McDonald's Worker Reveals Why You Should Always Ask For A Receipt

For the most part, we don’t think too much about getting a receipt for our fast food purchases. If we’re ordering a Big Mac and fries at McDonald’s, we probably have a good idea of how much we’re paying, so we won’t need to save proof of purchase. However, one McDonald’s employee has talked about why you should always ask for a receipt, even if you won’t need it after you leave the restaurant. It makes sense when they explain the reasoning for it, so let’s take a look at why you should always ask for a receipt, according to a McDonald’s worker.

Lol as if the average McDonald's employee gives a rip about secret shoppers.

[@SSobotkaJr]

I happen to be an "average" employee for McDonald's, and yes we DO care about secret shoppers. If we get too many bad ratings, this forces our franchise owner to alert the area super or patch supervisor, and they come in after to see if anything needs to be "fixed" -- from seeing that procedures are being followed, to repairing equipment if it's broken, or right up to firing employees because they're not doing their job. Its always imperative that we keep our eyes out for mystery shoppers, because in this day and age -- especially where some of us depend on these jobs to keep our families and ourselves from being homeless or worse -- we cannot afford to screw things up.

[@raymondpok]

[@Lalo-ro9sg]

[@kevinbing2699]

Steph Bond the McDonald’s I worked at gave no care about secret shoppers. Until we got enough bad ratings and we all to do a training session and the franchise owner had to renovate the restaurant. After all this we started caring about secret shoppers.

[@MichaelP-ke1tm]

While asking for a receipt might get you better food/service, I find more often I have to check the bag before I drive away to make sure what I ordered is actually in the bag. After a couple of times of getting home and finding items missing I always check the bag now.

[@Floridafanatic28]

Same!

[@amykgolden-hawkins4242]

Aleatha Vogel - something I tell my husband and kids to do before pulling away from the window cuz 9x out of 10 something won't be in the bag And while on the subject of annoyances... how about when someone is told to pull fwd and wait for someone to bring your food out ... the driver pulls just enough to be out of the way of the window BUT hard for the person to go around them.

[@applebee6455]

+Blake Tonkel Funny, McDonald kitchen are more hygienic than 5 Star restaurants.

[@ZER0--]

That's because the food is bleached and has lots of nasty chemicals no keep it "fresh". Go look up a YT video where a guy puts a McD burger in a glass jar and see how many days, I mean weeks, sorry I mean months it lasts.

[@yeetimusprime415]

Why?

[@mangymangoe2558]

Oh I thought it was to use the receipt as a thing to put your fries on so the grease doesn’t get everywhere

[@ayyydrian4182]

MangyMangoe that is gross you know how dirty that will be by the time your food is done

[@Andysaid420]

I've never been to a McDonald's in which they made getting the receipt an option... They always hand it to me either with my change or in my bag

[@sidbrun_]

Nowadays all the McDonald's have a screen which spits out a receipt anyway

[@mrseenitherefirst3383]

Asking for them makes them aware of your gap status in the event you were an mystery shopper

[@davidmiscavige5663]

Hence the video said ask when you're ordering.

[@Rr4wrRr]

The only time a store usually asks you if you want a receipt or not is if you’ve made a small purchase. Like you ordered one thing, like a small fry or something. Other than that, they will always give you a receipt.

[@fairysistas]

Antone Duran I work at a McDonald's and we have a system where the "guest order number" is on the receipt. First a transaction record prints out after they pay, then their receipt with their number. When the foods ready we just call the number. Everyone always gets a receipt.

[@AleTitan]

But they always give you the receipt???

[@cjstoty4725]

Ale Titan They mean ask for one personally, so you can read it in their face

[@jaym2090]

Agreed. I worked at McDonald's way back in my teens. At that time there was only one receipt printer behind the counter, not one for every register, it was at the opposite end from the 1-2 registers we primarily used, and it was a dot matrix that took 10 seconds to print the receipt. Needless to say, we only printed a receipt upon request. I could see this kind of thing holding true then - though I never heard anything about this in my time there. There were a couple times the MOD had her suspicions someone might have been, but I don't remember it having anything to do with they did or didn't ask for a receipt.

