I remember seeing my mother writing a check once. It must have been in the late eighties. I'm quite confident that nobody I know of my age has ever written check. That check floating is still a thing is quite amazing to consider.
- whyaduck 7y agoI saw someone write a check at a supermarket just a couple of weeks ago. I think it's the first time I've seen a checkbook in the wild in 5 or 10 years.
- lanstin 7y agoMy landlord four years ago set things up so that the cheapest and lowest-latency way to pay rent was to walk to his bank and deposit a check into his account. Kind of weird. Sometimes I have weird professional things I pay for that need checks (tax attorney, and some real estate stuff). Fortunately, my credit union will print 3 checks if I walk by and ask nicely. And they have Saturday hours.
- mruts 7y agoI’ve always payed rent in cash. Landlords seem to like it more than checks.
- segmondy 7y agoI write checks. I like writing checks and I like cash. Online payments feel impersonal and doesn't hurt as much as the physical action of writing a check and cash. I'm more frugal when I spend cash. If I write a check for a large amount it physically hurts and causes me to try to figure out a way to eliminate or reduce the cause of such a large amount.
