A donut receipt is an alibi. Just saying.

I used to like Mitch. I still do, but I used to, too.

Luckily, they're not bringing ink into this, only thermal paper!

• 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.

The actual answer is for reimbursement, for example if you're buying them for a work meeting or something.

Let me file that under D... for Donut.

Most receipts contain a time stamp. I could imagine a scenario where someone claimed Mitch (if he was still here) was involved in a crime and he could use the donut receipt as proof of innocence.

I usually get a reciept, but that's because I like to scan/archive them and keep track of how prices change over time

What the actual f-

e hyphenation?

I get a receipt for everything, that way if anyone asks if I have the receipt, the answer is always yes, not gee was this one of the things I thought was too inconsequential to keep the receipt for.

Also, if I'm ever audited by the IRS I'm going to inundate them with so many receipts, they'll owe ME money when it's over.

Travel expense reimbursement

though many companies have a "no receipt required if under $xyz" policy.

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?

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)

So, they made the receipt longer?

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.

I somehow hoped for donut recipes.

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.

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."

In the USA, business expenses are tax deductible.

I miss not caring about my budget. I also don't miss not caring about my budget.

Have you paid your yearly donut tax?

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.
