Last time I was in the US, I was at a convenience store with a quick checkout - max 5 items. Then I saw that a couple was paying by check. Writing the check scanning it and verifying etc. took about 10 times as long as scanning the wares. Is this still a normal interaction?

It's normal for a check transaction to take that long; it's hasn't been normal for people to be paying by check since the late 2000's, if not sooner.
