      Yeah for every day use theres no point in using checks. Only the elderly use them every where. When I was a cashier it was very obnoxious

        Not for everyday use, but for large purchases, some places will require them to avoid the card processing fees or pass the fees to you.

        For instance, when I paid tuition at college, it was an extra 3.5% if I paid with a card, so it was a couple hundred bucks cheaper to pay with a check.

      Zero points for me. I once wrote a cheque to pay my outstanding fee at my local video rental place (I was returning Time Cop) And then later I got home and sent my father a fax of younger brother’s foot and shoe size so he could buy some shoes for him while abroad on a business trip. I specifically remember that day because I rented Four Weddings and a Funeral which had just come out on VHS. This was probably 1994 or 1995. Now I feel old as fuck.
