It can be frustrating when somebody in line ahead of you wants to write a check, then the cashier has to call the manager and they want two forms of ID. That's at least one reason people rarely write checks anymore for retail purchases. Direct Deposit for income; auto-pay for credit cards, mortgage, insurance, utilities, etc. Tradesmen (painter, landscaper, etc) like a check when the job is started, and the balance when it is finished.
Interesting that I stopped the farm stand today and they said 30% discount if you pay cash for end of season specials, you can put everything else on a CC.
I believe it used to be that muggers always wanted cash. Now, they'll take your CC too. No personal experience with muggers.
