Honestly the change is pretty small.

Up until at least the mid 90s everywhere took checks. Honestly today interacting with the cash register at CVS takes longer than writing a check.

Sure, a 30 second check writing reduced to a 10 second tap to pay can be a little bit of an improvement (except when it doesn't work), but really it's not that much better.




May you be the luckiest person on earth if the people in front of you only took 30 seconds.


Today's "I have a coupon on my phone but I can't get cell service here" guy is honestly far worse than "slow check-writer" guy.
