Why on earth would ANYONE write a check at the supermarket?

Question

That should be grounds for public flogging!

Answer 1

I write a check. I never know how much I'll spend. I don't carry hundreds of dollars around in cash.

Answer 2

I'm with you. So should letting women go to supermarkets. For something they allegedly do every week, they never get the hang of it. they are disorganised, never have a list, can't pack whilst the goods are coming through, never know where their purse is, can't park a trolley.

While do people standing in the deli queue never decide what they want until they are served? They wait for 5 minutes, then get served and say "Ooh, what shall I have?"

I tell you, on Friday, I just sooo wanted a shotgun.

Edit.

From the answers above, do none of you have debit cards?

Answer 3

That is a good question. In today's society no one should be slowing down other people by making them wait while they write a check. If they insist on using checks they should have everything filled out except the amount before they get to the cashier.

Answer 4

I never carry cash as it is easy to keep up with a checkbook. I fill out my check before hand except for amount,so I don't slow down the line.

Answer 5

I write a check because I can track my expenses that way. I write down in the book what it's for, when and what I bought. It helps me budget better. Sorry if I inconvience YOU but, I have to do what is best for my family. So learn to deal with it. Some of us are not in a hurry because we know how to live.

Answer 6

I didn't think people wrote checks anymore! :) Whenever I go to the store, most folks use credit cards/debit cards. Very, very few pay with cash, or check.

Answer 7

there are times when you don't have any cash and may have to write a check.I use a check card.

Answer 8

Yes, along with the SCREAMING BABY SYNDROME. When the mom "ignores" it??? Forget the baby, it's a baby. SLAP the mother!!!!

Answer 9

Perhaps to pay for a purchase------------Duh!
