Why was it so long, you ask? Well it had the store address, the date, the time, notice of a contest, rules and instructions for a contest, instructions for a survey, the survey code, rules about the survey, the items I purchased, the sub total, the tax, the final total, my visa number, a thank you note for shopping at staples, the customer service phone number, the customer service email, a website for if you want to work at staples, a warning about data removal on returned products, a GST number and a random barcode.
I had an idea, though. Why don't places like Staples, with their ridiculously long receipts, just print them on wider paper? At least then if they're long, we could reuse them as wrapping paper.
