No offense to anyone who pays with checks.
Nowadays it seems like checks are becoming less and less trustworthy. I suppose this is the reason why a lot, if not most places, allow you to pay your bill online, or even charge it to your credit card like some insurance companies I've seen do. I will only use checks to pay a bill through the mail.
I am talking about people who go inside a store and pay with checks. I am actually very surprised that the store even accept them anymore, as there has been way too many bounced checks. They're also the slowest way to pay while everyone has to wait for the person to write them out, and wouldn't you know a lot of check writers wait until everything is rung up to start filling out their check.
Ok, I am rambling, so on to the story. I answered the phone to take a delivery order for a customer. SCC= Stupid Check Customer
Me: Will this be cash or credit Maam?
SCC: Do you accept checks?
Did I say, "Cash, credit, or checks?"
I would have said checks if we accept them.
Me: I'm sorry, we don't.
SCC: Cancel the order then.
Me: Well, we do accept cash or cards.
SCC: You guys used to accept checks.
Yup we did, until people's checks started bouncing on us. Completely deceitful and a very unreliable way of paying for stuff if you ask me.
Me: We never have at this location, too many bounced checks.
SCC: Ok, never mind, just cancel the order.
Me: Bye.
She wasn't really sucky, but seriously, only an idiot has only 1 form of payment. She might not have cash on her, but I don't see anything wrong with paying with a credit card, like 95% of our customers do anyway.
Once again, no offense meant to anyone who uses checks. But they are becoming less and less reliable. We'd be better off without them in my opinion.
