I was just at the grocery and the hold up was this women writing a check. Do you still write checks at places like the grocery store or pharmacy?

i have to for some things but a checkbook lasts me a looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong time these days

lets see this past week:
- landscaper check
- refinance co needed a voided check to attach to documents

so that was a banner week for me

outside of the landscapers and occasional contractor, there's almost no need for them.

Just my ego, for things my body can't cash.

I do for property taxes. TN charges extra if you use a card. I’m not paying a 5% fee on a $2K bill.

There's a need for checks, but we rarely use them.

Just wrote a check to pay the cleaning lady. She doesn't have Venmo.

no, but how sad is it that the Grocery store didn't have a way to print the check - Walmart had that shite available when I was working there in College back end of the 90's

There seems to be two or three occasions each year it is necessary for me to write a check.

Same here, I'll write a check if they have any card fees. I'm not paying any extra, on any amount.

I write one check and it's for my rent. Everything else is paid online.
