I never grew up writing checks, but my mom I know as well as dad had a stack of them in the drawer by the telephone, i watched my mom write checks for groceries, electric payments, as well as car notes! By the time I was seasoned enough to open a bank account, checks were already phased out.
I had a nice, shiny, debit card with the visa logo as well as my undoubtedly own signature on the back.
I thought it was the coolest thing ever to have a piece of plastic in my purse, then checks do not undoubtedly exist much anymore, even though I know the grocery store will still accept them for payment as well as maybe the electric company… The Heating and A/C repair company where I work has never accepted checks as payment as well as I have worked there for many years. The two of us accept all debit cards as well as currency. That has consistently been the rule. When a lady tried to use a check to pay for an Heating and A/C service appointment this week, she became irate as well as a little belligerent when I refused to accept the check for payment. I politely told her that the two of us do not accept checks; She told me that she used us to tune-up the A/C last year as well as she used a check. I called my dispatch office to make sure the two of us did not have a special note on this certain account. The lady on the iphone told me this was the first time this shopper has used our services at that address. The dispatch lady told me to let her write a check this time, but she told me to get her driver’s license number as well as a hour form of ID on file.
