Receipts the size of Texas

THE ORIGINAL RECEIPT



THE ACTUAL PART THAT WAS THE RECEIPT


Holy crap--I'm finally posting. We got a lot done on our house this weekend so I might take the week off. At least from working on it. I really want to post pictures but I need to unload my memory card and reformat it and haven't had time. So I thought I'd talk about receipts

Has anyone noticed how FREAKING long receipts have gotten. I took these pictures to prove a point. Why is everyone and I mean EVERYONE adding tons of extra pointless stuff to a receipt. All I want is a receipt, not a chance to win 10% off if I do your survey--which i have never done. Or a coupon for $1.00 off cajun peanuts. Who eats those??? I've purchased a great deal over the last two months and I have wads of receipts. I needed to keep some for warranty purposes so I went through them and cut them off. I shouldn't have to do it. It's annoying

As for the pictures--proves my point. It also proves the point that I'm in desparate need of a hair cut and an eyebrow wax.

You are so right, the receipts are getting freakishly long, and no one needs cajun peanuts. I've succeeded in not clipping coupons by pretending they don't exist, and then they have to go give me five of them at the checkout? Yuck.

The pictures show us you're so witty. That bemused smile...that skeptical "see here" you do with your eyes.

I am looking forward to seeing pictures, but mostly to regular posting from the Cool one again!

i agree that receipts suck! and yet you have to have them for returns and warranty purposes. and what totally ticks me off is that they fade. and they won;t give you your money back if you can see the stuff you need to return but not the scan bar at the bottom , what happened to nice paper receipts? not these lame , fade in the car, ruin in your purse laser things that they call receipts? and the gay gift receipt adds to the junk they hand you. i am buying diapers! no they aren't a freaking gift. i only need the one receipt! good post! glad you are back !
