Was in another country and locked out of my credit cards

Is there anything I could have done by escalating in this scenario to have unlocked my account in hindsight?

I called in advance and proactively said I was going to be using my cards in the US between so and so dates.

I bought a juice at a convenience store, then wanted to go to a show, when I was buying the ticket the card was declined.

I called TD and was asked for my security question, which was when was my bank account was created. I was told I gave the wrong answer. I was locked out I was supposed to visit a TD branch, nothing else they could do. I said can I authenticate with other info, no sorry you need to visit brick and mortar location in Canada.

When I was back in Canada, I contacted the front desk and they looked up that the answer was 1985, yet I was born in the 1990s. I was given a verbal apology by the front desk and soon after closed my account.

Thank God I didn't travel alone.

Why is everything sold in 50 cent increments now?

Almost the entire store from the toys to the fruit is sold this way in my location in Richmond Hill. The lemons are 1.50 each, the Lego velocirator trilogy sets are an even 40.00. This seems very odd, nothing is being sold for amounts between 50 cents which makes me think they're nickle and diming us. There's no normal prices like 3.12 or 17.22 it's kinda creepy... Especially with the fruit / vegetables.

For example, there's only items priced by 50 cents, 1.00 1.50 2.00 2.50 up to 60. There's no items that end in 25 cents (or 10 20 30 40 60 70 80 90 for that matter).
