AnneLine Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 That translated into a paycheck that came ONCE a month.... delivered on mid-Friday. IF you were lucky, and IF your boss was in a good mood.... he might let you slip out to deposit it in the bank with a teller.... since the banks closed at 3 pm (maybe 5pm if you were lucky) and weren't open on weekends... and no one had invented the ATMs yet. On the other hand, the corner store would cash a check... and most likely would let you get something on credit IF your mom or dad had OKed your signing for the tab....

MIKolbe Posted April 18, 2012 Author Share Posted April 18, 2012 I remember when my mom or dad used to go to the grocery store and write a check out to "cash"...like the beta version of an atm. LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
