It is a pain in the ass to get behind some senior citizen (I am one of those) who drags out his/her checkbook after everything is rung up and laboriously pays their bill. I pay my grocery bills with cash about 100% of the time.

If you insist on using checks you can have it mostly filled out before you get to the store and have it handy when it’s your turn.

OK, that’s my bitchin for the day.