[@djfourbar7953]

yeah so you know your order number

[@Kiwiwheelie]

Ale Titan or at least they're supposed to

[@hatchettwit]

Gonna depend on the chain, but also the location. I'll be honest, at Wendys I avoided giving the receipt. It wasn't meant maliciously, but I wanted to keep track of the orders. I give ya the receipt and I have only the sandwich station screen as a record, one which they removed after they finished their part. Sometimes I'd print two receipts during busy times at lunch so if the customer wanted it, they could take it before getting their food without fucking me up.

[@saffysaffyrocks]

I work at McDonalds and we always give people a receipt anyway because they need it for the number to collect their order lmao - and we’ve never been told anything about this mystery shopper shit, front counter doesn’t go to kitchen like “guys, i think we have a mystery shopper - make sure its EXTRA fresh” lmao, especially when it’s busy we wouldn’t have the time to do that.

[@yulianagtz]

Exactly 😂

[@lukecompton3171]

I guarantee you, you dont work for mcdonalds. they were referring to fries and yes " front counter " which is not what we are even called, does do fries.

[@tombie8763]

If they told you about a mystery shopper than it wouldn't be a mystery right? Lol

[@WRproductions98]

I worked at mcdonalds for over a year and in england it is a thing, you would get one maybe once a month and they always asked for reciepts and you woukd have to tell the manager if you thought it was a mystery shopper. It happened quite alot and we would have to ensure that we gave them burgers that just came of the grill and fresh fries. But also they woukd only ever order a medium meal. :)

[@kfcgravy5041]

saffysaffyrocks some McDonald’s don’t do the number thing, mine only started doing it recently

[@Monobear]

Hi I’ve worked in both fast food and restaurant business, and I can say don’t just ask for a receipt. Ask for an /itemized/ receipt. I didn’t have a problem with that when working fast food but the first restaurant I worked for would slip in appetizers or small plates on people’s bills in case some of the servers didn’t reach a quota. I caught this when talking to my manager one day, and a server was complaining about someone’s bill not being high enough and asked her “can you put a small dish on there that’s what the other manager does.”

[@NaiyaNicole_Artistry]

100% true as a former McDonald’s employee but I always got an amazing report and always give an receipt to everyone. I trained 10 successful workers after working there 10 months

[@warmandscratchy]

I used to work with a McDonald's Drive-Thru employee who said she'd always add something to at least one person's meal bill - she'd charge THEM for a McChicken and that was her dinner every night. If they asked for the receipt then it was "Our printer is Out of Order" There are far bigger reasons to check receipts

[@warmandscratchy]

+Fail Vault I assume it's because transactions aren't processed the same day with most banks + most people don't check their bank statements after every purchase. I actually overdrew once at Taco Bell because the transaction went through a WEEK later and I thought it had already gone through so I spent what I had in the bank already (even had to pay overdraft charges)

[@MayaKawaguchi]

Chelsea Baker that happened at me once at a rallys(or checkers). The transaction to forever to go through and it was weird. First time it did that

[@shanedaniel7]

Chelsea Baker She is so smart!!!

[@marealnamenott]

no receipt/proof of purchase means you have the right to claim the goods for free, at least around here, so "receipt machine broke" is no excuse

Chelsea Baker What a great girl she is! 😂

[@TRDogukan61]

Last time I ordered two filet-o-fish sandwiches, ones bun was stuck at the lid and the other ones bun was so hard I thought it was toasted but I kinda liked it lol. I don‘t expect quality from mcdonalds anyways.

[@isaaczerby2246]

At my location, we use kiosks so every costumer gets a receipt anyways, and the way we tell if we have a “mystery shopper,” is if we spot someone come into the lobby and then go through the drive thru, or vice versa. They check both for times and quality, so they always go to both.

[@lonman80]

I once worked with the guy at McDonald’s who worked in the drive-through, and he would always add a dollar onto whatever total he gave the customer. He would make anywhere from $25-$50 extra each shift and if the customer noticed he would just play it off like he made a mistake then give back the correct change. THAT’S why you should always ask for a receipt.

[@austinmorrels5401]

[@mangobird75]

I work at McDonald’s: this is such bullshit. We have to give everyone a receipt so they can’t ask for stuff they didn’t pay for at the pick up window. The only way you’ll get any kind of special treatment is if you’re the owner of that store or you work there

[@JackGeezy85]

[@trollonapole]

I work at McDonald's, and i can safely say this is nonsense. Ignoring the fact that we always give out the receipt unless its a drive thru order, we don't give special treatment to anyone whether they ask for it or not.

