Sorry I meant to add: trust is always incumbent on the customer in meatspace anyway to not simply walk away from self checkout and to scan the items and pay for them.

Checks didn't die because of the fraud problem (which is obviously a problem). Checks died because cashing a check is inconvenient compared to processing a credit card payment.
