Obtaining recepit

CHRIS_D_3

Our local Costcutter never give out a recepit for purchases. The display on the till is obscured so you can't see what prices are going through.
They said it is up the customer to ask for a receipt.
I would have thought they should offer a recepit and it is up to the customer to decline.
In every other shop/garage I am given a receipt, although the Co-Op have started to ask if I require one... I always say yes!

Does anyone know what the law is regarding this?

Thanks for viewing this post.

As far as I know there is law requiring that a receipt must be given.

There's no law that a receipt must be given but any supplier who is charging VAT cannot refuse to issue one when requested.

Why are you making a fuss?

If you want a receipt then ask for one and by your own admission they'll happily give you one, if someone doesn't want a receipt then they don't provide one.

As for it being "the law" that all purchases must be accompanied by a receipt, do you honestly expect receipts to be given out by law when someone buys a packet of chewing gums or a newspaper or a can of Coke?

If this shop you're taking about was refusing point blank to give out receipts then fair enough, kick up a stink, but to make a fuss when you can just ask them and they'll provide one smacks of making an issue where there is none if you ask me.
