The very notion that anyone should ever have to
hand over $20 or more to cash a $600 paycheck has always struck me as
nasty business. So it's super to see some serious competition hit the
check-cashing business, even if everyone has a motive. Go into a Kroger
store and a banner above the grocery carts proclaims: "Kroger now

than $50, the service is free. Kroger cashes checks that are worth $650
or less. It won't cash a tax-refund check. [more]
