writing cheques to purchase gum is wrong, and you know it!




I'll write a fvcking check for a fvcking .01 Cent screw if I please, I pay my bank good money to handle my checks I can write all I want.

Hey, if it's good enough for Mein Furher, it's good enough for me.

QUIT HOLDING UP THE LINE!

I can use a check and be just as fast as a checkcard user. The key is to have the check filled out with everything but the amount before she finishes ringing up your goodies. As soon as she's finshed, jot down the amount and hand her the check. Record the amount while she's running the check through the scanner.

That said, I haven't written a check at a store in years. There just isn't any need to with checkcards now. :p

Unfortuntately, yes. It's not terribly surprising, however, because walmart's clientele typically trends toward society's lower rungs, and "those people" are less likely to have the credit or intelligence to make a purchase using a more contemporary means, like a credit or debit card.

You could be close to as fast, but probably not quite as fast. In reality though people who use cheques seem to never have them filled out. It's all part of the dull intelligence that they possess. They cannot anticipate who they'll be making the cheque out to (even though they're in lineup at Walmart), so they wait. And boy is it bad.

are you serious? I hope you are right because we are all going to be homeless very soon if it continues to grow like this. :(

I use to be well off prior to 2000, now I'm just another bum on the street corner.
Lost of job, lost of self-esteem, pride, confidence have thrown me off course into what it is today, hell on earth!

It's true and we all know it

Hail to Nazi Wally, the new Hitler regime reborn as Sam Walton's Corporation to rule the world with an iron fist. Nothing stands in the way including middle class who is even an obstacle to wally's success. By destroying everyone's hometown through pillage and selling mass produced crap from China, it's no wonder why they have grown so big today.
What can I say? Hitler's style! No kidding!

Wal-mart would accept 3-inch pieces of string as payment if they could figure out an exchange rate.

Walmart owned by Americans > Target owned by the French.

Hell no. I used mine the other day and use it most of the time.

Well, they threatened to about 15 months ago. I'm assuming the lawsuit was resolved, but I can't find a news link on it.
