Fast food receipts, bar receipts, atm receipts...now I just say no.
-The Knicks’ coaching search still includes a lone frontrunner, Kurt Rambis, whose qualifications for the position include a strong relationship with Jackson and a willingness to take the job.
4. "I get a receipt when I pay toll on the turnpike" In response to Reply # 0
and it saved me from a charge.
Toll booth @ exit 16W (on my way to a bowling tournament)... I give the collector the ticket and the exact toll, and get a receipt (tax writeoff for travel expenses). About a 1/2 mile later...red and blue lights. Cop walks up and asks for my paperwork. I give it to him and ask why I'm pulled over, he says I ran the toll without paying. I said I paid, he insists I didn't. I said if I have my receipt, is that proof enough? He said show me the receipt. I give it to him, he looks it over (I guess checking the time and date) then hands it back...then still runs me for warrants, suspended DL, and whatnot, then lets me go. I guess it was a ploy to see if I was driving dirty, but I never pay for ANYTHING anymore without getting a receipt...screw that "use a check as a receipt" mess. EVERY TIME.

7. "I care about my receipts at gas stations, but nowhere else." In response to Reply # 0
A few years ago there was a story that BP accidentally sold tainted gas all over the Chicago area, for just a few days, and it was destroying people's engines. BP agreed to pay for engine repairs, but only if the person had a receipt from a BP gas station.

especially at gas stations. don't know if anyone can just pick up and start pumping but i'm paranoid so i always get a receipt and immediately toss it.
didn't consider think about how back in the day they'd give you incentives to call out their employees for not giving you receipt and how much that's changed.
10. "they don't allow someone else to get gas" In response to Reply # 9
like that after you. the system pretty much knows the transaction is over when you put the pump back. maybe it could happen if you're at an old non-digital station?
I still see the incentives for some restaurants, but that's about it.
I've never liked having to keep receipts. so send it to my email and I'm good forever.
one time while out shopping with the kids, the eldest child made it his goal to complete a survey at the bottom of a receipt. talking about "gi-gi, we could really win $500". for like a week he kept asking if we won..
