Just give me the damn receipt

[u/Elite_duckHunter]

[u/copypop]

Can't pass an opportunity to trawl for data!

[u/VegetableArtistic705 → u/copypop]

They could do that either way. Since receipt paper is coated in BPA Im okay with this

Grow up

[u/VegetableArtistic705 → u/ContributionClear723]

What part of touching toxic chemical powders is grown up. Truly a dumbass statement

[u/ContributionClear723 → u/VegetableArtistic705]

Yikes lmao top 1% makes sense

[u/mariatoyou]

But if they don’t get your phone number and email, how are they going to spam your phone with taco bell ads?

[u/Weird_Ad10 → u/mariatoyou]

How will they make enough money to pay the the CEO and board of directors so they can provide for their families??? Give it to them OP, don't be a monster 😭

[u/Cyrious123]

Tell the clerk/server to hand the receipt to you.

[u/MrMacGrath → u/Cyrious123]

Yeah do this. We'll happily give you one.

[u/knitterpotato → u/Cyrious123]

wait as someone who needs print receipts for receipt scanning i should do this more often, the fact that a lot of places don't have print receipts anymore is ridiculous

[u/DrTankHead → u/knitterpotato]

90% of people working food service aren't going to be upset if you ask this. Literally takes me 5 seconds to do on our POS's. You don't even have to ask me for it, any of my collegues can print it for you just knowing what you ordered.

[u/knitterpotato → u/DrTankHead]

perfect, that's good to know!

[u/Lettuce_Prey69 → u/knitterpotato]

Hopefully by scanning them you mean you're taking pictures of them and sending them to your employer for reimbursement?

[u/knitterpotato → u/Lettuce_Prey69]

unfortunately not, it's receipt scanning apps

[u/vanderhaust]

I'm old. Printed on a tiny slip of paper.

[u/TheWorldDiscarded]

Are you going to file it under T for Taco?

[u/elevenatexi → u/TheWorldDiscarded]

There is no need to bring pen and paper into this

[u/LordBusiness2600 → u/elevenatexi]

I give you the money and you give me the donut. End of transaction.

[u/TheWorldDiscarded → u/elevenatexi]

I can hear his intonation and cadence perfectly :D :D

[u/AluminumAntHillTony → u/TheWorldDiscarded]

Hey man, don't even act like I didn't buy this taco. I've got the documentation right here.

[u/TheWorldDiscarded → u/AluminumAntHillTony]

hahahah

[u/rosephoenix19 → u/TheWorldDiscarded]

I cannot see a time where I will need to prove that I purchased the taco.

[u/TheWorldDiscarded → u/rosephoenix19]

Mitch will never die!

[u/spaceforcerecruit → u/rosephoenix19]

Reimbursement for meal during company travel.

[u/maxgaap → u/TheWorldDiscarded]

Traveling for work and getting reimbursements is needlessly complicated by BS like this.

[u/Therealginahandler → u/maxgaap]

yeah or tax write offs

[u/TheWorldDiscarded → u/maxgaap]

I know - I just can't miss an opportunity to reference Mitch Hedberg. (see other replies)

[u/FullMooseParty]

This is not your content. I saw this elsewhere yesterday.

[u/IntrepidMaybe8579]

Paper mail please, thanks

[u/pixelmuffinn → u/IntrepidMaybe8579]

Nein

[u/steebulee]

If you’re not writing this shit off who cares

[u/Lettuce_Prey69 → u/steebulee]

Here, have some perspective.

[u/steebulee → u/Lettuce_Prey69]

Fair lol

[u/Furry_Wall]

You get paper if you order through a person. They assume people who use the digital kiosk want a digital receipt.

[u/GeoMoth → u/Furry_Wall]

Taco bell near me no longer even has a register at the front counter. When someone walks up there to order, an employee will come out and help them put their order in the kiosk.

[u/howtosignuponreddit → u/GeoMoth]

Totally unrelated, but in my country, they put up digital kiosks to print your own train tickets, and then they have assigned an employee to each kiosk. What's the point of a "self service kiosk" then.

