Temporary block option useless

I forgot my card at a store sp called in to have it temporarily blocked. The next day, I fetched my card and had ot unblocked. It was confirmed as "being okay to use". Indeed I was able to make purchases. About 2 weeks after, I had to make a withdrawal because I had no more hard cash. The minute I inserted my card, it was swallowed by the ATM. I called the ***** line and I was told it happened because my card is blocked. So what on earth is the point of the "temporary block" option??? Now I have no money and need to wait 7 days for new card.
