We don't want or own debit cards for many reasons.
I went to the teller, she said: " They can't cash the check because my wife wasn't present."
Even though I had my ID along, the head of the household and had my checking account at the same bank.

I too do not have debit cards, don't want the added potential for someone to use a card at any place possible. What I do have is an ATM only card. Most banks will provide an ATM only card if you request it in place of a debit card. This way you can use the bank ATM with a pin code when you needed it but it can't go to the grocery or gas station and use it for things. Just keep your ATM cards in a lockbox at home and only take it out when you need it.
