Receipts at the Co-op

I didn't get one, not going to pay 20p for a receipt!

So you have no receipt, and no other evidence to back up your story. Hmmn, let me think about this one ...

I think you are talking utter rubbish!

I always get asked this at my Co-Op, if I spend a small amount, I usually say no but never had any issue with getting a reciept if I need it.
Not suprised to hear it is part of the Co-Op's green initiative though

More likely to be to save ink rather than paper isn't it? After all, a non-itemised receipt is still as long (presumably it prints a column of prices without product descriptions?), so still using same amount of paper. Ink is the pricey thing these days.

I always have to ask for a receipt at my little local Co-op, and it is annoying that the till register display is not visible from the customer's side of the counter - if it was I wouldn't need a receipt to make sure I've been charged correctly.

That is exactly what the till does I work in a co-op part time. The whole ethos of the co-op is to try and be kind to the environment, even their electricity is green sourced. That is why the till only prints a receipt automatically if there is a discount item, a card payment or a higher than average spend. You can of course ASK for one and we will give you one. Indeed if after we give you your change you realise you need a receipt we can still easily print it.

Personally I think it is fab that they save thousands of unwanted receipts a day that would otherwise be put on the floor, the bin or just chucked into our bag or pockets on the way out.

I always keep receipts because I pay for everything on credit card and check the receipts off against my statement every month.

As I do and I always want an itemised receipt so I check the correct amount has been charged and any discounts applied before I leave the store.

I will go there tomorrow and get one, but I will expect someone here to reimburse the 20p as I wouldn't normally pay it.

No-one believes you. Same as last time someone came out with this rubbish.

Post your bank account details including PIN and we'll have a whip round.

Assuming of course that Mummy or Daddy Troll went along to the bank to countersign the paperwork to enable an account to be opened for a minor.

On topic, I asked a friend of mine and she also was offered an itemised receipt for 20p at the same Tesco Extra Branch (Seacroft, Leeds).

What absolute TOSH. I have been in Tescos Seacroft many times - and always obtained a receipt, whether it be a "normal" checkout, or a self scan. Never have I been charged for it. In fact, I don't think legally they can charge for a receipt.

Clarks Shoes is another retailer that (according to Mopinappan) charges for receipts:
