    Never got one in Coop. But do a quick add up before I get to the till just in case. Quite a few times they have had to go look at the shelf and amend items on offer which the till said were not.
  • Ours doesnt give them, they put them in the bin. You have to ask if you want it.
    A minute at the till, a lifetime on the bill.

    Nothing tastes as good as being slim feels.

    In my local co-op sometimes the cashier will ask if you want it and others you have to actually ask for it yourself or they just screw it up and chuck it. I always ask for it though as there have been a few times where i have been over charged.

    Our local co-op never give receipt unless asked, and then they are obviously annoyed at the delay.

    Every time I have asked for receipt, it has come with a money off next shop voucher, usually £1 off £10.
  • My local one doesn't give reciepts unless they're asked for as well, they go in the bin. I find it rather sly, especially considering the fact that myself and other people I know always have problems with my local Co-op overcharging for things!

    I've found that you always have to ask in Co-ops, in various different towns and cities I've lived in, I nearly always have to ask for the receipt. When I had to buy something for work she put it through, I paid, she gave me change and not the receipt, so I had to ask, she looked a bit huffy. Doesn't make any sense why they wouldn't give out a receipt straight away!

    Used to used local coop loads until they closed it, they knew i wanted my receipt so I always got it, out of town I sometimes have to ask but never felt this was a problem, I do shop and scan so always need the receipt. I always thought it was because a lot of people leave them on the counter/floor didn't take it personally
  • I use my local Co-Op on a fairly regular basis and always gets an itemised receipt. I like to check my receipt just to check their prices are correct. Very occasionly the receipt doesn't tally with the shelf price.
  • There is the option to say no to printing the receipt and I always ask. If it is a debit card payment then the receipt is printed automatically. Most people don't want the receipt and if I ask before printing then it saves paper.
