I used to live in the US over 20 years ago. Only recently did I learn that in the US we don't use checkbooks in our daily lives anymore.
Does everyone open checkbooks at the cash register anymore ?
Please let me know if there are other things that they don't do this anymore or are gone.This text has been translated by auto-translation. There may be a slight difference between the original text and the translation. (Original Language: 日本語)

Credit card payments no longer require swiping the card through the slot next to the card terminal at the store. Now it is called "Tap", and the data transmission is done by simply holding the card over the terminal screen for a few seconds.
This is the same method used in Japan with the mobile wallet. Therefore, I only pay bills by check, and my check address is still the same as my home address that I had more than 10 years ago. I still have a number of checks that I don't use. Also, all payments to LADWP, credit card companies, and even cell phone companies are Auto Pay, which means that the other party will deduct the amount from my bank on the payment date by computer on their own.
The only things that still go off the check are the annual auto&fire insurance and the Property Tax that I pay to the County.This text has been translated by auto-translation. There may be a slight difference between the original text and the translation. (Original Language: 日本語)

Thank you. I miss it.
I still have the Thomas Guide from that time as a treasured keepsake.In those days, I used to flip through the paper to find places, or just go there by memory because the roads in L.A. are so easy without research.
The parking lot at Santa Monica Mall was free for the first 3 hours, but I wonder how it is now...This text has been translated by auto-translation. There may be a slight difference between the original text and the translation. (Original Language: 日本語)

Japon-san,
As is the case in Japan, the Internet has become even more widespread in our daily lives, and we buy all kinds of things on the Internet except for food. This has reduced the use of cars for shopping, and those of us who don't commute to work or school leave our cars in the garage.Also, the spread of Uber and Lyft is something that did not exist when Mr. Japon was here. Also, was there a Starbucks Starbucks back then? Also, Fly's, which used to be a thriving computer and parts distributor, is gone. Also, Fly's used to sell home appliances such as washing machines, refrigerators, and televisions, but they are now ordered online and we rarely go to the store ourselves.
Furthermore, as for the aforementioned checkbook, not only those who pay themselves, but also those who receive their salaries are now paid to their checking accounts by bank to bank transfer. Therefore, I rarely visit the bank and manage all my accounts on the Internet.This text has been translated by auto-translation.

Santa Monica Bus, Big Blue ? Something's stopped taking cash. They don't accept anything but tap cards.
I wonder if young people today don't know how to use cash ?.This text has been translated by auto-translation. There may be a slight difference between the original text and the translation. (Original Language: 日本語)

Two kids ( both college students ) don't like cash ~ and
don't want to pay cash.Even bills for parents come in Venmo ( Sweat )
State payments and DMV are also paid by card. Even when I buy stamps at the post office, I pay
with my card. Car fines are also paid by card.
Everything is done by card ・ Even if you open a bank account, you only get a checkbook with about 10 checks
because it's all by card.
The bank statement is also paperless, they don't send you anything.
Everything is managed online.This text has been translated by auto-translation. There may be a slight difference between the original text and the translation. (Original Language: 日本語)
