What to do with a $1.89 refund check?
Some people would probably cash it. I had this refund check laying around for about two months and was just about to throw it out as I was doing my bills this month.
The refund was from SBC after I had canceled my phone and ISDN. I’ve lived in the Bay Area all my life, and it was nice to finally just say goodbye to SBC (ATT became Pacific Bell became SBC became ATT ) for all the obvious reasons. So they of course couldn’t even get the cancellation correct and send me a $1.89 refund for the phone and don’t complete the disconnect of the ISDN. I have to call (for the third time) to correct it. They say they are going to send me a bill.
So I’m doing my bills and they have sent me a bill for $4.14. Great, I take their $1.89 check and endorse it back to them, put in $2.25, and mail it off. Now that’s two less bills I have to deal with each month.
