Register. But I couldn't tell you the last time I used one. Maybe in college?

[andrewsgal]

Scrap paper I seriously have never ever used one

[cna]

My little paper book was always in the checkbook so I call the whole thing the checkbook. I honestly couldn't tell you the last time I wrote a check....

[andrewsgal]

I write two checks a week. Babysitter and cleaning lady.

[quesyrah]

So, I needed a new one and went to the bank an asked for a check register. The woman stared at me blankly and then said, "oh a bank book?"

Bank books are WAAAAAAAY old school. They harken back to the days where you actually had to go to the bank to do any banking. I've seen them a handful of times, but never from anyone younger than 80.

Whaaaat? I used a bank book until like maybe, 5 years ago. It was the little book that you stuck into the ATM machine each time to be updated. I guess that technically does feel like forever ago, but still...

Lol. Its a register. I think I had a bank book for the account my great aunt opened for me when I was 6.

I am old but not quite 100

I have never ever put something IN the atm that wasn't my debit card or money to deposit. Where do you live??

Seriously! Well call me shocked. I'm in Ontario; I did that my whole life up until, like I said, maybe 5 years ago. Instead of getting the "receipt" you get now, you put your little bankbook into the slot, it sucked it in, printed any updates on your account like deposits/withdrawals/etc. and then spit it back out again.

I figured I was either really old or really foreign. I think I might be both...

I have never heard of a bank book. Or something you put in the Mac machine?
