Because I've been told that the main reason for checks still being in use is the lack of convenient wire transfers, and having to bother with cashing out checks when e.g. getting your salary sounds a lot less convenient than just getting the money directly to your bank account. (Feel free to correct me in case my information's mistaken.)
Most employers actually prefer to pay via direct transfer, and obviously the banks offer these services.
Again, it isn't a case of the service not being offered, it is just that individuals are offered a choice, and some choose differently than you would. Why does that bother you?
It doesn't; I was under the impression that it was a case of the service not being offered. Some folks from around here that I know have sold their products in webstores owned by American companies, and complained about those companies insisting on payment by check, which are a pain to get processed in our banks. But perhaps this just means that American companies aren't good with international wire transfers, while being fine with domestic ones?
