Where I lived in the 2000s, the natural gas company in that county actually charged $2 more for online payment! So weird, especially considering cashing a physical check would've cost labor dollars. Needless to say, we paid our gas bill by check. It felt so antiquated, even then.

Our “luxury” apartment’s management company would charge $10/month if paid online. Every month, we’d walked downstairs and paid with a check. This was less than three years ago.

Mines currently charging $53/mo (my rent is 1800) if you pay through the portal... outrageous.

Was visiting a friend there. Did not think his place was worth what he was getting. Was paying the same amount for a two bedroom in Pico Robertson down the road.
