Rob’s Minor Annoyance of the Week: People paying with a check in front of you in line

Come on, lady! Do you have to pay with a check? It’s 2007. Get a debit card! Withdraw some cash from an ATM (there’s always one within 50 feet of you in 2007). And do you have to write sooooo slow, dot every “i”, cross every “t”, and balance your checkbook as you do this. And this is Starbucks! The $4.28 check that you are writing is holding up 10 people behind you who need their espresso fix!
