What kills me is when I’m behind an old person attempting to use a check like it’s 1989. I haven’t been to a grocery store that accepts checks in the past decade, I just don’t understand why they think it will suddenly change back to how it was, and they always act angry and confused when stores don’t accept their checks even though like I said I haven’t seen a store that accepts checks in the past decade
Holy shit, cheques (as we spell it in the UK). I’d not seen one in decades, my bank stopped issueing chequebooks more than 20 years ago but they’ll still print a one-off cheque for you if you ask. Then I spent some time in France and they still use the goddamn things and it is an absolute ordeal - I swear they spend two solid minutes passing the thing back and forth between the customer and cashier, taking turns to make little amendments. I understand that in France a cheque has a lot more legal clout than in the UK.

I haven’t seen a single grocery store that doesn’t accept checks. Still a thing here in western Washington.
