    • Sir, you can’t leave without paying for that donut.
    • But I just paid for it! Here’s the receipt.

    And that’s why you need a receipt for a donut.

    The actual answer is for reimbursement, for example if you’re buying them for a work meeting or something.

    In my part of the world, the receipt proves that the sale was entered into the tax record, so the seller is not cheating on taxes by understating revenue.

      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

      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

    A donut receipt is an alibi. Just saying.

    Travel expense reimbursement — though many companies have a “no receipt required if under $xyz” policy.

      Man, I wish that was the case at places I worked at. My last company would give you stipends for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Try to spend that stipend at a convenience store because you don’t eat breakfast and just want some coffee and a snack for later? Screw you, we’re deducting from your paycheck for that.

      I had a coworker who got caught on the wrong side of that policy. Since then, he’d always max out his stipend at every meal. Apps, desserts, etc. He’d get a second entree just to take back to his hotel as long as it wouldn’t put him over the limit.

      He probably cost the company hundreds extra because they wouldn’t reimburse him for a bag of chips one time.

    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.
