Weekly Open Thread Keeps Important Receipts

Posted by on Fri, Aug 13, 2010 at 9:41 AM

The drugstore clerk had to fold the footlong receipt to hand it over, and it had to be folded again to fit in a handbag. The top and bottom are cut off here because it was so long it didn't all fit on the computer scanner.

There's plenty of good stuff to buy at this particular drugstore: picnic supplies, summer vacation necessities, cute wrapping paper, makeup, candy treats to celebrate every holiday, winter, spring, summer and fall. Which of these filled the shopping basket and generated a receipt so long it didn't all fit on an 11-inch Hewlett Packard scanner?

It was none of these. Nope, just a single pack of gum.

What was in your shopping basket this week? And where are you dining on Friday the 13th?

Superlong receipt, trees dying everywhere
