    I work at a bank, I see thousands of checks a day. They’re still out there.

      My condolences.

      On the other hand, we don’t have bank offices here anymore either. And getting someone on the phone is a nightmare.

      But it’s cheaper, so that’s why they raised prices. Wait, what?

        I wrote two checks last week. I’m 29. Landscaping company and car down payment.

        Yep, checks are used a lot by charities and churches, plus migrant workers are often paid by checks, and there’s market nearby that will cash all of their checks for them, and that market is a customer of my bank, so when they bring in their deposit, it’s a stack of checks at least 6 inches tall every day. And that’s honestly not even half of the checks we see a day.
