wtf is up with receipts nowadays.
Like seriously. Come on now. Back when I was a kid a receipt was a 1 inch by 3 inch slip of paper that told you the store name, what you bought, what it cost, how much you paid, and how much change you got back (if applicable). Real simple, purposeful shit.
But nowadays, what the fuck? It's like the cashier hands me this fucking ribbon of transaction info as if I need to string it up across the street for marathon runners to finish through. Have you looked at one of these receipts recently?
Check the fucking novel they're writing you:
Store name
Store logo
Store location
Store store number
Store phone number
Company website
A page break made out of asterisks or other stupid symbols
Date
Time
Receipt expiration date (the fuk?)
Some unintelligible machine code bullshit
The name of my fucking cashier/associate, as if I care or will ever see them again, ever.
The register I checked out at
A statement informing me that yes, this is in fact MY copy of the receipt
Another page break
Transaction ID number
Cashier ID number
Cashier name, AGAIN
Another page break
The item I purchased (finally, some info that actually matters)
The price of the item
The quantity of the item
The price of the item before the discount
How much I saved because of the discount
A short description of the item (cool story bro... we done yet?)
The ID number of the item
The item total
The sub total
State tax
county tax
tax to pay for the paper used in this long ass receipt
The real total
The number of items purchased (derrrrr I can count to potato)
Another page break
Credit card company
credit card number
credit card exp date
more unintelligible machine code
A sentence telling me my card has been approved (thanks for the update)
Authentication code
How much change I received (0.00 cuz I paid with a fuckin card)
Another page break
A sappy paragraph telling me how I should totally go to their website and fill out some bullshit survey
Another page break
A coupon for some shit I'm never gonna buy
An in depth explanation of their return policy
Another page break
A sentence thanking me for my purchase
Some stupid company catch phrase
The company website, again
Another page break
Fucking massive, 5 line vertical span barcode that will never be used for anything, ever.
More 50-digit meaningless strings of numbers
And one last statement letter me know for sure that this is my receipt, for real.
I swear I'm carrying around half the damn Amazonian rain forest in my wallet because of this bullshit (no hippy).
Rain forest pic for reference so I don't get thread banned (not the Amazon):

haha I am glad you brought that up, I was just thinking about this the other day when I went to best buy to buy a new cord for my ipod. The girl handed me a straight up book printed on a receipt.

Oh Best Buy is one of the worst... Jesus Christ, handing me THREE fucking copies of this shit, it's just gonna fill up my wallet until it's so thick I get back problems from it, never gonna read it, fuck.
When cashiers ask me "Receipt in the bag?" from now on I'm gonna say "no receipt at all, I'll take my chances with ur shitty product, come at me bro."

you forgot about the warranty information which can easily triple the length of the overall receipt.
and the best part of the whole thing...after about 3 months the ink is gone off the paper. even if you put it in a safe place where sunlight doesn't hit it it still disappears.
although i must say that where i work at if you don't have your receipt for purchases that you wish to return or exchange you will not get cash back but rather in store credit. if you don't have your receipt your must have your drivers license. no license no exchange or in store credit...period...end of story. the computer system won't let us do it and honestly i wouldn't do it even if we could.

Checking my receipts...
Hmmm, 15% off at the polo ralph lauren factory store, $10 off $50 at Dick's sporting goods.... not bad, maybe I should try this shit out.
It will be the most stressful day of their entire minimum wage career.
Any interesting receipts from Iraq, like actual city vendors? Or just from stuff on base? Seeing a receipt in Arabic would be pretty weird.
Yeah well with the amount of money they save making shirts for 5 cents with Indonesian slave labor and selling them for $70 a pop, I'm sure that profit margin allows them to splurge a bit on the receipt material.
Also, Abercrombie and Fitch? Really? What is this, middle school?
Oh I know, I'm certain that disappearing ink shit is a conspiracy.
"But it hasn't even been thirty days yet"
"Can't read receipt, no refund, sorry lol"

Most receipt machines dont use ink any longer its all thermal printing on a special type of paper now. Hence why if you leave it in a hot place it will fade or go black completely.
But yeah 80% of that crap printed on receipts is so that when you "lose" your receipt someone can look it up through several different ways. Well that is if your nice and considerate. Otherwise I would just go by computer prompts and not do a damn thing especially if I got a manager call to come up there just to get yelled at b/c some dumbass thinks if he yells he will get his way.

I wear A&F dress shirts also...with graphic t underneath, dress shoes. Dark jeans. I look adult like. Never mind they carded me to see if I was 18 for the rated r movie I went to on saturday.
Just stare at this for a while and forget about me.

The fact that it is all stored on the computer systems now should remove the need for printed copies. What waste of paper, ink, time... fffuuuu
lgihts
Don't try and distract me. You got carded because of the moose logo on your shirt.
You're a bit older than me so that might have been true at that time. When I was in high school it was popular with everybody.
However I have heard throughout the years that if you're seen outside the united states wearing A&F, people will automatically assume you're gay, apparently.
