That brings us back to old-timers and young-timers. When I first went to work it was for a big ol' multi-national corporation and they were one of the first to enforce that all employees HAD to have direct deposit. This was 1985.
And the older folks were throwing fits about it. Oh my gawd you would have thought the company was stealing their money. They really wanted that piece of paper to hold to show they'd made money.
And then, each week they'd get the STUB for their deposit, and treat it like gold. This old guy I worked with just couldn't get through his day on payday unless he knew where his stub was. The envelope used to contain a check, but now it only contained a receipt - but no matter, he would get that thing and treasure it. Me, I littered the bottom of my car with 'em, and the old guys would complain that I had no respect.
