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.

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.

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.