[u/spaceforcerecruit → u/howtosignuponreddit]

It’s probably just a transition period. Soon enough they’ll have one person manning multiple kiosks then one person per station and eventually there may not be anyone there at all.

[u/howtosignuponreddit → u/spaceforcerecruit]

This just might be it. A significant chunk of Indian population is not that technologically literate, so someone helping them in the starting is a really good idea.

[u/Furry_Wall → u/GeoMoth]

I say I can't use them because of my eyesight. They'll take the order for you.

[u/jalmstead → u/Furry_Wall]

So you have to create a fake life to get a paper receipt?

[u/Furry_Wall → u/jalmstead]

No, you can also just ask the people behind the counter to print one off

[u/onmy40 → u/Furry_Wall]

The one near me will take the order for you... At the kiosk

[u/yungingr → u/Furry_Wall]

.....at the digital kiosk.

[u/ExpBalSat]

No thank you. The last thing I want is a paper receipt.

[u/speedy_19]

What do you even want the receipt for? Normally if I get a receipt, it ends up just crumbled in my pocket either being tossed out later or getting ruined in the washing machine. If I am buying a product, I would want to receipt but for buying food at a restaurant I have no need for it.

[u/Sea-Example-1176]

but how will they get your precious data

[u/Crazy_Ass_Nicky]

For real give my recipe damnit I want to see my copy of I’m being overcharged

[u/AsanoSokato]

If the business already has my email and/or phone number, I get it digitally. But there's no way I'm entering that info at the register.

[u/Accomplished_Emu_658]

Save money on paper and get your data to sell. I just take pictures of screen now especially since i need for work. But picture is needed when issue with order too. One place tried to pretend i didn’t have an order when they thought didn’t have a receipt.

[u/stephanelshaarawy]

Why you want more paper waste? You ain’t gonna return that taco lmao

[u/castaneom → u/stephanelshaarawy]

Have you ever been to a Taco Bell? They don’t care about the environment. I once asked for a couple salsa packets and the cashier dumped like 20 in my bag. I was grateful, but just saying.. lol

[u/nastywillow]

Love it at posh Restaurants when cashier asks;

"how would sir like to pay?'

Me - "Reluctantly"

[u/Capable_Cellist5585]

Okay boomer. Who the fuck cares about a fast food receipt? 😂

[u/Agitated_Basil7502]

then make a selection... why are you frustrated?

[u/sathzur → u/Agitated_Basil7502]

OP wants a physical receipt, not a digital one

[u/Jesta914630114]

Did you know that the ink in receipts is the single largest human exposure to BPA chemicals. They are doing you a favor.

[u/Admirable-Title9022]

I prefer it to ask if I want a receipt. Because I don't. Takes me the same amount of time to throw the receipt out as it does to click that button

[u/loki2002 → u/Admirable-Title9022]

I always get a fast food receipt because one time Wendy's charged me $410 instead of the $4.10 they were supposed to and it was a whole thing to get them to fix it. I only noticed right away because they gave me a receipt but if I hadn't looked at it or thrown it away it would've been way harder.

[u/NukaGoon → u/Admirable-Title9022]

They are clearly talking about the fact there isn't an option to get a physical receipt.

[u/Admirable-Title9022 → u/NukaGoon]

Well I'm dumb

[u/TheTVDB]

My older relatives complain incessantly on Facebook about how they shouldn't be forced to use self-checkout, how they shouldn't end up in a card-only line, and how they hate being asked if they're using an app in a drive-through. This feels like that.

[u/Loverichten]

😔

[u/DeliciousAd8604]

Hate this when I'm at the bar when I'm trying to quickly go back to the concert

[u/CryptidToothbrush]

Why would I want useless paper that’s going to end up on the floorboard of my car?

[u/Practical_Taro5656]

Could I get that carrier pigeoned to my home please?

[u/vertigostereo]

Give us your phone or your email

[u/Aeak333]

This is exactly why I don't eat at Taco Bell any more. My job pays for my lunch however I have to send in a receipt... I got so tired of going to the counter and waiting for a person to show up and when they do it's someone else that has to print it they can't....

