    I have no idea how that works. It's 2019. Last check I cashed was probably in 2004 when my grandparents stopped sending me birthday money

    99% of the people around here still use checks since it's a farm community. YOU CAN'T TRACK YOUR PURCHASES ANY OTHER WAY DON'T YOU KNOW THAT. GOTTA STICK IT TO UNCLE SAM WITH THOSE DEDUCTIONS!

    That's not even what takes the longest with checks, waiting for them to dig out their licenses for the cashier is. JUST having the driver's license number printed on the check already makes it SO much faster even if they have to fill everything else out.

    :emoji_thinking:

    Ok the preceding discussion definitely has an exemption for birthday money. Just for the nostalgia of that fat check falling out of the birthday card feeling :emoji_sweat_smile:

    I mean business checks makes sense.

    Using a personal checking account for groceries doesn't.

    You gotta track that to. Cause you never know when going through checks for days will save you that .50.
