I mean why wouldn't you? Whenever you enter a supermarket with a trolley of items that you have just paid from another supermarket, they always ask do you have the receipt for those goods (meaning you need a receipt).
Why Do Supermarkets Always Ask You if You Want The Receipt?

My Foodland prints the receipt then asks me if I want it. I say no, and they bin it.
The mighty South Aussies, yeah!The people who check goods at the door and such profile EXTENSIVELY - if you look sketchy, you're gonna need a receipt.
If you look clean, aren't wearing trashy clothes, and don't pull the 'I need my hood up and my sunglasses on inside for some reason' you probably don't need a receipt. Like being carded - don't look 17 and you aren't going to be asked for ID.
This is true. As I have gotten older and perhaps slightly more neatly dressed, the default has progressed from:
(16yro messy look) = can I check your bag/do you have a receipt?
(25yro jeans/tshirt) = ignored
(40s usually a collared shirt) = "Thank you"/"Have a nice Day".I reckon another couple of decades and they'll be carrying my bags for me.
Stupid to ask for a tiny piece of paper, yet they give out lots of plastic bags! It's nonsense.
When at Safeway Liquor, I used to ask "do you want the receipt?" when I was wondering why customers were standing around after the sale is approved and the computer is thinking about printing the receipt anyway. Kinda like a "why are you still here?"
Most of the time they'd say no and leave instantly, like they forgot they could leave. And I'd just crunch the receipt up and carry on.
Other times they'd give me smart replies like "only if I can claim it on tax!" and I'd have to pretend I hadn't heard it 40 times that evening already. I digress.

oh man, i've heard that joke hundreds of times.
only if I can claim it on tax!
Depends on what the purpose they are buying for is really, stupid joke to make.
Receipts give you docket deals at coles for extra flybuys points
My wife keeps every receipt from supermarket purchases. Basically they come bulging out whenever she opens her hand bag. Its embarassing.
environmental sustainability
I talked to the cashier yesterday at coles and she told me you can claim flybuys on a receipt up to 10 days from purchase date. In theory you could just grab receipts out of the bin at your local coles and claim flybuys. A bit dodgey but could pay off for some.
7 days and the same store.
Now that coke rewards are gone, no more loitering around for coke bottles, watch out Coles receipts.
You can only do that twice a year from what I've been told. That's the limit FlyBuys allows you to claim points when your card hasn't been scanned at the register.
Who told you that?
Many years experience having processed sales and refunds in retail.
I think paper receipt is wasting. It damage the environment.
Servos never give receipts. I ask while paying, and sometimes then they still forget…

For small items, I only get the receipt if I have the correct money or am paying EFTPOS, otherwise there is that awkward pause of when you can go.
