You're not going to win this.

Post #269,998 by Another Scott 10/10/06 2:27:23 PM Reply	You're not going to win this. DD is used for almost everything now. It generally works very well. There should be few issues with DD of your pay, and if there are issues they should be easily resolved. Save your venom for something you can do something about. Like the evils of network televison. :-) (Hang in there.) Cheers, Scott.

The purpose of religion, one might say, is to give an air of respectibility to these passions. -- Bertrand Russell

I notice that the state requres semi-monthly payment. That's nice. I get paid monthly. I don't like it.

Post #270,011 by Another Scott 10/10/06 5:00:33 PM Reply	Yeah, that could be a problem. But considering that [link\|http://www.ssa.gov/deposit/DDFAQ898.htm\|75% of Social Security checks are sent by Direct Deposit], most of the kinks should have been worked out of the system by now. Those who don't have bank accounts have trouble, but how do they survive without credit or debit cards? E.g., AFAIK, it's impossible to rent a car without a credit card these days. I'm surprised that two of the posters here have had recent problems with DD. Although I was nervous about it initially, it has worked fine for me. (Sample of n, I know...) Cheers, Scott.

And time to time even they get their bubble burst even though they get to make the rules. These are two different problems...

Post #270,028 by hnick 10/10/06 7:27:55 PM Reply	Yeah, I said REMEMBERED... You're right. The first paychecks in my current gig were paper. Part of the hiring paperwork was giving them a voided check to set up the electronic deposit. It might have taken a month or so to kick in. I forget how, or when I got hooked up, but the previous one was digital also. My brain may be turning into tapioca, but fortunately, there's no way for me to get a spoon in there...

E.g., AFAIK, it's impossible to rent a car without a credit card these days. How many people "need" to rent a car? I think I've done so maybe twice in the last five years, and both of those were at the end of flights out of state.

Post #270,039 by Another Scott 10/10/06 8:47:42 PM Reply	Ok. Ya got me. I exaggerated. Good catch. :-) There was one time when my Buick needed to have its transmission replaced. Having no other car, and working at a place that would take 2 hours to get to via public transportation (vs. 20 minutes by car), I needed to rent a car for a few days. (No, the dealer didn't offer me a car.) CC was required. There was also a time when I went on a job interview to another city. The company arranged the flight and arranged to have a car reserved for me, but I had to pay for it with my own credit card. (They reimbursed me a few weeks later.) People who go on job interviews in a new area will likely be in similar situations. Yes, there are millions of people who get by without credit cards and probably a few million who don't have bank accounts. They must have options to get paid. But for most of us, and for an increasing percentage of the population, electronic funds transfers are nearly essential. Cheers, Scott.

I've seen articles profiling people who do just that -- two hours each way on public transportation -- to get to minimum-wage jobs. Does anyone really wonder why they can't dig out of that hole? === Kip Hawley is still an idiot. === Purveyor of Doc Hope's [link\|http://DocHope.com\|fresh-baked dog biscuits and pet treats].
