Paychecks... As a European I'm always suprised about how primitive the US financial system is.
- Panino 9y agoI don't know any businesses that use paychecks in the US, though surely they exist - it's a big country. Be careful about how quick you are to judge an entire country based on what you read online, ok? (My company with a rural office does automatic deposit.) When I worked in France we didn't have toilet seats. When I asked someone why not, they said the toilet seats would get stolen. They looked at me like I had just asked a really stupid question, like obviously people want to steal toilet seats. Even though theft was rampant (my coworker's comically shitty bike was stolen, and people warned me that anything not nailed down would disappear), I tried not to judge all of Europe based on this personal experience.
