Strangely nearly all quick-serve businesses stopped offering receipts
about 18-24 months ago. (at least in my neck-o-the-woods) Their printers
were spitting them out mind you, but they would quickly just crumple and
toss them. I'm sure I annoyed a few cashiers by asking for it. I even
told one when they complained that perhaps *they* should ask. Their
response was, "I used to but *everyone* declined, so I just started
throwing them." I'm sure their boss would have been happier to know that
tidbit so they could turn off auto-receipt printing, or maybe that would
have been an opportune time to instruct their employees to just hand it
out and let the customer toss it if they don't want it.
(I honestly thought offering a receipt was required by law, I guess not.)
To be sure, I don't think any 'conspiracy against receipts memo' was
sent out nationwide, but it might be one of those '100th monkey' scenarios.
I got a kick out of asking for receipts at the local taproom for each
round. (paying cash as I go) One of the bar guests thought I had devised
a way to write-off beer! (certainly no, but it was the surest way to
keep track of my beer budget.)
Regards,
Adrien

Thanks for the illuminating responses from Stan, Adrien and Michael!
It reminds me of years ago when my wife had to start reporting her business expenses and
she had a hard time remembering to always get a receipt.One day I finally said "You
have two hands. Hold both of them out with your palms up. Just remember when your money
leaves one hand, you should be getting a receipt back in the other hand."It served
as a good visual reminder for me with expenses, also.:-)
