I haven’t used a check in over 10 years.
I get suspicious when I see one at the grocery store.
If I was a retailer, I wouldn’t accept checks either. Sorry folks, times change.
We use Checks and 99% of the time those are electronically cleared at the register.
Why would one be “suspicious” at the Grocery Store because of a check?
We have no Credit Cards and our Debit Card was skimmed - no problem with that with Checking/Cash so far.
