Or better, stop using or accepting cheques. mind boggles.Why not open a Post Office savings account, lodge cheques, withdraw cash?
I wouldn't be minded to put any barriers in the way of birthday presents either!Regarding accepting cheques, it was a gift from my 80 year old aunt. I wouldn't tell her I'm not accepting cheques. That's how she transacts and I respect that.
It's lodged anyway.
Just found it all a bit strange.
Reminds me of the Seinfeld episode where he cashes birthday cheques from his grandmother and (unsurprisingly) chaos ensues: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Pledge_DriveRegarding accepting cheques, it was a gift from my 80 year old aunt.
It's exactly this.I cannot see the point of a "plastic bag rule", except to stop people lodging cheques in a post office.
I'm surprised it was accepted. Did they have to provide a bank card too as guarantee?I was in the garden centre a few weeks ago and the person ahead of me wrote a cheque to pay, must say I was surprised at that, haven't seen someone actually write one in many years, not that elderly either!
There was a couple of staff so I was gone before the other transaction was complete but doubt they looked for a card, customer seemed to be known to them, small garden centre out in the country I'd say they know most of their regular customers myself included!The "magic bag" is obviously awkward but how many people will it actually apply to? Hardly anyone writes cheques anymore and for those who receive them, they have to go to the post office to cash them and not just use an ATM. It is a tiny percentage.

When lodging a cheque or cheques, you will need to put the cheques and lodgement docket into a designated clear wallet (cheque wallet) which you seal. Cheque wallets are available in all post offices and in Bank of Ireland branches.
