Fogell	Check Writing Rant		Lead	[-]
Posts: 502 Jun 28, 2008 8:04 AM Pop Culture Moron	Tags : None Can we please put a stop to writing checks in check-out lines. It's fucking 2008 you old farts. I know you think I have nothing better to do on a Saturday morning (and you might be right), but anything is better than watching your ass slowly make out that check. It's rude. Furthermore, if you are going to write a check, please refrain from making chit chat with the cashier. You may think it's courteous to her, but the ten people behind you in line hate your fucking guts right now. And trust me, the 18 year old cashier is just being polite. She doesn't give a shit what you have to say either. I know this is the South, and that things tend to move slower around here. But for the love of G.A.Y., get a debit card. I'm pretty sure they mailed you one. That is all. "Polk's professional accomplishments far outweigh Vaught's." - Dan Tannah, alleged Ole Miss fan Last Edited By: Fogell Jun 28, 2008 8:52 AM.

Plus, I can buy shit on saturday even if I don't get paid til Monday. Not true with a debit card. That said, I rarely write checks. I do always carry my checkbook just out of habit I guess.

Posts: 503 Jun 28, 2008 8:35 AM Pop Culture Moron	I think not. Edit: Also, I'm pretty sure debit card transactions won't run through your account until Monday too. Edit Again: Also, aren't you like 30? Shouldn't your days of living paycheck to paycheck be in your past.

Optimus Prime 4	yes they do, debit cards get rejected if you don't have the funds. Checks are great at bars	#6	[url]	[-]
Posts: 6926 Jun 28, 2008 8:42 AM Shogun of Harlem	Yes, seventeen seconds max. All I write is the amount. I fill everything else out while they're ringing it up. Bars where I know the bartender are perfect too. I just tell them to give themselves a good tip, and I don't have to worry about closing the tab.

Posts: 521 Jun 28, 2008 8:49 AM Registered Member	Dude, seriously...a whopping 30 extra seconds out of your life ain't gonna kill you. And a lot of those "old farts" don't use debit cards because they're afraid they will forget their PIN number. So which would you rather have: 1. 30 extra seconds while you PATIENTLY waited for someone to write a check? OR 2. An extra God-only-knows-how-long while you watch someone stare vacantly into space and mutter to themselves "now what on earth IS that number!"?

Charge everything all month long, earn a shit ton of points/cash back/rewards, then write one big check at the end of the month and pay it off. It takes discipline, and you have to watch cash expenditures for things like sporting events, concerts and shit. But it maintains good credit ratings and earns you a little back in the process.

For debit card transactions below a certain amount you don't even have to enter a pin number. Check writers at grocery stores are the worst. I also don't like people who pay with exact change.

Posts: 1490 Jun 28, 2008 9:44 AM Registered Member	What I love is they sit there 10 fucking minutes watching them check out every fucking item, THEN, dig around in their purse for the checkbook, ask three times for the fucking amount, then remember they have a fucking 10 cent coupon off the Campbell's low sodium soup. They should have one special lane for assholes that write checks. Light speed is too slow? Yes. We're gonna have go right to... ludicrous speed.

Posts: 507 Jun 28, 2008 10:45 AM Pop Culture Moron	See, it is rude. They should know to have the fucking thing halfway filled out before the cashier has even rung them up. THEN, it might actually only take 17 seconds. However, by my estimation, it usually takes 3-5 minutes. It may not sound like alot, but when that wait could have been avoided....

Posts: 6929 Jun 28, 2008 10:59 AM Shogun of Harlem	I am actually trying to consciously not get irritated by little things, and just chill more. It's making life a hell of a lot more pleasant to be honest. I realized that I would get angry, yet it wasn't like I really had somewhere to be. I wanted to hurry just to hurry.

Posts: 4382 Jun 28, 2008 11:39 AM	These old farts that write checks don't fill any damn thing before they get to the register. Someone who can write a check in 20 seconds isn't a bother. But those folks who have to put their faces 3 inches from the check and then take forever to write it in their shaky handwriting are an annoyance. And no, I don't hate old people. I loved my grandparents and I love my parents. Hell, I'll be old someday. But I get greatly annoyed when old and/or slow people write checks or drive in front of me.

Posts: 24 Jun 28, 2008 11:53 AM	keeps getting distracted when writing my check at glacial speed by the young turks in line behind me talking on their Blutooth to their brahs and bros....Those profanity laden conversations are much, much more interesting than timely production of a check. See ya on the highway!

Posts: 280 Jun 28, 2008 7:39 PM	I was balancing the checkbook and paying some bills online and my wife had gone to Target. Once I was done, I went back to the account page and there it was, in all its glory. I called her and she said she'd just left the parking lot. Of course it was listed as a "pending transaction" but the amount had been subtracted from the available balance.
