Years ago you needed to send them a check every month. You also mostly got paid with a monthly check.

For some (historic) reason bank transfers are very underutilized in America. I think it gets better though? I don't know am not 'murican.

My guess is that forcing you to withdraw cash or write checks is more profitable for one of the most under-regulated industries in the world in one of the most under-regulated countries in the world 🤷

Just how backwards do you think we are? I haven't written a check for at least ten years. Everything is electronic now.

Very, very backward

This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.
