Don't. Google has been offering the feature for ages. It only works on
listed numbers and thus you could do it yourself with a call to number
Information (555-1212) and a map. And besides, what are you selling here?

FS: My opinion $0.02.

So basically, what your saying, is that google has maliciously cross
referenced the public phone books listed address's in order to automatically
fill out the address field in their map search so that you can do in a few
clicks, what normally took several page turns from several reference
materials to accomplish?

Yet another attack on our 1st amendment right to ignorant

SS#s, I'll agree with... There's never a need to put it on a check.

But, a large number of sellers *require* phone numbers or drivers
license numbers... Whether they're printed on the check, or written
by hand, they're still available to those same people you're afraid
of.

The authority on information you seek would be your 13 yo. Of course
if you wanna impress her, don't ask her first, find one of her friends
and pay her off not to tell. Who is Hilllary Duff anyway.

F.S. Incomplete knowledge of current pop culture due to checking out
of after the Dukes of Hazard was cancelled from network television.
However extensive knowledge of NFL football still maintained. Only 50

There are still people who pay for retail purchases by check?
How quaint. I haven't carried a checkbook for about 10 years now.
Don't you hate being in a checkout line behind someone who
doesn't even begin to fill out their check until all the purchases
are tallied up? Considerate people who insist on using a check
should fill out everything but the amount by the time they get
to the cashier. Unfortunately, most check writers are not
considerate of their fellow human beings or else they'd use a
credit card.

Well, that's... unrealistic.

Not everyone qualifies for or wants to pay the interest on a credit card. And
at least at the grocery store, where I still see a decent number of people
paying with checks, the process has been speeded up to the point that it's not
a big deal.

They could pay with ATM cards rather than checks. I do not understand why
they do not use ATM cards.

Steve, I'm suprised to hear you say that, as sharp as you usually are.
We're talking about ATM cards here, not unsecured credit cards. No one
who has a checking account is denied an ATM card if they ask (at least
I've never heard of anyone being denied, nor would I understand why anyone
would be denied one) so it would stand to reason that everyone should keep
their damn checkbooks at home and embrace the 20th century and use their
ATM cards.

Now, some people just CAN'T understand how to use a checking account
without having the checkbook (specifically, the ledger part) in front of
them for EVERY transaction (I know a guy like this) and that's STILL not a
problem. You just bring the ledger with you and keep the damn checks at
home. Easy!

It isn't difficult unless one wishes to make it difficult for oneself.
