"old school" sometimes sucks.
hahha...
I booked a fishing trip to Mexico. I had to pay up. get this. I had to mail a check to Florida.. the option to charge it to a card was retarded. I had to fill out a form with my CC # and mail that!!! hahahah... I'm pretty sure something called the INTERNET was invented. surely I didnt dream it. I put my check into an envelope, walked my happyass into a post office (that smelled like boiled cabbage) and paid to get my stuff mailed with tracking, and signature. easy right? NOOOO!! it has been 3 weeks and my stuff is missing. hahahha..the fishing booking agent is on vacay, until Christmas, so I cant even call her to tell her I am going to STOP CHECK and send another one. oh, the Mexican booking agent is in Idaho. FaCK. my Brazil fishing trip was similar. I had to mail that check to a woman named Susan.. I'm am not in business, but I bet I could set up some simple online payment system in an afternoon. maybe Square-Space or something.? old school is cool for cast iron skillets and some cars...maybe paintings. but this. nope, move into the new century people! there is plenty of room.

I get paid by check from a billion dollar a year revenue company for services I provide. They refuse to do bank transfer or direct deposit.

I don’t do Venmo or Zelle or any other online payment thingy. If old school payment by check or cash won’t work then I’ll do PayPal, grudgingly. I’ve become super paranoid since my identity was stolen a few years ago.

Must be something with fishing outfitters. The guy I use for Mexico is the same way--check only, deposit then full balance, and he is based in Colorado. no email, no texts, no CC.

What would really improve the process would be a requirement for something to be faxed!
