Having checks marks you as old.
I still have checks but I can barely remember the last time I used one.
Some national and state parks require camping fees at self-service stations.
When you've been traveling all day and discover that you need to pay $4 and don't have that many ones writing a check seems like a good idea.
Nowadays I think that you can just write your credit card info on the form.
I'd still prefer a check. OTOH, it used to take months to clear.
I hate cash, especially change.
Other people paying with cash is also a nuisance.
You're in a long line and somebody ahead of you has to pay 4.13, so they pull out a 5, then say, "I've got the 0.13 somewhere"...
Nowadays I'm all digital wallet.
