The End of Paper Checks
At the end of last semester I got rid of my debit card after I ran up $450.00 in bounces. I've been writing out checks for five months now and I'm understanding why so many people have debit cards. I'm always given a hard time because my drivers license was issued in Georgia so I've started to carry my passport with me as well and my UB card.
The only place I ever go to write checks is Walgreens. Pretty much every time it takes around 10 - 15 minutes to make a simple exchange. The cashiers always have to call in their managers. Last night when I went in my check would not go through. When I got home I called a number they gave me and the person I talked with apologized to me for not accepting my check and told me she would put me on checking V.I.P. or something like that.
Today I went back to Walgreens, ready to write another check and the lady told me that I'm not allowed to purchase cigarettes with a check. WHAT the FUCK? I mean, I just don't understand that they were going to let me last night. Why is it that people can use their debit cards to purchase cigarettes and I can't write a fucking check? On man, that cashier sucks so bad, she's fat and ugly and has a monotone voice teamed with a lack of expression. After that I'm like OK well, I need the tampons so whatever. Then she tells me she has to call over the manager because my license is out of state. There is some guy standing in line behind me who is just has one item. I get all pissed and tell the lady to just forget it. Then I get home and realize that I left my blank check laying on the counter so I have to go back and make sure no one took it.
I'm frustrated because I really need tampons, cigarettes, and medicine for cramps.