[@kevincozens6837]

Why would you not give a receipt for drive through orders? The receipt for the order should be attached to the bag or placed in the bag.

[@lukestoltenberg3836]

Considering there's something missing 4/5 times, this might be a possible method to make sure you get what you want, and freshly made

[@Spacejockey426]

There is another reason to ask for a receipt, and not just at McDonald's. Sometimes (or all the time, based on the fast food chain) the bottom of the receipt has what they call a "bounce back" coupon. Fill out a short online survey and you get a code number to write in the blank at the bottom of the receipt. Such coupons can be for free food items with no purchase necessary, with purchase necessary, buy-one-get-one free, etc.

[@veronica213LA]

[@harrison3927]

It makes them think you are a secret shopper

[@saraht6558]

That’s if they don’t give you your receipt like they’re supposed to then you ask for it.

[@Laughing_Dragon]

no, I think they mean you ASK for it AS you order, like right after you finish your order...or else why would they ever think twice, RIGHT after you even get the meal???

[@Phoenix2312]

@Enigmatic Destroyer actually makes a fair point - as MaccyD's has embraced new tech and more stores now have the pre-pay touch screens, YOU ALWAYS HAVE A RECEIPT REGARDLESS! Its how they track your order! So this information - While useful - will only work in older MaccyD's with a standard store front - If it has the Card Payment, Pre-Pay Touch Screen shit - Forget it! You will still get treated like dirt. HOWEVER! Nandos, KFC, BK, and many others are still embracing a more personal service - so there it will work...

[@sunmehsmile4504]

I got a Mc Donald's add before the video 😂

[@Phoenix85006]

There's also another reason to always ask for a receipt. One time I was at a Carl's Junior and the cashier seemed nervous and I wanted to make sure he didn't make a mistake with my order so I asked for the receipt and it showed a charge of $73 for one meal combination. He was going to pocket the difference! I made him give me the extra money. So always ask for your receipt wherever you buy your food at. They're counting on you not checking this out until it's too late

I knew a guy who was an assistant manager at a fast food restaurant.

He said their were not any cameras and they didn’t take inventory. I would think that has changed since then.

I used to work for McDonald's for 3 years.....and I've hardly seen any secret shoppers and we generally gave EVERY customer a receipt!!!! No offense but most of my co-workers and managers were kinda dumb and the buttload of stupid and homeless and mean customers meant that the overall experience and service and everything was DUMB. EDIT: *glares at like count* of course I know you normally cannot find a secret shopper, but I would VERY rarely overhear managers talking about a secret shopper report that was VERY dissatisfied. ALSO. you know the survey link on the receipt??? in the break-room in the back, there would be a printout of the survey comments, mostly complaining about how inaccurate their order was, or how long it took to get their food, and a lot about the bad attitudes of the employees. it also said that our overall accuracy was around 40%. if you did a really bad job more than likely the customer would remember your name and mention it in the comments.......and I've NEVER had my name mentioned.....

Karate Lebron especially now that a receipt is required for your order number so you can pick it up. Unless there's still MD's where you have to wait around the till still?!

[@Burger_pants]

Zak I have never been to a mcdonalds where you don't just wait for your order. you must live in one of those bubbles like the west coast or New england. Most places don't have long lines for Mcdonalds, maybe during peak hours before a holiday, or before/after a football game near the stadium or something, most places don't have that many customers at one time.

[@XLordProductions]

It used to work in the old style mcdonalds. Never in drive throughs or any experience of the future mcdonalds.

[@MegaPunkKing]

I work at mcdonalds too one with a drive thru and sometimes people ask for the number rather than take the receipt

[@pepperking44]

I'm a manager at a McDonald's, we know during what time frame and what the secret shopper looks like so we keep everything up to standard during that time, and we always give receipts unless they say the don't want it

[@yolkyegg]

There are customers who yell at me for not handing out a certain item they didn’t even pay for. When I ask them for the receipt, they either don’t have them or they won’t admit to their mistake. I mean, I have a screen that displays your order and there are no fries listed with your food, Nancy!

[@starry_ser]

Savage Eater DAMMIT NANCY. WHY YOU GOTTA SCAM THEM OUT OF A PORTION OF FRIES? GET YOUR OWN FRIES NANCY.

