Are checks still common. I think its an old American hangover like fear of the metric system. Checks are so 19th century.

Here in Chicago I do not find them common. But they are prevalent in Illinois small towns for some reason. I guess it goes to a stereotype of rural folks not liking “change” too much.

I use a credit card to pay at the grocery store.

I would use a credit card to pay my utility bills and my mortgage but thos b*st*rds won't take it.

They want authorization to draw directly on my bank account, which they won't ever get while my lungs contain air.

So I pay all my monthly bills by check.
