 44-inch receipt from CVS


 Last edited Fri Aug 16, 2013, 02:47 PM USA/ET - Edit history (1)

 I use their damned card to get the discounts. In return I get ridiculously long receipts, containing coupons for things I'll never buy. Today's is more than a yard in length. I swear, you could write the entire New Testament on one of these receipts.

 Pfft.
 Oh, on edit: I bought a 12-pack of Coke, two 20-oz Zeroes, a box of band-aids, and a snack. 44-inch receipt. I say again: pfft.

 10. Is that why purses are so large?

 JK- but I unfurl several feet of receipts/coupons from my purse and can't throw them in with the recycling due to BPA or BPS on them.

 July 11, 2012 — People are being exposed to higher levels of the substitute for BPA in cash register thermal paper receipts and many of the other products that engendered
 concerns about the health effects of bisphenol A, according to a new study. Believed to be the first analysis of occurrence of bisphenol S (BPS) in thermal and recycled paper and paper currency, the report appears in ACS' journal Environmental Science & Technology.

I got one of those from CVS a little while ago. Next time I was there I handed it back to them and got 10% plus another $5 off.

When the drugs are paid for by some scam on the government then getting money off doesn't matter...hence DUmmy lack of interest.

And the whole time you held that receipt the CVS overlords were exposing you to toxic chemicals.  This will be the scandal of the century if anyone can figure out why the CVS overlords would want to do this.  I'm sure the Koch's are involved somehow.

Come to think of it, unions do create jobs. Companies have to hire two workers to do the work of one.

Typical DUmmie fashion, making a big drama scene over nothing.  Hey Big-Ass Bertha, if you don't want the receipt just throw it in the trash.

One of the side effects of those chemicals are large breasts. :naughty:

Her receipt is longer due to the EBT information.
