Who still writes checks these days I mean come on?

Post by holaback »

Outside of a few things that still need to be paid via check who really needs a check book these days let alone write a check. Most bills can be paid via. bank card etc. Why do i see people bust out their check books at the grocery store i mean come on.

No - the question was 'who still writes checks' - whilst you, Niode, may write Cheques, Holaback seems to want to know who writes 'checks'...

Well... holaback, not me... I'm not sure if I ever did...

We still write a check for rent and maybe Costco because they dont take credit cards.

Every other bill is either paid via a recurring check card charge or electronic check. I remember when we would write a bunch before the online banking/payments took off.

well since my landlords don't exactly have a debit card scanner, I use checks on them.

I use checks for bills. Also, I think it's interesting that all the guys from the UK and Canada spell it 'cheque' while the Americans spell it 'check.'
