    They do verify immediately in many places. The cash register scans the check, extracts the bank routing and account numbers, and does an EFT transaction on the spot.

        Yeah. Then they hand the paper check back to you. (I haven’t written a check, or seen anyone write a check, at a store in many years, but that’s how it was working the last time I did see it.)
