If it was not previously used (eeeewwww) then what's the problem?

Maybe 2-ply is the problem. That extra ply jams the check machines.

I can understand the clerk not wanting to accept such a check, but as far as I know if he included the proper bank-routing numbers and such he is OK and the clerk is wrong.
I think the first time I noticed this form of protest was in the Seventies, when a man wrote his check on the side of a live bull - and the banking authorities said it had to be accepted.
