Unnecessary receipts

[jacki]

I keep all my receipts because I pay for almost everything with my check card. I then use the receipts to balance my checking account.

This is the correct answer. I record all my transactions into my PDA and balance them against my bank's site every few days.

I haven't tried to balance my checking account in years. I look at it every once in a while on my bank's website and pretty much assume the number is accurate. I'm talking about things like hair gel, soap and bottles of soda. How much are those going to hurt your bottom line. I'd rather let my bank steal $8 from me once/year than have to keep track of 15 receipts or write everything into a PDA.

Yeah, I noticed electronics stores seem to love to print loads of crap on the receipts and make them a foot longer than they should be.

At this hardware store near my house, they used to have a dot matrix printer and the receipt would be a full page, even if you just bought like a lightbulb. It was pretty retarted.

Blockbuster is easily the worst at this. I swear you get like 4 receipts and then 3 more pages of coupons or something.

I hate receipts too. The only time they are useful for small things is when you are doing an expense report(which BTW are major PITA).

It serves as a formal symbol of your contract. Sometimes there's fine print on the back you should read.

BWebb,

Panda has signs up saying your next meal is free if you don't get a receipt this time.

I work at a Sams Club and hate those damn receipts. They make people check them as you exit and they won't let you out unless they check it. This means I have about a dozen people every night come back and tell me I never gave them their receipt. I then have to act concerned and look even though they just lost it, the stupid people.

But I went off on a tangent. Yeah, I bought a CD at Best Buy a couple weeks ago and marveled at the eighteen-foot receipt that came out. That's a waste definately. At least Sams Club's don't have THAT much crap on it. They could definately replace the large logo with some small "Sams Club" type though.
