Misc Checks

bango · 07-03-2010, 11:21 AM

Do you still use checks to pay for most of your purchases? If you do, why do you do that? I can see using them to pay bills that are mailed, but any other type of purchase is inconsiderate. You can always use cash, a debit card, or credit if it applies to the situation. I am sorry if this is a repost.

Nope. Do all online banking and use a debit card. No postage, no cost of checks, very efficient.

Do you still use VHS tapes to watch videos? Why? You idiot.

There are some cases where I still use checks, yes.

i don't have a debit card.

i use a credit card maybe once or twice a year.

the wife pays most of the bills online, and uses her debit card for most purchases.

i write 2 checks a week for gas and cash(monday and friday). each time, i write the check out before going in the store. all i have to do is write the amount on it. it's the same store all the time. right on the way from work. the owner doesn't complain, and if someone behind me does, they can f@ck themself.

works for me.

I use them for bills that I have to mail, to pay my lawn guy if I don't have cash, and when I make large purchases.

Inconsiderate?

I'm guessing he's referring to the asswipes who hold up the grocery line while writing checks.

Probably, but it's pretty funny to get too worried about the manner in which other people spend their money.

Oh noez111 I waited an additional minute1111

Well, it is pretty frustrating when it's busy as hell, and some blue hair gets their total and then acts like they just had the revelation that they have to pay for their shit and start digging for their checkbook and then carefully write out the check even putting something in the memo line and then also has to detail all the information in the ledger before finally handing over the check to the cashier.

I was behind one of these at the grocery store about a week ago. She might as well started raking a fork across a chalkboard.

I generally choose a check out line with more mobile customers, check or no check.
