Do you want a receipt

But you need a receipt as proof of purchase, or if you want to exchange something such a clothes.
However if I go to my local COOP to buy a load of bread,I just say no I don’t want a receipt.
Many years ago I brought a crate of beer from a supermarket. The receipt fell onto the floor but as my hands were full, I didn’t bother picking it up ,thinking I didn’t need it.
On my way out an over zealous security guard stopped me and insisted I show him my receipt. So I had to put my crate of beer down and look for my dropped receipt.

In Lidl you have so scan your receipt to leave the shop, so you have to get a receipt anyway.

Seriously though, why are you still replying to comments nearly 3 days after your original post if the comments are upsetting you so much? Genuinely interested

Wow. Either you're an expert troll, or a massive hypocrite. Which is it?

I do agree that someone wouldn't typically be expressing concern about your mental health if they described you as "bonkers'.

But I also think that someone using the expression "bonkers" is probably making a lighthearted comment about your behaviour rather than a serious observation about the state of your mental health.

That said, I've reflected on my own earlier comments on this thread, and I will concede that you're right - we should not make assumptions about people's mental health, even when they are behaving in a wildly unreasonable manner. We simply aren't in a position to diagnose, and your behaviour may simply be a reflection of your personality. I apologise.

Has it occurred to you that people might be giving you the benefit of the doubt when they suggest that there might be mental health issues going on? It isn't actually an insult.

The alternative is that the unreasonable behaviour is just a part of your personality.

Could’ve said the same to you the other night when you wrote:

Save your posts. I am getting off this thread to go and meet friends.

I was a Waitrose checkout operator when they started making a printed till receipt optional. It’s incredible how many people said they didn’t want one (and how many then leave it in the trolley in the car park). With no receipt you have no proof of payment and it’s just baffling that anyone would opt out.

It’s saving the store a little money, not saving the planet.

I’m sorry but I’m not going to waste my time with someone who has a complete lack of ability to take heed when someone is genuinely trying to help them out.

Not sure what the relevance of me having been to Ireland, lived in Ireland blah blah blah is in comparison to your experience. It does nothing but indicate you are only here to argue with people …. Poorly from that response as it was completely irrelevant.

Not that it matters, but I lived there for several years actually. Your post was never about who who lived in Ireland or who visited there like yourself so you’ve really lost track of your own thread!

I can’t wait for your response, but please know I won’t be responding so I’m sure you can relish in feeling like you have “won” an argument with someone on here by closing them down. I just won’t waste my energy on arguing with someone who has no logical reasoning in their response to me

Well said. It's a shame that the OP completely missed the point that you made so effectively.

You literally said “I don't thnk it happens in ireland” in your 2nd or 3rd post in response to someone saying it absolutely does happen where they are in Ireland. A bit like most of your responses, others are twisting your words and “bullying” but you are equally playing semantics with them. Your latest post is a prime example.

People have been a touch harsh, and there was one or two comments that crossed a line I believe, but the word bullying has been thrown around a lot for posts that mirror that of your own. One or two comments against your thoughts you should rightfully ignore, but when the majority of posts are saying it’s you, maybe take a step back and hold a mirror up for a bit of self reflection.

That isn’t an insult, that isn’t me bullying or being nasty, I’m trying to be helpful. When an audience is divided massively against your favout, it’s usually a good time to question why. You can have fun others can’t. You can swear others can’t. You can criticize others can’t. You can say people posts are ridiculous but when others do they are a bully - definitely a pattern to consider.

Rightly or wrongly, you don’t be able to win on this thread but keep calling others bullies, contradicting yourself and others, saying you are leaving the thread and then coming back is not going to help your cause for what you say is a lighthearted thread ….. it makes it not so lighthearted

You said "I dont think it happens in Ireland" after I told you its routine here. That is not saying that you've never experienced it, it's saying that you dont believe what I wrote.

But when people told you it happened in other countries, you didn't believe them.

I need receipts for my business expenses when I do my tax return so unfortunately I don’t have an alternative. The information on my bank app doesn’t show sufficient detail for HMRC.

You said It is only the UK that I have experienced this in.

That’s fair, I think I just prefer to not think about everything I’ve bought 😂.

I dont say yes to the receipt anyway as I get a notification from my bank app before I've even sat back down in the car so in the unlikely event that it want the amount on the pump I could go inside and get it checked

So the same information as the bank statement, I think the pp was wondering how people checked their statement info without the actual receipt to see if the amounts were the same.

I can only see that happening when you buy something from somewhere that the till and the card machine aren't connected and the seller types the amount into the machine, like a food truck or market stall but I don't know if those places would have till receipts anyway

Pay at pump is great when it works, but the pumps at my local petrol station haven’t been able to dispense receipts for over a year now and you have to go inside to ask for one.
