    I think now a days it’s only a thing with older people. I was at Meijer the other day walking toward the self checkout and I walked past an elderly woman writing a check as she was waiting in a cashiered line.

      Yeah but that lady would have been told “Nope, come back with cash, credit or debit” over here. Heck, I had cashier jobs in the early 2000s and we didn’t accept checks!

        Two of my local utilities ONLY accept paper checks via US mail.

        I thought I was going to have to order a god damn check book just for these dinosaurs until I found out my bank had a paper check option for automated bill pay.

        Rural US is a trip.