[@yolkyegg]

Hans Solo the majority of my coworkers are at the age of 24-30. Most are college students. It really depends on the branch. The majority of the people here are really nice and understanding. Some not so much, since there are people who are uneducated. Just because we work in Mcdonald’s doesn’t mean we’re not “smart”, that’s really rude. Miscommunication can happen. Once there’s an issue with a customer’s order, we fix it immediately (or we give a refund). Just don’t be rude to the employees.

[@jhanks2012]

I hate to break it to you ... But I don't think they "Just happened to forget that they did not actually order fries." I think they're just trying to get some free fries.

[@jhanks2012]

I guess I've just been around blacks long enough to know how the hustle is done ... Always assume the worst with ppl like that and you'll be right 90% of the time which is pretty damn good

[@mickeyjay8516]

They probably forget your items on purpose.

[@tiedyedowl8367]

I once waited over 30 minutes in a not crowded McDonald’s for my food. Burger wasnt as ordered and fries were cold. Asked to speak to manager. Suddenly it only took five minutes to get my food correct, hot, and ready. She threw in an extra medium fries too. Going to the manager, if it takes too long, or if you see the manager working a register-that’s how you get your food done right.

[@JohnnyLyft]

Thanks

[@Mark-qg8hm]

Yeah, I often go to McDonald's because I want to be treated like royalty.

[@NarutoUzumaki-fi9sj]

I/my mom has and will always ask for the receipt not to rate the fast food chain but to make sure they got the order correct because they occasionally got the order wrong by missing something, putting things in when we specifically asked not to, or giving the wrong order. However, I do love getting McDonalds but I frequently tried stopping the habit of it as it can seriously affect my health.

[@gman458]

This explains so much!

[@tear728]

I could care less. I just want my food.

[@hannahvaverka9279]

Do you want shitty food from underpaid workers? Go somewhere better

[@tear728]

In what way are they underpaid?

[@user-os2io9yj4f]

Well, at least you care... "I could care less" haha stoopid fuck Mook

[@eetuthereindeer6671]

Oh you could care less

[@habalaba7794]

tear728 straight up

[@christianmiles2448]

I'm employed at McDonald's and I've never heard of this

[@Susiebanks]

Maybe they're not supppse to tell you.

[@kittycake1294]

ELECTROCUTIONER I think it’s only in the UK

[@theonlyron]

Same here

[@paigem951]

ELECTROCUTIONER if your quite new it’ll be because gap buster visits stopped earlier this year

[@ChefLovesTech]

This is true, I worked as a GapBuster in McDonalds, they've changed it now so they always give receipts. Great for us now ;)

[@shanei3816]

I only ask for receipts just in case they forgot something in my meal

[@seanodaniels397]

so you can give the doctor in the ER a diagnosis as to why you are there.

[@internettroll7497]

Sean O'Daniels lol I just burst out laughing on the train and everyone is looking at me

[@brbweed6199]

Sean O'Daniels lmao

[@4yearsago592]

🤣

[@ironpanther2420]

Reminds me of this time at work a few years back when one of my older coworkers started having bad chest pains and we had to call for an ambulance. While the EMTs were checking him out, they asked him what he had to eat that day and he told them he'd had a cheeseburger out of the AVI vending machine we have there. They paused, looked at each other, and said "Yeah, that'll do it." He ended up being alright but I still tease him about that to this day lol

[@willa1299]

Yeah... this is bullshit. No employee making $8/hour gives a shit about their McDonald's rating, they get paid either way. Maybe in a perfect world.

[@jhanks2012]

Lol what? I was literally just agreeing with this dude's comment ... even ended with a crying from laughter emoji .... Did you maybe think I was being angry or something?

[@franciscouriasvlogs881]

I got scammed we asked for 3 fries and we got 2 we asked for 40 peaced chicken nuggets and got 20 chicken nuggets because we didn't look in the bag before we left so always do that when you are in a restaurant

[@123NiceBe]

Wow! I'll be a baller at Mickey D's if I ask for a receipt? This is awesome! My dreams will finally come true.

[@j0j0_369]

I worked at Wendy's in High school and this is absolutely true. Yes everybody gets a receipt, WE GET IT. No need to beat a dead horse people. It's when you haven't even left the big speaker and you ask for a receipt, it alarms us. Or when you get to window to pay and then stare at the receipt before pulling up to next window and you're in business attire and we can see a clipboard in passenger seat, we get alarmed. Most of the time we know what the inspector looks like and what they drive. The front register person alerts the back crew when they see them pull around. That inspector had the freshest fries that sat upright in the bag, best made burger and ice to soda ratio was on point. This is all true. May not work everywhere, most places know who the inspector is and sound like.

