I do occasionaly buy a donut, but never for myself. So I cary it around with me for a while, often visiting other shops with it. I’d rather have a receipt with me, don’t need any funny experiences.
So, they made the receipt longer?
I miss not caring about my budget. I also don’t miss not caring about my budget.
I want to got to this donut shop just to get this receipt.
In the USA, business expenses are tax deductible.
The actual answer is for reimbursement, for example if you’re buying them for a work meeting or something.
Sure … but a single donut?
Honestly the process for getting reimbursed is annoying enough that I’m only going to do it for stuff that’s more than $10. I don’t need to be reimbursed often though
In my part of the world, the receipt proves that the sale was entered into the tax record, so the seller is not cheating on taxes by understating revenue.
Have you paid your yearly donut tax?
I never take receipts for food because even if the food is awful, I’m not returning it. They might just serve it to someone else, and I don’t want to contribute to that.
It’s a critical health code violation to take the served food back into the kitchen, let alone serve it to another customer. Not that it DOESN’T happen, but it is unlikely.
The receipts for food aren’t so that you can return it. They are for expenses record keeping. For example, some jobs have a food allowance; or special tax concessions for food bought while working. But to get those benefits you need to have evidence that you bought the food.
You should take it. Especially nowadays. You’ll never know when you might need a solid alibi.
How could I have been getting an abortion? I was across town getting a donut. Jen L was the cashier. She saw me.
If I ever need to get an abortion, things are even more fucked up than I thought. I am a man. Though I suspect if men could get pregnant, abortions would be legal without any contestation.
If I have a charge for 7 cents on my work CC and no receipt, I have to go through the seven layers of hell to beg for clemency.
I once spent over an hour trying to get a receipt for a refund that was higher than expected. (error in our companies favor)
You can buy donuts with you company card? Lucky
This person has never had to file an expense claim for meals that are paid by the employer.
Yes, it’s only a dollar or two. But it’s a dollar or two that my employer has to pay extra.
I once picked up one of those dirt cheap breakfast toasts from burger King. My expense report stated “Worst breakfast ever. Never again.”
- Sir, you can’t leave without paying for that donut.
- But I just paid for it! Here’s the receipt.
And that’s why you need a receipt for a donut.
Hold it. Did you pay for that receipt?
I had a friend who liked to sulk around in a trench coat. He bought a grocery store donut and promptly tossed the receipt.
He was soon stopped by grocery security for theft. After some hassle they tracked down his receipt and let him go, but yeah that’s what donut receipts are for.
You can see how the main issue wasn’t the receipt, right?
Quickly stuffs donut into mouth.
Wfathf Donutfff?
Punches man in stomach. Donut comes out.
eat the chewed donut problem solved
Ewwww.
I usually get a reciept, but that’s because I like to scan/archive them and keep track of how prices change over time
A donut receipt is an alibi. Just saying.
A donut receipt is an alibi.
Makes me wonder if there is a market for receipts as alibis
I came here to buy an alibi, and you’re trying to sell me wonder.
You’ll get an alibi receipt for your alibi receipt btw
And can sell that receipt to someone else who nerds a receipt. It’s not a pyramid scheme
Do you remember a time where the receipt had the name of the store, the time and date of the purchase, an itemized list of what you bought, and the tax you paid and nothing else?
Nowadays there’s also a transaction id, a qr code, a coupon for your next purchase, a quote of the day, a novel, and some ads printed on there. My last order of french fries came with a piece of paper that is longer than my forearm. Ikea spits out half a metre of thermal paper when I order 2 hot dogs. Whyyyu?
What you guys doing over there? Ours are just itemised lists, payment method, and the transaction details etc. And usually a “how did we do” link.
