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.

b/c I wonder if the check is good then why not use a DR card?

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...

Same here no no Credit Cards got dinged once with one,it’s harder for a crook to do checks they don’t like to show ID.

If your debit card was skimmed, I don’t blame you for using checks.
