So you're one of the ones holding up those supermarket lines with those infernal checks! I can't believe people still bring checkbooks to the supermarket. Why? It takes five seconds to swipe an ATM card and the money comes out of the same account without you backing up the supermarket line into the produce section while the cashier is checking your name against the "bad check" list and all those other time-consuming tasks associated with processing a check. C'mon, it's the 21st Century - get with it.

I lost my debit/credit card a week ago. The new one hasn't been sent to me yet. Therefore, I need to write a check at the grocery store...and I get cash back. I've written a couple of checks to Kroger last week, asking for a total of $40.00 back, and I didn't have a problem. I will admit, I miss my debit card though. One cool thing about using the debit card to get cash back at the grocery store is that I don't have to pay that infernal 1.75 fee that most ATM's charge.
