Would You Like a Receipt?

[NorthernChaosGod]

One time I bought a donut and the cashier asked if I would like a receipt. I looked at her in confusion and said "It's just a donut, we don't need to bring ink and paper into this."

Then a friend of mine didn't believe that I bought a donut.

I always ask for receipts now; I've learned my lesson.

Mitch, is that you?

I don't usually take a receipt unless I've bought something expensive. When I do the odd bit of grocery shopping or buy something incidental, I always politely refuse a receipt.

I always take receipts because well I like to double check the math before I leave a store! That and receipts are incredibly necessary when I go out to eat with friends and everyone pays for themselves, hell no I ain't payin' for your steak when all I got was a hamburger >:0

[~*~Celes~*~]

The stores I tend to frequent don't ask me if I want the receipt or not, they always just hand it to me or put it in my bag. I always end up throwing them out anyway.

We're always asked if we want the receipt around here, but I just tell them "no" unless I either buy several things for several different persons, if the total came to something strange that I didn't expect, or if I need it as a proof of purchase for something sort of expensive, like a pair of headphones for example. Places where I buy really expensive stuff like PCs usually have a pretty comprehensive and reliable computer system where receipts are saved, so I don't usually use a lot of energy on keeping my paper copies in a safe place.

You know I was thinking about it, if you saved all your receipts for a while you'll be able to make a paper mache goat.

I horde them thinking I'm going use them someday (even when I'm just buying starbursts from the gas station) and then throw them out when I just have a bunch of unorganized white slips of paper getting in my way xD

Best reason I've heard yet for actually taking one!

The best part would be when you get an Audit from the IRS.

When you buy things, do you ask for a receipt?

I usually say the first thing that comes to mind which is usually "nopyes."

Do you take a receipt when asked to do so?

Yeah because just not taking a receipt when asked seems kind of rude.

Have you ever had an experience where keeping a receipt paid off?!

Nopyes.

[oddler]

I'm super guilty of this, too!

See, then you just have to tag "thanks" onto the end of what you want to say. However, sometimes this makes you look snobby and sarcastic i.e. "Stop looking at me, thanks."

Oh heh I thought I was the only one.

Kind of like "Your breath stinks, thanks. "

[oddler]

It's pretty crazy that that was the other example I was thinking of using.

[Momiji]

When offered one, I generally say 'yeah, sure', but I usually end up throwing it away later because I really don't care about receipts!

[oddler]

I'd say the only times I really say, "Yeah, I'll take it," is when it's already been printed out by default of by an assumption. No use wasting it then. And that gets me thinking... Why are we even asked in the first place? Why don't we just have the things shoved in with our purchase and go?
