Man, that’s some hyperbole. Ain’t nobody believing you haven’t seen a check in 40 years. It’s not for every day use but there’s always something that needs a check for some dumb reason, like setting up direct deposit or paying the emergency plumber. Stuff comes up.

I’m not American, but
I’ve literally never seen a check in my life, and I’ve been around since the late 80s.
I got paid by check for a gig on Christmas Eve.
Believe it, bub. In backwater places like Brazil people have moved on from credit and debit cards to fully digital systems like Pix. Meanwhile my town in Tennessee will take only cash or cheque for taxes.
I mean, fully digital isnt a massive flex. “Cash is king” is a saying for a reason
I’m so used to my country being late to this type of stuff that i only realised pix wasn’t an international thing until just recently.
Also how dare you?! Only i get to call this backwater place backwater! /s
Is there a c/suddenlycaralho?
Other than getting paid for a few labor jobs out of high school, I haven’t seen a cheque used ever, so I can believe it. Banks give sheets with direct deposit info, and any tradespeople I’ve hired have taken various other forms of payment.
For reference, this is in Canada though, so not the default.
I work at a bank, I see thousands of checks a day. They’re still out there.

In America?
Yep, checks are used a lot by charities and churches, plus migrant workers are often paid by checks, and there’s market nearby that will cash all of their checks for them, and that market is a customer of my bank, so when they bring in their deposit, it’s a stack of checks at least 6 inches tall every day. And that’s honestly not even half of the checks we see a day.
I wrote two checks last week. I’m 29. Landscaping company and car down payment.
I’m 46 and have never used a cheque
They’re still somewhat common in the US. I use checks to pay the cleaners, and my bank sends checks for bill pay.
Isn’t it “cheques”
It’s checks in American English.
That checks out, once you check that task off I’ll send your check, just make sure you check it before depositing it.
EDIT: ChatGPT did a better job at this than I did.
In a game of chess, the king was in check, so the player paused to check his phone, where he received a check for his latest freelance project, after which he decided to check off his to-do list and check his coat at the restaurant’s check-in counter.
It seems to be fair to use the American spelling, as everyone else doesn’t use them.
rehash of this older New Yorker cartoon? there I go writing B.C. on my checks again