[@Blink_____]

That's dumb. Secret shoppers are hired to check on a business anyway. Who the fuck orders and meal and immediately asks for a receipt, lmao. That's some shitty ass secret shopper training.

[@shanedaniel7]

NATALIE JENKINS Secret shoppers are pointless because workers cheat like y'all do 😂

[@chrisbrown3549]

NATALIE JENKINS no. Untrue.very.

[@pq5005]

NATALIE JENKINS everybody gets a receipt tho.

[@goldfishd1237]

Thought this was gonna be about employees adding charges for no reason so you should check.

[@cheesygames5795]

The McDonald’s in my country always gives the receipt no matter what and the ice cream machine is never broken

[@LiveWithDes]

Cheesy Games the machine is NEVER broken???

[@deeznutz32108]

i live in america and its never broken idk why ppl always say its broken

[@Mmouse_]

In fast food franchises here, including Mcdonalds they give you a receipt with a number on it, when your number shows on a screen your order is ready so you approach the counter and take your food. This means, asking for a receipt is redundant, because everyone gets a receipt every time.

[@joewoodchuck3824]

In Connecticut it's state law to provide a receipt for every sale.

[@TheMickeyRaton]

joe woodchuck ok but specifically asking for one makes the workers think you’re a secret shopper

[@forgottenlegacy5608]

joe woodchuck Exactly

[@thestanlee1534]

LAS VEGAS SHOOTER hahaha

[@aye3781]

In California they usually throw them away unless you specifically ask for it

[@sudeturkmen8697]

I live in ct also I always get the receipt and I don’t even ask they always give it

[@ontherockswithsalt560]

If you're the type of person who believes they deserve 5 star treatment from a minimum-wage earner for a 29 cent cheeseburger, you might just be a McDouchebag.

[@stevenmantia4410]

on the rocks with salt 29 cent cheeseburger? Where do you live because theyre like $3 for the basic ass cheeseburger where I live lol

[@saintsfps5348]

its like 3 bucks for a cheeseburger but they recently added the 1$ burgers with just meat source and bun, atleast here

[@RobertoWhyyoucare]

We've had the 1$ basic cheeseburger (Meat, cheese, bun, ketchup, mustard, onions, and pickles) for a while. Actually, at our location they just removed the 2 cheeseburger meal.

[@Johntb100]

29 cents,What year?

[@vctrsone]

Damn son in NZ that same burger will cost you $3.58 USD...

[@sarahinman6989]

In the US, McDonald's stopped their mystery shopping program DEC 2015.

[@Nintron]

You get hot fries fresh foo- me a McDonald's employee: yeah no you don't 😂

[@oldtwinsna8347]

Must be some kind of click bait going on because the receipt is always provided at chains like these. Corporate don't want customers having to beg for a receipt as if this was some kind of mom & pop store that relies on the fraction of a cent saved on paper.

[@michaelsainas4633]

oldtwins na Yeah but asking for the receipt is what gives them the idea of your identity

[@jhanks2012]

I can't help but feel like none of this matters at all. Like no secret shopper is going to go and make sure to ask for a receipt even though they're going to be given one anyways. Besides if anything, if they wanted to do their job thoroughly the secret shoppers should not want the workers to know that they are a secret shopper so if what the video is trying to say is correct, secret shoppers would be the only ones NOT asking for receipts

[@Tiger12632]

i worked at mcdonalds for a year and whether or not you asked for a receipt you’ll get treated the same. how it works is, you don’t want your receipt? we throw it away. you want your receipt? we give it to you. we don’t go through the whole store yelling, “HEY THIS PERSON WANTS THE RECEIPT GIVE THEM EVERYTHING FRESH!” we just give you it and have you go on with your day this isn’t equivalent to treating you like royalty 😐

[@chrisbrown3549]

DeadTigerrr point is is..NOBODY SHOULD BE ASKING FOR ONE..AND YOU SHOULDN'T ASK CUSTOMER..IF..THEY HAND U MONEY..U HAND RECEIPT. THE END. IF THEY DONT WANT IT..THEY DISCARD IT W THIER TRASH.THE FUCKING END.

