Target announced they will stop taking paper checks as payments in mid July.

@mormel20. I bet they'll take a check when someone sends one in to pay their bill.

I'm really surprised they still take them. I'm betting a lot of cashiers don't know what to do with them.

Good for Target. So many people write bad checks and that is a big loss for retailers.

WOW

Target doesn't know what to do with checks!
But perhaps paper checks cannot be verified as quickly as plastic?

The way of the world. Like most things today, things are changed and you don't have a say in it. I get tired of having to do things their way and not mine. I told DH ages ago that one day soon you won't be able to write checks for anything. They will force you to use ccs or debit. Target is getting rather picky about different things. I guess business is so good there that they don't need to worry about what the customer wants.

One more way in which the criminals get a say in what we have to put up with. There are so many people who write bad checks, without thinking twice, and we the consumers have to pay. I've not written paper checks in a long time but don't like that they won't allow them.

I can't remember the last time I wrote a paper check at a retailer.

When I worked in retail, 20 years ago, bad checks were a frequent problem.

Even when the check was approved, some people knew how to make the checks bounce. You could always count on a check written certain times of the day/week to bounce. But the check was approved so you had to accept it.

I am surprised any retail store still accepts checks at the registers.

@Kachina624 Do you mean their Target credit card bill? That would be the bank that handles that and not Target. Just like Synchrony handles QVC cc payments.
