<prompt> Human: Im on vacation with my dad and brothers. We ate at a McDonalds for breakfast on the way to the beach this morning. We used the self service kiosk. It took like 60 seconds for the purchase to go through, which seemed weird.Got to the beach, and stopped at a Subway for lunch. Card declined.We called the bank, and apparently the McDonalds has tried to charge my dads card hundreds of times for the same purchase. Were at the beach now, and totally stranded because we have no money. We called the McDonalds to try and get them to restart their self service kiosk, but of course, nobody there had any idea what the fuck we were talking about.So were stuck 3 hours away from home with no idea what to do.Edit: the issue has been resolved and the card is working!! Thanks for all your advice!Edit 2: I know, we should have had more than a single debit card. My dads 56 and probably not going to change his ways because some guy on Reddit told him to. That being said, Ill definitely take note of your advice for my own personal finances once Im a bit older.  <response>: Can you get to bank branch? They should be able to at least give you a few hundred as an emergency advance on your account until the sort this out. If they cant, consider another bank. Western Union is a last resort, but fast and would get you home if someone can wire you some cash.
