    I’m not in America and as recently as a few years ago, I was aware of several companies who had cheque printer sheets from their bank which had something like 3-5 cheques per sheet. You’d load up a template and fill it out, run it through the printer and then just sign them and it’s all good.

    I don’t see anyone using personal cheques anymore, but they’re still in use in business.

      I had to get a tow from a shop in town I’d not heard of before. Strong chance its just the one dude who works there. He was really surprised I didn’t have a checkbook on me. I was surprised that he was surprised since I’m consistently told I look about 20. I have a checkbook for the rare occasion that I need it, but haven’t written a check since my final rent check before I got my house

      I just wrote a personal check yesterday - bought a 20 year old minivan from the in-laws. But yeah, was the first time in years.