[@Tiger12632]

Chris Brown we ask because it takes a good second to print it and some people want one and some don’t so it’s best to ask and not assume what they want. i understand where you’re coming but company policy doesn’t change on how one person feels.

[@kathykearaandcolin6805]

thx!!! I'll try it!!

[@Missy-nl8mo]

ice cream machines at McDonald's are always broken cuz they don't replace them or the employees aren't trained how to put it together correctly after cleaning which is a 5-6 hour process to clean and put it back together correctly so it'll work ( used to work at one)

[@1337ofDiscreet1]

or since it takes that long, it could be the scenario of "let the other shift deal with it. i'm off now anyway so not my problem. meh 🤷...."

[@lisaheisey6168]

I've always automatically been given a receipt and never had to ask for one.

[@theseventhhokage5318]

Lisa Heisey Me either.

Once got a large Smoothie when I hadn’t asked, explains why. :D

[@Chrinik]

German McDonalds always gives you a receipt, sometimes they contain the door codes for the toilet (to make sure only customers can use them) but they always have the receipt on the tray with your food.

[@csyd22]

This is dumb , you get a receipt with ur order number

[@ccrf2010]

csyd22 but if you ask for one they may assume your a mystery shopper and go above and beyond to serve you.

[@FinlandForceTeam]

ccrf2010 why the hell would this mystery shopper ask for a 2nd receipt?

[@taylorthenatural5509]

csyd22 I watched someone throw my receipt away without asking if I wanted it. This is NOT dumb.

[@csyd22]

Taylor Sipp that's your fault for not speaking up and letting them do it

[@taylorthenatural5509]

[@tyriontargaryen6475]

Fresh food in McDonald's?

[@aaroncallahan119]

Tyrion Targaryen tastes just like the held stuff.

[@Weasel0539]

In the UK they've dropped the times that stores can have mystery shopper. Customers can comment using the codes on their receipt.

[@Abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzt]

Lol i got a pizza hut ad on this XD

[@eduardovargas1133]

Literally gotten a receipt with every McDonald’s order I’ve ever made in my entire life, never have asked for one

[@jackson5116]

I've been a mystery shopper for Maritz, Inc, and they're right, those are the peak hours they want us to do shops in, and we do have to provide receipts if we want reimbursement.

[@JohnSimpson36]

Quick tip rather than filling out a questionnaire for food on receipt make 5 numbers that equal something that can be divisible by 3 to equal 3 just by adding the two numbers i.e 59121 which is 18, 1+8=9, 9/3=3

[@jarryjayo]

Asking for the receipt does not make them think you are the secret shopper and I know this as a fact I only ask for the receipt because my local McDonald’s keeps screwing up my order and I want proof that I paid for an item.

[@jason_v12345]

I don't think the McDonald's down the street that I visit every other week is going to think I'm a secret shopper.

[@Me34912]

You Are Supposed To Get FRESH FOOD & HOT FRIES EVERYTIME, No Matter who you are or what time you eat there, that's what The Customer is PAYING FOR.

[@catgoeskek1307]

you get what you pay for there xD

[@nintendoplaystation7211]

If you want fresh fries ask for them without salt fresh burgers ask for them exclude 1 item on the burger they will have to make it fresh i get fresh food all the time Edit and if you ask for fries with no salt as they will still have fries they will cook the ones you ask for properley instead of rushing them out floppy floppy fries suck or half cooked P.S. Ask for no ice as the drinks despensors are made to keep them chilled more juice for your money less ice watering down the flavour

[@Laughing_Dragon]

not always...but also, never piss anyone off... **or less you get your burger or food spat in...or worse** had a friend who had that happen... was...fucking nasty... XD!

[@lukamagicc]

I don't think anyone ever said anything about NOT getting hot food???? How high are you

[@1010nm1]

Nintendo PlayStation the key words at our McDonald's was "just up". If you asked for something "just up" we could make it fresh, if you asked for "fresh" food the store manager would say "all of our food is fresh" and you would get it the normal way.

[@cheria9399]

In Hong Kong, customers print their own receipts off the self-serve LCD screen/menu :D

[@MetalMusicManiac]

It's common courtesy to get a receipt or give us the option to press a button of yes or no at the speaker booth to print it out at the window
