As a general rule, I don't mind checks. They take a little longer, but when you consider most people don't understand how to check out efficiently, it's not that big of a deal. But, of course, there are sucky and non-sucky ways to write checks. Obviously, this was one of the sucky ones.
So I ring up everything and give her the total. Only then does she start to dig in her purse for her checkbook. And of course she doesn't have a pen. What store is this? How do you spell that? One e or two? What's the date? What was the total again? 20.26?
She decides to write the check for $20 and give me the change. Out comes the giant, Mary Poppins type purse. At the very bottom is her change purse. She counts out 26 pennies, one at a time. And then, in a last ditch effort to be considerate, she stacks them in groups of 5. Finally, I get to process the check and put move on. But first, she needs to examine the receipt, one line at a time, at the register, with a line behind her. Eventually, I just walked to the next register and started ringing out others.
But there you go, got a sucky check writer and a sucky change counter in one go.
