this is ridiculous. checks are useful for people to pay each other in sums larger than cash. i almost never have cash on me (speaking of handing someone paper that represents a value...). i pay rent with checks, therapy and house bills. utilities are paid automatically from my coop's bank account, but normal people don't have credit card processers. the EASIEST thing is to write a check. what do people do elsewhere? log on to Amazon or Paypal and send money to each other with a fee? Use an ATM to get hundreds of dollars and give each other cash? i seroiusly couldn't tell if half the comments here were sarcastic or serious. most of the world is NOT as tech savy as this small niche. i personally don't have a smart phone or sms plan, and soe of the people i live with don't have a personal computer (when they want to finish an experiment after dinner they go back to the lab).
