>>Why would one be “suspicious” at the Grocery Store because of a check?<<
b/c I wonder if the check is good then why not use a DR card?
>>We have no Credit Cards and our Debit Card was skimmed - no problem with that with Checking/Cash so far.<<
The days of not having some sort of plastic are all but over. The manual process of handling a check is a massive hassle that adds little value to the retailer.
Your DR card was hacked? You are supposed to be insured. No reason to stop using one.
I know “A Christmas Carol” is super popular these days, but we really are past the technology of Scrooge and Marley...
“Your DR card was hacked? You are supposed to be insured. No reason to stop using one.”
Of course we are insured. All we had to do was prove we were not in Burma during a 18 minute period around Midnight in which our account was siphoned off in $15 increments every 90 seconds. Thankfully our Bank “Cancelled” our Debit Card.
In spite of providing a Certified Passport Image showing no such Entry or Leaving of the U.S. to Burma, verbal discussion with Branch Manager, etc. - We were invited to contact the Burmese Officials to discuss returning our money.
You would be very surprised how much your Debit Card is not covered.
Scrooge and Marley aside - when a government can create Trillions of Electronic Dollars such can also be removed by those who chose to.
I have a question. How do you get cash?
I’m serious about this question as I would like to get away from credit cards in resturants when I can’t hold the card.
