"It lists your groceries, your regrets, and a 4-foot-long survey you'll never fill out."

Why is it:
• 2 items = 1 kilometer of thermal paper
• 1 pack of gum = full terms & conditions
• And yet, it still doesn't contain your will to keep working

Welcome to the most useless scroll since ancient prophecy.

🧾 Step 1: The Anatomy of a Modern Receipt

Your average receipt now includes:
• Your phone number (that you gave under duress)
• Coupons you'll never use
• 3 ads
• A motivational quote from the printer
• And the ghost of your last raise, which still hasn't arrived

And at the bottom?

"Tell us how we did!"
YOU KNOW HOW WE DID, KAREN. 😤

💔 Step 2: When They Say "I Lost My Receipt"

Customer:

"I swear I had it."

You:

"Was it before or after Mercury retrograde?"

No receipt, no refund. But offer:
• A "chakra cleanse"
• A store credit for 0.00
• Or just a blank stare with light judgment

Bonus: whisper

"The universe keeps the receipt."
And walk away slowly.

✂️ Step 3: Weaponize the Receipt

Long queue? Angry customer?
Just keep printing the receipt while maintaining eye contact.

Wrap it around their cart like a "do not cross" tape.
Then say:

"This is the length of my retail trauma. And your coupon just expired."

💬 Paper-Cut Level Confessions:

"A customer tripped over a receipt I printed. I felt nothing but pride."
— Devika, Thermal Queen

"He returned with 17 receipts, none from our store. I said, 'You're just holding trees now.'"
— Kabir, Emotionally Shredded

🚨 End of Chapter Reminder:

This is satire, babe. In real life, receipts are printed. Feelings are not. Recycle both wisely. ♻️🧾💅
