Maybe a friend would let you slide, but you certainly can't be doing that with any business. When you hand someone a check, it is your responsibility to make sure that check is good right then and there, not 2 days later. More and more merchants have that electronic system to verify checks on the spot. If they run the check through and it gets denied, you're out of luck.
