[Brooks_]

Learned how to at one of my jobs a few days ago

They couldn't just give you a P card?

 

[JacinLarkwell]

They couldn't just give you a P card?

A what?

We sell gift certificates, and we fill them out to look like checks, so they had to show me how to fill one out since we don't learn how to do checks in school anymore

Oh.

A P (purchase) card is a credit card in your name, but the company pays the bill.

 

[JacinLarkwell]

Oh.

Oh. I don't work anywhere big enough to use those

 

[bill3607]

I used to make fake checks out of paper

Um uh, and did you get busted and do time?

 

[bill3607]

I can certainly write a check. Learned to do that as a kid. I pay most everything online now days and have for a good while. The only regular use of checks now is for paying the water/sewer/trash bill since they charge a fee for credit card use which is more than the percentage I would get for cashback on the CC. I do the same thing for vehicle tags once a year. Other than those things it is really rare that I use them.

 

[bill3607]

The people saying they can't balance a checkbook. Ummm, it is really easy. Adding and subtracting. You know, you want to have more coming in than going out. It is Cake and Pie

No. That was considered legal tender in Plumeria Gardens.

It's been ages since I've used the words "Plumeria Gardens". That was my made up fantasy city in our house.

Remind me, I have a few in a box somewhere. Yes, the actual "check" I made when I was teeny tiny.

 

[tripletfeb]

No, but considering my bank charges for checkbooks (I think like 30 bucks for one) and it's less hassle to pay other ways I never had a checkbook either

How does your bank charge for checkbooks? You mean the register where you write everything down or the actual cover that holds the register? Or the checking account that you set up with the bank?
