The size of this receipt — over 11 inches — seems absurd for 2 pieces of fruit. Why is all of this information (and blank space) needed on a purchase totaling just over a dollar?
Reminds me of the classic Mitch Hedburg bit on donuts:
“I bought a doughnut and they gave me a receipt for the … I don’t need a receipt for the doughnut. I give you money and you give me the doughnut, end of transaction. We don’t need to bring ink and paper into this. I can’t imagine a scenario that I would have to prove that I bought a doughnut. To some skeptical friend, ‘Don’t even act like I didn’t get that doughnut, I’ve got the documentation right here… It’s in my file at home. …Under “D”.’”
