@panda I miss paper checks in a way, but in a lot of ways I don't.

I don't think y'all had Blockbuster there either. Truly one of the best stores ever from back in the day.

@panda :verified:

Because I'm from Germany I have two points. Paper checks where never a thing here and blockbuster also did not exist.

@sven222 You're the second person to comment with that and I honestly never knew paper checks never existed there.

They existed, but nobody used them. Only when traveling to other countries.

@sven222 Ah, that makes a bit more sense. So what did everyone use back then, before credit cards and stuff were popular and widely used?

Like today: cash. Never go in Germany to a butcher or bakery only with a credit card. Even cars you pay in cash here. Used cars, new ones by bank transfer.

@sven222

I was born in 1961 and paid for my second (new) car with a check here in Germany in the mid-1980s. Normally, the dealer was only guaranteed the maximum amount of 400 DM per check. So I would have had to write 45 checks. Fortunately, the car dealer trusted me, so I was able to pay the entire amount with one check.
This was another reason why payment by check was not so popular in Germany.
