 We have a similar situation with Medicare. She says people living longer is a major driver. When was the last time you wrote a personal check to pay for your Target run? Company says it rarely happens, so they're going to stop accepting checks later this month. More from Christopher Cruz. It probably won't go like this. We don't accept your stupid check, okay? More than likely, if you try to pay for your items at Target with a check after the 15th of the month. I assume you'll take a personal check. You'll hear this. Please.
