Why do people write checks at public places?

Some businesses dont take cards, we get charged a shitload, some are well over 3%.
At our Dry Cleaners thats precisely why we refuse cards, thats like at least 6% of your net profit gone if you do that. But we were lucky, a lot of the time they would just give Cash. I think only about 35% of revenue was from checks.

I know a couple peeps that don't even have ATM cards. They have to go to the bank, and withdraw money from a teller to get cash. WTF??
