A customer at a St. Louis gas station was so angry when her credit card was declined that she summoned her boyfriend, who shot the clerk, police say.

 

The clerk was behind the counter when a woman tried to make a purchase, but her credit card was turned down.

 

She got into a dispute with the male clerk and said she was going to get her boyfriend, police said. A few minutes later, a man walked into the store with a gun and fired one shot at the clerk, hitting him in the abdomen.

Why not call the CC company and find out why it was declined? At least that's what any normal person would have done (or used another card till they got home to call)

That's what I was thinking but ...

I can just see this one play out in my head. I'm sure the type of woman who would go and get her boyfriend, and the type of woman who has a boyfriend who would do this, is the exact type of woman to have impeccable credit and judgment.

Maybe it was a stolen card. Sounds like that sort of person.