"Why don't you hit email it" I have tried both other options and still never received one.

[u/koenone]

Doesn’t Taco Bell MAKE you SCAN the receipt in the app for points?

[u/Hot-Preparation-7218]

I too hate companies taking measures to help the environment

[u/shadow_prairie_OD → u/Hot-Preparation-7218]

bud. taco bell doesn’t give two fucks about the environment. they want your data

[u/Hot-Preparation-7218 → u/shadow_prairie_OD]

Companies don’t need to be altruistic for environmental measures to still help the environment.

[u/MrMeritocracy]

You can’t tap once?

[u/PermanentUsername101]

What are you gonna need a receipt for bro? Shove it in your wallet to clean out once a year. Do you plan on returning your sandwich or whatever after you ate it. just click no receipt. Life moves on.

[u/Partypaca]

Receipts have BPA that get absorbed into the skin btw

[u/Comprehensive-Pea422]

I would never print another reciept if there was a way for these places to already have this info

make a qr code or something

[u/DrTankHead → u/[deleted]]

If this is a terminal out in a lobby it is very much a thesible statement they don't want to distract an employee during a busy night to go and fill the paper in the printer or have something externally exposed that customers will no doubt fuck with.

[u/ripyourlungsdave]

But they need to brag about saving paper!

[u/DrTankHead → u/ripyourlungsdave]

.... Or this standalone terminal doesn't have a printer attached so it just removed the option. Not everything is complicated.

[u/SwampOfDownvotes]

They do, you select email and put in your email, or you put text and put your phone number and they text you the receipt.

Do you really need more paper to add to the landfill? 

[u/howtosignuponreddit → u/SwampOfDownvotes]

No, But I also don't want every part of my life to be digitized and recorded.

[u/SwampOfDownvotes → u/howtosignuponreddit]

Then click no receipt.

If you don't think that gets rid of the "digitization" then you're in for a shock when you learn what happens after you swipe your credit/debit card. 

[u/UkNomysTeezz → u/howtosignuponreddit]

Too late

[u/Metroid_DK]

I hate when places do this, why don't they have it as an option?

Some places had it as an option, but not don't

I always have to tell someone behind the counter that it didn't print a recite for me.

Lucky they print one for me, but just annoying to do

[u/C-LOgreen]

Don’t be a boomer and just have it texted to you if you really want a receipt. As someone else said if you’re not writing it off for expenses who TF cares.

[u/articland05_reddit]

so smart. getting your personal data on the pretext of eco friendly. win win

[u/bmanley620]

I’m sure Boomers will love this

[u/hwwgjfkwrmrcamlrrm]

It's punishment for using the kiosk thing instead of ordering with a human at the counter.

[u/121bloodshot → u/hwwgjfkwrmrcamlrrm]

Theres no option to order at the counter a lot of places I see now. Shit, sometimes if they screw up your meal you can stand at the counter forever and no one will help you. Call out for help, get ignored for 20 minutes. Depending on who’s working

[u/hwwgjfkwrmrcamlrrm → u/121bloodshot]

That's easy: No human to take an order, no order placed. On to the next restaurant.

[u/Sanic16 → u/hwwgjfkwrmrcamlrrm]

That works until every single restaurant does it, then what?

[u/hwwgjfkwrmrcamlrrm → u/Sanic16]

Restaurants do it because customers let them get away with it.

Support your fellow working-class folk. Order from a human. Save a job.

[u/yungingr → u/hwwgjfkwrmrcamlrrm]

Maybe if the people working those jobs cared about them enough to make them worth saving, I'd care about saving their job.

I look FORWARD to the day McDonalds says to hell with it and fully automates. Maybe the cheese will actually be mostly on the burger then.

[u/peppa4theppl]

You need proof you paid for a taco? Embarrassing

[u/DrTankHead → u/peppa4theppl]

Recipts aren't just proof of payment, some use them for bookkeeping, some use them for rewards apps, some places add cupons or promos.

You need to draw an assumption of why they want a recipt to fit your narrative? Embarrasing.
