Would you like the receipt with you, or in the bag?
by Denise Sawicki on November 8, 2006
I don't really understand why people ask this. Doesn't it take longer to ask this question and wait for the answer than to just let the person do what they please with the receipt? Oh well.
I will think about that in lieu of the local election results which have my husband pretty depressed. It seems like everything happens in this world specifically to depress him. I don't like it either but I was too busy working at my regular job to be able to spend too much time campaiging for this thing.

Well, you want to know where your receipt is in case you have to bring something back...

Another receipt pet peeve....happens to the best of us.

I never really noticed or minded until you mentioned this a few weeks ago, Denise, and now I notice and mind (just a little bit) every time. It happens a lot at the corner Walgreen's for me, and that's a place where people get curmudgeonly about their returns without receipts, so maybe the store has instituted a policy of forcing the clerk to ask such an awkward question every time so all parties present know where the receipt went. Or, maybe people are just dumb.

If I'm not mistaken, I believe Walgreen's actually has a full-refund-if-they-don't-offer-your-receipt-back-at-time-of-purchase policy...

Adventures with Free Desserts
Four recent adventures with free desserts: 1. We had not much to do on Saturday morning so, against our better judgement, we decided to go to the furniture store, who had sent us a coupon offering free breakfast and a free gift to "preferred customers". Breakfast turned out to be doughnuts. Go »door to door salesperson
Well last night I had somewhat of a weird experience when this wacky lady came to our door to sell some cleaning supplies for $37 a bottle... I normally do not buy anything from solicitors but she had me flustered and I was cracking up at everything she was saying... Didn't want to send her away empty handed after her lengthy comedy show. Go »stupid water
I guess I'm just not cut out for dealing with anything the slightest bit stressful. Well, I already knew that. So we had our all-time record flood and it has dropped almost 6 feet since then but now they are saying there is going to be a second crest of the river even higher than the first sometime in April.

So, Darrell is getting really into cooking lately so I got him a pasta machine and this weekend we used it for the first time.. OK I used it... and it was kinda fun! Go »Halloween
We got some pretty scary masks at KMart. Darrin went as a "Crypt Creature" and Darrell went as a werewolf. That is actually me in the skeleton mask but you'd never guess from this picture. Go »
