In the USA, business expenses are tax deductible.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
I used to like Mitch. I still do, but I used to, too.
People either love him or they hate him. Or they think he’s ok.
Is anyone indifferent?
What the actual f-
uck is up with th-
e hyphenation?
Have you never read a single thing of print media ever? Books, newspapers, and magazines have been hyphenating words to keep uniform blocks of text for over 5 centuries
Yeah, but they do it correctly.
Looks like tex formatting, they want each line to be the same width, so the badness value for hyphens must have been less than just using bigger spaces, which they also did
This explanation sounds very reasonable, and it makes me feel even more disgusted.
\documentclass[unholyhyphen]{donutreceipt}
Let me file that under D… for Donut.
…cause we all know what D is
I want to got to this donut shop just to get this receipt.
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.”
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
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.
It’s up to the discretion of the judge.
Friend had car stolen. Joyriders caused police chase but they got away. Police arrested friend. He had an ATM receipt time stamped from when the police were chasing the stolen car.
Judge didn’t care.
This is what happens when you rely upon the public defender. Not that many people have options.
Luckily, they’re not bringing ink into this, only thermal paper!
So, they made the receipt longer?
