Doesn't surprise me. Most companies eliminated that option years ago. |

Wow, flash back to waiting in a long line at the Cogeco (or what was it before?) on McLeod rd. to pay a bill... but then I was equally struck by a deeper memory waiting in line to pay a hydro bill, possibly at the same place.
I completely forgot we used to pay bills in person before the internet. |

I completely forgot we used to pay bills in person before the internet. Or by mail, but yeah. I remember my parents used to load us into the car and head downtown to drop the hydro, gas and telephone cheques into the drop-boxes at the offices. Come up Church Street to hit hydro, then to the other end for gas (what is now a condemned building), then swing around back to King Street for telephone. Maclean-Hunter was on Wright Street near the Service Road, but we didn't have cable for much of the time I was a kid. And for some reason, I want to say it was Consumers Gas on McLeod Road, not the hydro company, but that was so long ago. |

I remember the same thing when I was a kid... everyone loading into the car and going to drop off cheques in the drop boxes for the bills. |

If I was lucky, my Dad would let me drop the bill into the slot |

Yeah kids today have no understanding of a simpler life without blackberries and cell phones and video games. You used to go outside and play from the time the sun came up until it went down. |

Yeah, the heat never used to bother me as a child. We'd go outside in the morning and not come home until our mother whistled for dinner time. |

I don't think they'll ever take away the ability to pay bills through the bank. At least until banks no longer exist and everything is done via the internet. |

I completely forgot we used to pay bills in person before the internet. It was Maclean-Hunter, then Rogers, then Cogeco. The red paint was still on the sign outside until very recently. |
