The people who DO write checks, it’s funny how they don’t write anything until they know the amount...uh, is the date, or name of the store gonna change in that time?!?
I’ve never seen a man write a check for groceries. It’s always older women. Same goes for coupons.
That's a HUGE gripe of mine. It is right there with the ones who keep their purse closed until they get the full run of scans and then have to find the debit card they were always planning to use. I can't imagine what people have going through their mind that makes them function as if they are half conscious.
Another one is the people who get done pumping gas, get back in their car ...and then sit there seemingly unable to start the freaking car and move the hell out of the lane. What could they possibly be doing? Women seem to be the worst at this. Do they need to rearrange their purse, straighten out the glove box and balance their checkbook before they can turn the damn key ...or are they just so self absorbed that no one else matters?
Not me! I write checks because mine have big cats on them, which I like, and I'm going to use those babies until checks become a thing of the past.
I fill everything out---except for the amount---before I get in line. My transactions are completed more quickly than those where the person is fumbling with their debit card ("Which button do I press? Uh...which one, again? Can you show me? Oops, hit the wrong one...now what do I do?")
In most cases, though, I don't have to fill out anything. I just hand them the check, they print the amount on it, and that's it.
