Is it just me? Pete | October 15th, 2009

Is it just me, or are receipts getting out of hand? I bought one item (one!) at the store the other day and the receipt is almost 3 FEET long. No kidding.

I’d be curious to hear if this is just a US phenomenon or a worldwide epidemic…

Pete- Imagine if you bought *gasp!* 3 items… From different parts of the store. Triple the coupons!

By the way – ever notice the coupons you get are never for the item you bought?

It the American ‘super size ‘ mentality…. They’re excessive here in New Zealand too, but not so much you could jump robe with them….

Jeez and I thought the ReNu logo was bad enough by itself.

I always wondered why they don’t just email your receipt to you, or store it online.

They know who you are if you use your CVS card, anyways.

I think the bausch and lomb logo revolves around “ray of light into a optical instrument”

It’s just our way of conserving resources.

The receipt has become (yet another) marketing vehicle, and the coupons are designed to get you back in the store… did you notice that one of your coupons is $1.50 off your next purchase at CVS? I’ll take it if you don’t want it :^)
