I'm in the USA, and I will use a check only if it is the only realistic option, and those cases are surprisingly common. I've probably written about 100 paper checks in the last 5 years or so. Looking through my records, here are some examples of places I do business with that do not accept credit cards, or charge a fee to use a credit card:

Mortgage company

DMV

County tax collector

Roofing company

Pest control company

Child daycare

Air conditioning company

School PTA

Landscaping company

Kid's gymnastics lessons

Pet rescue organization

Dues for a hobby organization
