This comic literally taught me that you can scan a check and deposit it in your account via online banking.

Rosie Marie

Baking is science for hungry people was an epic apron (still is!)

I received a DVLA refund cheque in the post after I scrapped my car and my reaction was "WTFIDK" but it turns out my Lloyds Bank mobile app could scan it and deposit the funds! But yes, never mind cheques, thanks to coronavirus you can't even use cash in the pubs any more.

Quantum Cat

Wish I could say the same. My former landlord/property-management company refused to even consider electronic payments, insisted on checks every month. And because utilities varied, there was no way to set up an autopay schedule from the bank.

Tim Williams

last time I wrote a check, sometime in the 80s...

She could do a matching grant. - pay for half if others make up the other half.

Sean

I have a feeling that she'll notice the amount next... Hanners writing a check suggests to me that it's serious money. She's not one to be like "Lah de dah I'm rich here I'll just solve your problem with money" but now that there's a formal effort to raise money she's more than happy to participate... we shall see!

My bank doesn't have physical locations in my area, so if someone gave me a check I'd have to scan it anyway.

David Howe

She's storing that up until she can discharge it at a safe location. Again.

Mark

Hanners managed to calm down from Winslow comparing her to her mother, then.

Beepatrice seems to aspire to human functionality. I see her as the Wizard of Oz companions in search of their missing (inappropriate) parts

jimbo

I think Beepatrice would like to be as human as possible

- Nice to Beep you! - Hanner'd to make your acquaintance!

...is what everyone in the world is saying to Americans anyway. Even in small Siberian towns most payments can be done with a mobile banking app. Checkbooks look like a steampunk era cosplay accessories.

Chris Crowther

We basically can't even use cheques now in the UK. You have to go out of your way to get a cheque book from my bank and they no-longer do cheque guarantee cards; a lot of places won't accept cheques without one...well a lot of places just won't accept them full stop now.

Hannelore is good people

Brent

Is it just me or has Beepatrice always had that booty?

Mark P.

My current landlord insisted on paper checks until he realized I'd be bugging him every month to cash the goddamn thing because I wanted accounts settled. We switched to online payments afterwards and it's been a lot more convenient.

Beeps loves the analog process, Winslow. Don't try to push her into the digital world, even if she is a digital creature.

Kherbellos

"Banking is science for money people"? I want that on a shirt XD

The only checks I've handled recently that couldn't go through an ATM were from Canada. There's only one branch with a drop box that doesn't require a key, which requires signing several forms, so I have to take it there if I don't want to walk into a bank during business hours.

Rob The Mildly Perplexed!

I just found my checks today, I cleaned my desk after a few years of letting it pile up

Valraven

Actually, it occured to me that Hanners, at least back when she was still super germophobic, probably prefers checks. They're far less, like, peripherally dirty than cash, or even atm cards.

T.

I had to write a physical check last year. It had been so long since I'd written one, the bank flagged it as fraud. 😂

Valraven

...goddamnit...

I imagine very small tight well organized writing.

Michael Boettger

Oh sure they exist. Bruh and Clinton went to one to deposit the cash money from selling the clock.

Michael Boettger

Or at least a sizable piece of it. Give the fundraising a push.

Anyone else suspect Hanners wrote a check large enough to cover the entire cost of May's new body out of guilt for her Dad's well-meaning error?

darklion

Robots should have eye scanners, she should know this tech

here (Canada) I was given the options of cheque, cash or e-transfer for landscaping... had to be e-transfer as I haven't had any blank cheques for 10+ years

Adam Friedlander

If you own a house in the USA and have to pay a roofer, handy person, etc. it'll often be a choice between cash or check.

Wild Card

I still need to write the occasional check. And it wasn't that long ago where if you didn't have the physical cancelled check then you didn't have proof that you paid the bill.

Andrew

Will any banks still have physical branches? Maybe they need to find a sentient ATM.

Dean Reilly

This is probably a cultural thing, but it always seems weird to me when a twentysomething character hauls out a chequebook. Not just that they're writing a cheque, but that they carry the chequebook around, as if it were something they anticipate using regularly.

Niskara

I sometimes use check. Not very often, mind you, but enough to be noticeable for a millennial lol

Sleepy John

It's SO RETRO!

Solomon Garland

That's a pretty old reference in the bottom text. Nice.

Joel Bateman

Beep is precious

BobC

I remember when Slavs used to write Czechs for Yugos.

Alacrity Fitzhugh

Whip me, beat me, make me write bad checks.

Tom B

I still have and use checks. A local pizza place still takes them.

Miyaa

I’m curious what Hannerlore’s handwriting looks like? I wonder if it’s exceptionally well written?

Nicholas A Wagner

3-5 days for you to get money. Bank takes it out of your account in 3-5 seconds.

Canonically in QC, yes.

I suspect not ... :D

Am Queue

I do! Money doesn't seem real to me unless I handle something physically. I get in bad trouble if everything's virtual.

Michael Boettger

Melon and Yay covered that a few months ago.

Andrea Andrew

I wonder how much money Hannes gave them. I also wonder if Bubbles got May that $20.

Spoogle McGee

Even after the singularity, when communication and information processing is instantaneous, clearing a cheque will still take 3-5 working days.

Michael Boettger

Kind of a slice-of-life moment here. I wonder how many of the folks here write checks on a regular basis? But Beeps is adorable here. Kind of naif like.
