I had a problem at Costco. I think it was just my checkout person. My mom has used my checks (with my name) at Costco and has no problem. I've used my checks at Costco and others with no problems, but last Sunday they would not let me use them.
Same here. BUT, my BRU in Ypsilanti has gotten smart and only lets me use one at a time. I guess on the check it says "allow one per customer" or something like that. Bast*rds!
I really think it just depends on where you go and who you get at the register...I have had problems at target before when using someone else's, and also trying to use expired checks. No problems at BRU, BBB, or Kroger, though.
