Here's a new wrinkle.  We went to a Lane Bryant store (for ladies
clothes) and, when my wife wrote the check, the cashier stamped it on
the back, recorded my wifes drivers licence and credit card and then
asked her to sign the back of the check under the following rubber
stamped text:

	THE CUSTOMER AGREES THAT IN THE EVENT THIS CHECK IS RETURNED
	AS UNCOLLECTABLE, WE MAY CHARGE THE CUSTOMERS VISA, MASTERCARD,
	AMERICAN EXPRESS, OR LANE BRYANT FOR THE AMOUNT OF THIS CHECK 
	AND A SERVICE FEE OF $15.00.

Surprise!  comments?
