What are the differences between these ways of saying sorry? Which one is most appropriate for talking to strangers in shops, when your card gets declined, for example? What about when you're saying sorry for something serious?

Saying Sorry When You’ve Done Something WrongVery often, we make major mistakes or we mess up.
Some of these mistakes might be deliberate—that is, done on purpose. (Perhaps you got angry at a coworker, so you took something from their desk.) Some mistakes could be accidents or misunderstandings.
But either way, if the mistake was your fault, you should own up to it (accept responsibility) and apologize.
I’m so sorry. I was incorrect.
I apologize for my mistake. I should have been paying more attention.
That was wrong of me. I promise I will never do it again.
I messed up and I’m sorry. I will try to do better next time.
