Today I have a couple of blogs. I want to comment on the behavior of one Allen Iverson (NBA stud) and the use of hand written checks.

First,... written checks. Stardate: 2001 (that sounds pretty futuristic). It is Futuristic. We live in the NOW!!!! We are living in an age where most everything we do involves some sort of electronic transaction. Why are people still using checks at Wal-Mart (and other popular wholesale stores)? What a pain in the ass! While Timmy the checkout dude has to call for a "CSM" to approve your check, the rest of us with a measly 3 items have to wait on YOU!!!! . Every bank issues a check card nowadays. Get with the times. Get your blip card today.

Alternative... Let's say that some people HAVE to use a check. Let's put them all on an island... no wait wrong idea {I was thinking about that Kurt Russell movie} I say there should be a pre-approval process for your checks. When you walk into the store go up to the "desk" and have them approve your check ahead of time. That way the other more advanced citizens don't have to wait on your Model-A method of purchase for Camels, National Enquirer, Coleman stove, kitchen cleanser, fertilizer, plastic baggies, and Vess cola. Everyone's happy! Speed it up. No more waiting in line behind that smelly lady or the ugly little grubby kids who can't keep their hands off of the impulse candy section who only scream when Mom won't allow them to get the item of choice. God save us all.
