I miss paying by check
trippah:
One of the less known or appreciated aspects of direct deposit was showcased (by mistake) in the December direct deposit pay for a local school system. apparently the code was a bit off and they deducted from everyone's banking account the amount of their pay rather than crediting the accounts. It was quite a red faced Santa when everyone lost two months of pay just as they hit the stores for Xmas shopping. New may not always be better. ;D

We still use checks for utility bills. Too many of them want to eliminate the paper statements when the go electronic. Sorry, when I am standing in front of them pointing out their obvious error, I want printed documentation showing them their problem.

Don't use checks for anything any more except church and other donations.
Everything else is automatic deductions, automatic bill-pay from the account, direct debit, or Paypal. Insurance bills, taxes, utilities, everything just comes straight out of the account. I won't even stop in a gas station that doesn't have pay-at-the-pump. Hate standing in line behind all the ticket-scratchers trying to give them my money .... !

You pay Joe Eish by check. ;-T He ships your parts along with the bill. By todays standards, about as old fashion as you can get. And trusting your customers to pay. Now that is old fashion. :BEER: Matt

Using checks is pretty much like having a points plate (Guzzi content) when you have a Dyna system on your older bike....
You never know when you need one.
Happy New Year!
