Is this still a thing? I worked at a grocery store about 10 years ago, and towards the end of my tenure, they stopped taking checks. I'd imagine other chains did too. I haven't seen anyone write one while I've been in a checkout line in forever.
I worked at AutoZone 7 years ago, we had a scanner thing that'd just read the check numbers on the bottom and run it like a debit card without a pin.
I'd tell people to not fill out the check, cause it doesn't matter at all, it didn't read it, and I give the check right back anyway, it could even be used again if the dorks would stop filling them out for no reason.
Even after all my telling them before and while they filled them out, they'd be in such disbelief when I returned their check after 3 seconds. Some would even be angry for them wasting time filling it out when it didn't even matter. Like guy I told you multiple times, how could anyone get upset at me for that.
I worked at an Albertsons a couple years back for a summer and we still took checks. And there were definitely people who used them, although more often I think it was people who were using some kind of unemployment or other social programs. But yeah whenever it wasn't a check like that it was an older person who would write the check out once they saw the total.
