A lot of older people seem to like the idea of still being able to write a check. I guess it's because most older people just don't like change.

At any rate, in my neighborhood some of the local bars and grocery stores still cash checks for their regular customers. To tell you the truth, even though it's antiquated, cashing a personal check in a local bar, or deli, on a Sunday, when the banks are closed, almost feels nostalgic. It's a link to the past.

I, for one, hope they never completely do away with paper checks.
