Standard Chartered Bank Qatar - a BIG NO NO..

I've been disappointed by Standard Chartered Bank for several times. The worst disappointment was when my ATM CARD rejected by cashier when I want to buy something. It happened twice in a month. I had sufficient balance but the "message" appeared on the slip is DECLINED. I was so humiliated.
I've never used to carry lots of cash in my purse since ATM card can be used as method of payment. At the first rejection, call center agent told me that their system was down. Luckily I had just enough money to pay. On the second rejection, the call center agent advice me to keep on trying, she said she experienced same thing and succeed on the third attempt, whatta??
I have no idea what should i do about this bank since my salary is transferred there and it is mandatory to have an account there. Am I the only one who experience this??

ATM card has been declined ...ATM card has been declined NOT because of the Bank issue! because the machines in the stores are not properly working! It has JUST happened with me in Dubai.. They tried two machines, it didn't work.. finally the third one accepted my credit card.. it was very embarrassed, but the shift manager apologized and said, this is the machine's issue.. has nothing to do with your card or your bank..

If it's the machine problem, why when I use my husband ATM card, QNB, it worked out fine. On the third attempt I tried to use my ATM again, in the same machine, with less amount. It worked. One of annoying thing came from the cashier, saying "O.. it works because the amount is less"...???
