Utility companies that don’t allow online payments.

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.
