This Reminder Is a Wee Bit Early

[They should consider suggesting people update their check style like fashion, rather than just reordering when they run out.]
As readers may know, I have fun with checks. However, though I have utterly ridiculous checks which amuse me greatly, I do not have much occasion to use said checks. As such, I was surprised to receive an email with the subject line “This is a friendly reminder to reorder checks.”.

I ordered a new batch of checks last August, and as the above email shows, I received 160 checks.1 Let me tell you, Harland Clarke is wildly overestimating how frequently I write checks. I’m still on my first of four books. In fact, over the past 9+ months, I have written exactly 10 checks. At this rate, I’ll need to reorder some time in 2034.

Footnotes:

I find it very disappointing that the image in this email fails to show the hug statement featured on my checks. ↩︎
