Card rejected but payment taken

Hi...what do I do about this,
on sunday I bought some bits from somerfield that cost about £20, at the check out my debit card wouldn't work so I had to go to the cash piont to complete the sale, I then paid cash but I've just looked at my balance and its showing the payment going out at the supermarket, I didn't get a reciept of the card payment so I'm not sure what i can do about it but I'm pretty pist of that £20 worth of shopping as cost me £40:mad:

    Is the transaction showing as debited or is the available balance just reduced?

    It may right itself the next day. Not much consolation if you've been thrown into the red.
