Why would they sweat? You just input the amount of the check, stick it in the machine to get franked, and the till opens. It's not much more complicated than cash and way easier than damn WIC (great program, lousy execution).
Handing them a check isn't a problem. What sucks is when the customer pulls OUT the check book to slowly fill it out, AFTER you told them the total, while your line backs up and it fucks your metrics.
You don't even really need to fill them out anymore. You just sign it and have them run it through the machine for the exact amount.
When I was a cashier, I'd tell people that and they'd respond that it wouldn't fill out the carbon copy, so they'd just manually continuing to fill out the check anyways and hold up the line :-\
With the machine filling out the checks, it's no slower than running a credit/debit card.
