      I think now a days it’s only a thing with older people. I was at Meijer the other day walking toward the self checkout and I walked past an elderly woman writing a check as she was waiting in a cashiered line.

        Yeah but that lady would have been told “Nope, come back with cash, credit or debit” over here. Heck, I had cashier jobs in the early 2000s and we didn’t accept checks!

      The USA is stuck in 96 because an extreme minority of people still use checks? lol what?

      You know what you’re right. I was using Apple Pay back in 96 to pay for groceries.
