Nice To Beep You
Comments (54)
This comic literally taught me that you can scan a check and deposit it in your account via online banking.
last time I wrote a check, sometime in the 80s...
Wish I could say the same. My former landlord/property-management company refused to even consider electronic payments, insisted on checks every month. And because utilities varied, there was no way to set up an autopay schedule from the bank.

She could do a matching grant. - pay for half if others make up the other half.
I have a feeling that she'll notice the amount next... Hanners writing a check suggests to me that it's serious money. She's not one to be like "Lah de dah I'm rich here I'll just solve your problem with money" but now that there's a formal effort to raise money she's more than happy to participate... we shall see!
My bank doesn't have physical locations in my area, so if someone gave me a check I'd have to scan it anyway.
Hanners managed to calm down from Winslow comparing her to her mother, then.
She's storing that up until she can discharge it at a safe location. Again.
Beepatrice seems to aspire to human functionality. I see her as the Wizard of Oz companions in search of their missing (inappropriate) parts
- Nice to Beep you! - Hanner'd to make your acquaintance!
We basically can't even use cheques now in the UK. You have to go out of your way to get a cheque book from my bank and they no-longer do cheque guarantee cards; a lot of places won't accept cheques without one...well a lot of places just won't accept them full stop now.
I received a DVLA refund cheque in the post after I scrapped my car and my reaction was "WTFIDK" but it turns out my Lloyds Bank mobile app could scan it and deposit the funds! But yes, never mind cheques, thanks to coronavirus you can't even use cash in the pubs any more.
Hannelore is good people
Is it just me or has Beepatrice always had that booty?
My current landlord insisted on paper checks until he realized I'd be bugging him every month to cash the goddamn thing because I wanted accounts settled. We switched to online payments afterwards and it's been a lot more convenient.

Beeps loves the analog process, Winslow. Don't try to push her into the digital world, even if she is a digital creature.
The only checks I've handled recently that couldn't go through an ATM were from Canada. There's only one branch with a drop box that doesn't require a key, which requires signing several forms, so I have to take it there if I don't want to walk into a bank during business hours.
I had to write a physical check last year. It had been so long since I'd written one, the bank flagged it as fraud. 😂
I just found my checks today, I cleaned my desk after a few years of letting it pile up
Anyone else suspect Hanners wrote a check large enough to cover the entire cost of May's new body out of guilt for her Dad's well-meaning error?
Or at least a sizable piece of it. Give the fundraising a push.
Robots should have eye scanners, she should know this tech
I think Beepatrice would like to be as human as possible
If you own a house in the USA and have to pay a roofer, handy person, etc. it'll often be a choice between cash or check.
here (Canada) I was given the options of cheque, cash or e-transfer for landscaping... had to be e-transfer as I haven't had any blank cheques for 10+ years
I still need to write the occasional check. And it wasn't that long ago where if you didn't have the physical cancelled check then you didn't have proof that you paid the bill.
Will any banks still have physical branches? Maybe they need to find a sentient ATM.
Oh sure they exist. Bruh and Clinton went to one to deposit the cash money from selling the clock.
This is probably a cultural thing, but it always seems weird to me when a twentysomething character hauls out a chequebook. Not just that they're writing a cheque, but that they carry the chequebook around, as if it were something they anticipate using regularly.
Cards are all made contactless for several years now (at least in Europe/Asia), and Apple Pay / Google Pay almost made them obsolete too. USA is weird.
I sometimes use check. Not very often, mind you, but enough to be noticeable for a millennial lol
It's SO RETRO!
That's a pretty old reference in the bottom text. Nice.
Beep is precious
I remember when Slavs used to write Czechs for Yugos.
Whip me, beat me, make me write bad checks.
I still have and use checks. A local pizza place still takes them.
I’m curious what Hannerlore’s handwriting looks like? I wonder if it’s exceptionally well written?
Next bonus comic: Just Hanners' handwriting. Get on it, Jeph.
I wonder how much money Hannes gave them. I also wonder if Bubbles got May that $20.
I suspect not ... :D
Even after the singularity, when communication and information processing is instantaneous, clearing a cheque will still take 3-5 working days.
3-5 days for you to get money. Bank takes it out of your account in 3-5 seconds.
Kind of a slice-of-life moment here. I wonder how many of the folks here write checks on a regular basis? But Beeps is adorable here. Kind of naif like.
I do! Money doesn't seem real to me unless I handle something physically. I get in bad trouble if everything's virtual.
PDFs, physical checks, what's next, communications by telegraph?
Melon and Yay covered that a few months ago.
She could just take a picture of the check with her phone... or eye. Can robots just have browsers installed on themselves?
Canonically in QC, yes.
Hannelore continuing to be the most adorable!
Hannelore is as adorable as ever 😄
As is Beeps!
