Ooh, I'll play! I'm 40 years old. I write checks every month to pay my rent, which has to be delivered to their office either by snail mail or in person (no online payment option).
The last time I saw a dedicated fax machine was my retail job in 2008.
The last time I used a deposit slip was three years ago when I deposited a gallon bag of change in person with a bank teller.
So you’re definitely old enough to know what ✏️📼 means!
Well yeah. It's when you shove your ✏️ into the magnetic tape so you can destroy it because it contained evidence of the time you pooped the bed and then tried to toss it out the window.
Now ✏️ and cassette are a different thing.
The whole medical empire in the US still uses fax machines for “security reasons”. I had to sign up for some shadey ass online fax service to send docs to my moms doctor after she got sick. And the idiots at the doctors office had their fax machine broken half the time, so they never got half the docs I sent to them.
Sadly, many can't be trusted or bothered to use a secure means of communication. A lot of people think whatever they use for email or sms is 'secure.' Often healthcare, finance, and higher ed try to sidestep the liability as a result.
I'm 38, I've not used a cheque since I was 19.
I'm 40 and I just used to a check to pay for a car.
I'm gonna guess this is an American thing
I'm in the US and I recently paid for a car with a cashier's check as well. I was tipped off by the salesman. Evidently at that dealer they charge you a service fee for paying with a card or similar method. Paying by cash or check incurred zero fees.
That's correct! Not very common for dealerships to accept a credit card for the payment, even a down payment.
And I didn't feel comfortable handing them cash directly.
I guess I could have given them my debit card. But giving them a check with a paper trail seemed more secure in my head. Uncertain if that's true or not.
