Stores no longer take checks; debit cards replace checks - MSN Money

This financial article says that checks will become obsolete within 10 years.

I like them. I'm one of the consumers cited who think they make it easier to keep track of what I'm spending, and I don't like using credit cards. Debit cards scare me a little, like anything electronic. And I certainly dol't do any banking Online.

How do others here feel about this? Do you still use checks?

I don't like the self service stations in some grocers, either. I like having personal service. I don't think any money saved by grocers by not having checkout employees will be passed on to customers, anyway. It'll just be added profit.
And many of today's checkout employees probably can't get many other jobs.

From what I've seen of most, they'll be a welfare burden.
