I have never thrown away a receipt but if/when I do, I will just call DavePiGarbageMan to dig it out for me.@DavePi wrote:
How would you guys handle this situation?
I have gotten a new receipt this way several times. I am not sure a high volume place like a McD would be able or willing to do it though.@sbobgal wrote:
I don't know why this wouldn't work, but they can reprint your receipt by scrolling back through the day's business...

I haven't thrown out receipts but I had placed them in my purse. If you are a female, you know that it will get lost in your purse somewhere. I don't carry a large purse. I can't imagine how many times I had to empty my purse to look for receipts. Now, I had train myself to put receipt in my wallet with my dollar bills.
There is a very large MSC that does not allow that. I believe another poster already mentioned that. So it would be breaking the guidelines of the shop if you ask for a duplicate receipt.@HonnyBrown wrote:
DavePi, others: if that happens again, go back to the same register and have them give you a duplicate receipt.

You went back to a convenience store after 20 minutes to get a receipt?You know how many customers could have come and gone in 20 minutes?. Are you sure the employee really looked?
Convenient store are just that ........convenience. Unless you asked for a receipt at the time of your CASH purchase, convenient stores usually do not print up a receipt. No one does there grocery shopping in a convenient store unless they are doing illegals![]()
A credit card purchase is automatic receipt.
Theory is convenience store have a high theft turnover. It you don't ask for a receipt, that receipt can appear later, for an employee purchase. Some purchases never make it to the register, although a customer has bought something.
So I have been there and done that. ------->I had the receipt rolled up in my hand with my change. By the time I left the store, the receipt had disappeared. The receipt fairy came and grabbed it out of my tight little hands. It was gone. It was a nicely bonused shop too. Now, I take a picture of the receipt before I leave the register, regardless, my own shop or a MSC shop. The Fairy receipt won;t get me again.
I was with you for the first half of your post but you lost me on the second half. How do you take a photo of your receipt before you leave the register? With the cashier and other employees watching you, a line of customers behind you and the video tape running, why would you risk blowing your MS'er covert status?@sojo917 wrote:

Was this a mystery shop/revealed audit? If not, I do not understand why you would blow your MS'er covert status? No regular customer in their right mind would return to a C-store 20 minutes later for a receipt.@HonnyBrown wrote:

I have read a lot of inaccurate information, half truths and downright lies in this forum so I do not assume anything anymore.@roflwofl wrote:

This MUST have been a revealed audit. While it is certainly not odd to ask for a receipt, it would be bizarre for a customer to go back to the store 20 minutes later for a receipt. It would be beyond belief for a customer to ask a clerk to print the records for the last hour.

Hubby and I were at a gas station on a road trip. While I was getting our snacks, some dude asked for his receipts from two days before. I don't know if he got them.
