People are still writing checks?
I live in Florida and every once in a while I run into an old person ahead of me in line who uses like 90% of their remaining lifetime to write a check to pay for groceries.
They always wait until after everything has been rang up… Then the dementia kicks in and they fumble around their fucking purse looking for the checkbook… Like it just now dawned on them that they have to pay for this shit… Where’s my scrapbook of coupons? Oh I don’t have a pen!
This is why you’re in a fucking retirement home grandma! Die!
Of course you’re from Texas. You know most of the people in your state are ancient relics and devout evangelists, yes?
Good thing they’re dying off. They can take their checkbooks with them.
A lot of older people thought debit cards were a fad or didn’t trust them.
Completely unaware that every person they hand a check to gets the account and routing numbers, along with legal name and address.
Now they’re even older and learning is even harder.
I feel bad for all the cashiers that have to explain to someone our presidents age why they can’t take a check, but I guess most people that old don’t do their own shopping anymore anyways.
but I guess most people that old don’t do their own shopping anymore anyways.
I would very much not guess that. Maybe that would’ve been the case in the past, but Boomers seem largely in denial about their diminished capacity and are bent on maintaining their independence at more advanced age than previous generations did.
The oldest boomers aren’t 80 years old yet…
