Why do so many women use personal checks everytime they buy something?

Question

Using a credit card is much faster and doesn't hold up the line.

Answer 1

Checks should be BANNED. If you want to use your cash, pay cash or debit card!! That's what they are for. It's not 1985.

Answer 2

They use checks because the stores accept them. I think they are just comforable and used to writing checks that it's no big deal to them. Approach them about using a debit/credit card so the funds come directly from the bank account like a check does.

Answer 3

Because they are afraid to switch to debit cards.

I used to manage a store that did not take checks. Those soccer moms got so mad when I said we couldn't take their check! Like it was meant as a personal insult or something! I always kind of thought, "Uh, hello? It's the 21st century! Nobody takes checks anymore!"

Answer 4

What a sexist question. I'm a woman and don't even own a checkbook, I've always used a credit card.
Hopefully the reason the women you know do it is just to annoy you!

Answer 5

because they don't carry money because the big bad men will take it from them,and if they use credit card that will be to quick and they want to piss off the men that are in line.

Answer 6

One advantage is that there's a one- or two-day grace period before the money is charged to the checking account; perhaps they're buying some time before they can make a deposit.

Answer 7

I don't use personal checks at all. They just want to be in debt.

Answer 8

I only use checks to pay some of my bills... I don't know who you are talking about.

Answer 9

Because they are smarter than you.
