You've got the check thing all wrong..
The most annoying thing about people who write checks are the ones who have 4 buggies full of groceries and wait for the cashier to scan and ring everything up and give them the total.. THEN they start looking for their checkbook much like Fisher looking for the challenge flag last Sunday..
For crying out loud, by the time I used to get my total - when I still wrote checks in stores - I would have everything filled out on the check BUT the total so everyone waiting behind me wouldn't have to wait even longer..
But, then again I'm also not one of those people who goes through a drive through with a list of 27 dinners - all special orders - for 27 people who all gave specific money and need their orders rung up separately, either...
