We had a customer call yesterday for a service call, his two year old
rubber check was hanging on our wall next to the counter. It had bounced
twice and we were unable to collect it from him. He was a bit surprised
but did come right in and take care of it and will pay cash for the
current service. I did not have TeleCheck service then, but I do now.
