YES! *** In 1994 The Gallup Organization, found nearly half of all consumers consider checks the MOST CONVENIENT way to pay for purchases; only cash came close to matching checks in popularity. Those consumers surveyed by Gallup reported checks were used to pay for purchases 48% of the time; only 15% reported using checks less than 1% of the time, while 10% said they use checks all of the time to pay for retail purchases. Overall, Gallup found, 33% of consumers use checks more than 25% of the time at the merchant check out. Convenience seems to be a big draw for check writing. Of those queried this year (1994) by Gallup's pollsters, 43% said they found it very inconvenient when retailers do not accept personal checks; only 24% said it was NOT inconvenient.
