Whenever I got to buy something, I usually ask for a receipt because it helps me keep track my expenses. In addition, I need it whenever I have purchases that need refund. I actually have a box at home just for my receipts alone.
Here in the Philippines, the government is in constant reminder to ask for receipts in all our purchases. This is their way of ensuring that the taxes on our purchase from shops and other business establishments will be remitted to the government. Most of the time, people don’t ask for receipts anymore because it usually take a lot of their time. Some cashiers write too slow and most of the people nowadays don’t have the patience to wait. Good thing, other business establishments like shops in the malls are now using modern receipt printers like the Epson TM-T88V. Cashiers don’t have to write your purchase manually but in just a few seconds, you will get your receipt right there when you need it.
