AirwickWithCheese Posted August 22, 2017 Share #1 Posted August 22, 2017 Reordering checks from the bank Upgrading to personalized checks. Warnings about service charges for returned checks. That pullout writing desk at the grocery store. Writing the reason on the bottom left side. Buying just the write pen to really emphasise you were a check writing mogul. Prescreened no hassle acceptance cards from your favorite stores. Those were good days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsharr ★ Posted August 22, 2017 Share #2 Posted August 22, 2017 I still write a ton of checks, but only for work. Have written about 400 year to date. Makes accounting easier when you have an invoice and a check to match up instead of trying to match auto debits up. Anything under $500 will pay online, but bigger expenses I prefer to cut a check. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parsnip Totin Jack ★ Posted August 22, 2017 Share #13 Posted August 22, 2017 Don't we all yearn for the days at the grocery store where the customer waits until ALL her items are rung up and then rummages through a handbag the size of a small suitcase to extract the checkbook! The check writing process begins with a pen that doesn't write all that well. After the check has been prepared and recorded in the check register, the sales clerk, requires a drivers license and a second form of identification. Store policy for the acceptance of a "promise to pay" device requires recording the drivers license number and a phone number of the customer in the event the check is returned for non-sufficient funds. What great times were those days. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisL Posted August 22, 2017 Share #30 Posted August 22, 2017 Check writing will be a lost art in 15 years. I hired dozens of folks under 25 each month with my last job and very few have checks. We need their bank info for Direct Deposit and the old convention is to give us a voided check. Well with no checks they have to get a DD letter from their bank instead. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
