People Share 50 Times They Found A Hidden Message Or Something Funny On A Receipt
If you've ever worked in customer service or hospitality, chances are you might've used a cash register at least a few times when on a shift. Cash registers often tend to freeze or sometimes even print out some funny-looking receipts. Let's be honest, for most of us, receipts might be the last place to search for a grain of any kind of humor, however, some joyful cashiers might disagree with this statement.
In fact, some cashiers like to get creative with the receipts they give their customers. Whether it's a "Love from KINJO" restaurant discount, or some funny phrases like "My grandfather has the heart of a lion... and a lifetime ban from the San Diego zoo" the people working on the cash register sure have a knack for spicing up the boring-looking receipts.

Out For Mother's Day Brunch With Our 1-Year-Old Daughter When We Received Our Bill

Load More Replies...Why don't I ever get a discount like this? I try hard to behave well and sometimes I even make it.
That should happen more often. Incentives like this work very well to encourage parents to actually parent their crotch goblins. I do not mind children existing. I also don't mind hearing laughter or an occasional baby crying. But I can't stand bad parents who don't care if their brats screech as if they're alone in the world and let them run amok and I'm very happy to live in a country where this will get you thrown out if you don't stop it.
We are retired and well off enough to occasionally secretly pay for a family's meal where the kids were well behaved, giving parents a little recognition for their efforts. It lifts us too.
I never got a discount for good behavior but I did sometimes leave a more generous tip when my grandkids were annoying. It's not like they are monsters or anything but most little kids have bad days. A random meltdown, don't feel good, a sibling pushed their button one too many times and so on.
This should be done in more establishments, maybe even say the discount out loud for one to hear if they have rowdy kids
While I like this gesture. I dislike the impression behind it, that Internet has warped perception of daily lives with kids that a well-behaved 1 years old deserved a discount.
I'd like to see this more often! By that I mean more well behaved children... Looking at those of you that let your kids run around stealing food from other tables...
How kids behave can make or break a parent’s day sometimes! I work in education and I’ve seen what happens when kids decide that respecting their parents Isn’t worth the doing on a given day!
With a kid that young, it's a gamble whether they're going to "behave" or not, and not totally something the parents can fully control. The thing they can control is their reaction to certain behaviors, but I'm sure if they immediately got up and went outside with a screaming child, they still wouldn't get the discount just because the baby cried out.
This Receipt My Dad Found
That’s pretty cool, I have to admit. It’s not often the customer gets a tip, but this is probably the best kind of one you could get, as you get to keep it forever! 😂
Problem here. Wouldn't this make the child devalue material goods?
So, what's the problem. People should devalue material goods.

Awesome! Once I got a bill in an Indian sweet shop saying "Be nice to Samosas, they have fillings too!" i thought that was hillarious

I Was Given The Ability To Control What Gets Printed On The Receipts At The Doughnut Shop Where I Work. This Is The First Thing I Did
I would accept my receipt for donuts if Mitch Hedberg was at the bottom of them.
Where I live food safety laws prevent dead people from handling your food.
Load More Replies...I actually did have to prove I bought a donut one time. I posted on reddit about my Boston cream donut that didn't have any cream in it. They said, "who cuts a BCD in half?" I said I cut it in half for the pic because I bought 2 and the first one didn't have any cream so I cut the second one in half and that was the pic. I was called a liar, because who buys two donuts and eats one the next day? Like no one has ever eaten a day old donut. It was fine. I took a pic of the receipt and posted it, showing I bought 2 donuts. Probably first and last time I'll ever have to prove I bought a donut.
I was thinking the same thing. This guy doesn't watch enough murder mysteries. He may need an alibi for a crime.
Load More Replies...I was excited to check out the rare albums at this new store that just opened called Hard To Find Records. I went there and nothing was alphabetized. -- MH
A donut costs $3.55? And then folks tip 50% on top of that? I'm glad I do not live in that town. Though perhaps they are amazing donuts.
It actually doesn't say how many, or even if, donuts; and if this was a self-insert card reader it might ask if one wants to tip, which may be easier than a jar. And yes, even I who often prefers gas station coffee would pay that for an amazing donut....

This Amusing Little Quip At The Bottom Of My Favorite Comic Shop's Receipt
Projecting Obi-Wan. "These aren't the droids you're looking for." "You will complete the online survey" "You will leave us a glowing review on Yelp"
I think this is based on the card Steve Martin used to hand people that said something along the lines of "You met Steve Martin, he was funny and very charming"
Given the style of the writing, I can’t help but think of the quip that Steven Sharp Nelson made at the end of one of The Piano Guys’ videos, “Cello Wars (Star Wars Parody): “You will like this video. You will not dislike this video. You will subscribe to The Piano Guys,” or something to that effect, in keeping with the Sith character he played!
That sounds like a really cool place. Is it like a coffee shop where you read comics?

I Recommended Some Of My Office Colleagues To An Indian Restaurant, They Came Back With This Receipt
Yup.. Have you tried our Indian curries?? They radiate spice..
Load More Replies...Two possibilities I'd like to throw out there: #1 Santa Clara has Levi's Stadium (amongst other attractions). It is entirely possible that there are foreign tourists in the city at any given time. #2 This sounds like an authentic ethnic restaurant. The patrons themselves could have jokingly asked for mild curries as they are "foreigners" to the spiciness of Indian cuisine.
Load More Replies...In a Thai restaurant we once went to, I think they had a problem with previous customers complaining about how spicy it was. My dad had to basically argue with them to give him their proper spice level. He wasn't disappointed, I watched the tears come down his face as he ate it.
Nah. I may not be Indian, but I absolutely love spicy food and will enjoy it as spicy as I can get it when I do have Indian food!
Dey. Reminds me of the Indian-Muslim Restaurants (Mamaks) here in Malaysia. Literally the first word that starts every sentence is "Dei". XD

Forgot My Leash, CVS Receipt To The Rescue
It's a huge pharmacy chain in the United States. They print coupons and "extra savings" on their receipts, so the receipts are notoriously long.
Load More Replies...Yeah, just what the world needs; more waste of paper and ink. Can't they just send the coupons - if not the whole receipt over the mail? Over here they do that. If you go to the hair salon, you'll find your receipt in the mail.
If you have a rewards account/card they just email the receipt and anyone can choose the option of no receipt at all (receipt options display on a screen after you pay).
Load More Replies...I switched to digital receipts only a while ago. I've saved a few trees since then I'm sure.
