But we want to know if you still use checks,
because I'm getting a check back in the mail, and

can still receive checks because they're going to fade them
out before twenty thirty.
Speaker 2 (00:42):
But I didn'tderstand. Okay, so.
Speaker 3 (00:45):
How so you can't even go into a bank now
and get out cash Sometimes, like if you want to
get a large amount of money, you have to call
Ahead and say, okay, I need five thousand dollars?
Speaker 2 (00:56):
Can you please have that redud? Do you have to
have to call Ahead?
Speaker 4 (00:59):
Idea as well? They don't keep heaps of cash there anymore.
Speaker 3 (01:01):
Oh what are they keeping there the lunch secrets, lots
of lunches.
Speaker 4 (01:06):
Is it like an arcade in the safe?
Speaker 2 (01:08):
Now where does the money go?
Speaker 5 (01:10):
Now?
Speaker 2 (01:11):
Like, where does the money go?
Speaker 4 (01:12):
Do you have to tell them beforehand?
Speaker 2 (01:14):
What you have to organize it?
Speaker 3 (01:16):
Set an appointment to go and get the cash because
I don't keep that much cash anymore.
Speaker 2 (01:19):
Oh okay, but where's the money in the computer? But
that's how it.
Speaker 1 (01:24):
Feels whether they store the best from the bank. Is
it it must be in the computer.
Speaker 4 (01:30):
When the armor guard guys come up, and what are
they taking it? Where do they take it?
Speaker 2 (01:33):
I don't know to a bank. Well, I would assume,
so I don't get it.
Speaker 3 (01:38):
I really I not do checks though. That's it's like
some places that don't do cash. Now, yeah, it gives
me absolute errits.
Speaker 1 (01:47):

and then hands them over And that's how you.

Speaker 1 (01:55):
I used to thought think they were the best thing.
When my mom or dad would come out with a
check book and then come out with it and then
write out of check and then pay for it.
Speaker 4 (02:03):
It used to be so cool. I thought it was
the best.
Speaker 2 (02:05):
You got paid with one million dollar check.
Speaker 1 (02:07):
Yeah, I've got a million dollar check. But also I
got paid in checked. When I was working at an arcade,
my boss would write out the check of a certain
amount of money. Then he'd have to write at the back,
please play cash to s and then sign it. And
then I go in and then hand the check over.
Speaker 4 (02:24):
They check it all and then give me the cash
for the check. That's so much easier that way, Because
this is what we were talking about yesterday.
Speaker 2 (02:34):
