Does Anyone Accept Checks Anymore?

Dell facer
It seems that no buddy really wants to accept them any more. If you have a Visa thats OK if you have a Master card Thats OK, American Express Thats fine we would Love you as our customer, What about the person that dose not have a credit card?

Dose he or she have to always carry CASH? Do they have to run to the bank or ATM to be accepted as a customer? I think that the whole system is getting out of control when we can not accept a customer that may be poor or have had a few set backs with there credit and finances and don't have a credit card to pay for there items.

We all need to put ourselves in there position and look at things a little bit closer before we pass judgment on these people. In Utah ( thats where i live) I recently read an article on personal checks it stated that banks get on average 30,000 bad checks a month and that most young people don't even use cash hardly at all and none use personal checks.

So it's no wonder that checks are getting a BAD RAP. What if in the future there was a Catastrophic Disaster and all the worlds Internet grids went down and all the power was also gone, maybe just in America OR just in your state What would happen to the credit card machines? ( they would be useless.) What would you do to pay for items that you need ?

Remember there are no working ATM's no credit card machines It's something to think about before we totally send the good old check book out to pasture and to extinction, checks are a necessary evil no matter how you look at it. Another question how would the young people survive under these tough conditions? Most do not know how to even keep track and balance a check book .

I hope that the school systems are still teaching the basics of how to write checks keep track of what they are spending and balancing a check book for the sake of our children. They are the future of this world lets help them any way we can.

    I counted 37 grammatical, spelling, and punctuation errors in this 5 paragraph "article". You should be more concerned with the way school systems teach English in Utah than the finer points of check writing.
