I have one that said she ran out of checks, so she couldn't pay until her checks came in. I told her cash would be fine, and she was irritated. She did go get the cash though.
Fast forward about 4 months and we still do the same song and dance every Friday. The checks have mysteriously never come in
, she forgot her debit card, forgot to stop by the bank, forgot it was Friday,...each week she is told Monday will be fine, just add $20 for late fees and she huffs off and returns with the money.
Craziness. Thankfully, my other parents are awesome at remembering and paying on time!
