class minding my business until my teacher had told me to go to the main office, which posed no problem to me. As i went down there, the people of the front office had stopped me and made me get a new ID (yes, we have id's.) so i had asked them if i could maybe do a different alternative and call my mother to let her bring the Id here, even then, the Id isn't that important. So, although i was talking to them in a calm manner and not showing any signs of rebellion, they had threatened to call the police on me without thinking twice before calling my parents. This is where i started getting angry, and even then now the black peers agree that could have been a racially motivated action. They then told me to sit in the office conference room because of that, leading into more anger. They had then called my mother who had came over to the school didn't even let ...
