The fewer places print checks, the more each one is busy. Also probably still very common for businesses.

This. I can tell you from a banking standpoint we were ordering FAR fewer registers and other check stuff over the years and before I left they had reduced the amount we even could order to like 10 books per order, so not at lot and old ladies would come take them all.

Yes, my wife and my employers both pay using checks as well as printed invoices after direct deposits.

My entire family uses checks to pay each other. I'm not going to Venmo my dad $15,000. And his back doesn't let me transfer funds to him for since idiotic reason.
