Since living here, I've noticed that they seem to make it much more inconvenient to write checks. They have to take your license each time which In Turn holds up the line, making for some frustrated customers behind you. After writing only two checks at Publix, I decided it wasn't worth the time and wait to complete the transaction this way. Perhaps they should take a look at making it easier for customers to write checks. I personally know if the store implements different means of accepting the check then it will be more customer friendly.

I think most stores are moving away from checks because their customers are moving away from checks. No idea about percentages, but I'm sure it's a high number of people using credit cards and debit cards.....probably over 90%. I bet it won't be too many years before there aren't even checks, at all.
