Not actually a comic strip– but since we’ve discussed this a few times…

RE: CVS Receipts. Good idea, but then what do I do with all the extra leftover?
Some of those coupons were probably off next purchase ones, so that’s expensive wrapping paper.
I like the CVS idea, but you could mix in some other stores, too, such as my grocery store.
Somehow that’s just not the same as wrapping gifts with newspaper funny pages.
CVS is notorious for long receipts due to the ads and coupons. There are examples of people making halloween costumes based on them.
Weis, Boise Ed? They’re definitely giving CVS a run for their money.
Ah, Google tells me “Weis Markets, Inc. is a Mid-Atlantic food retailer based in Sunbury, Pennsylvania.” In my case, it’s Smart & Final. As I recall, the last time I was at Home Dfepot, they also gave me a lot of paper. I had to chuckle at Brian’s comment, too.
Nobody has longer receipts than K-Mart had when their stores were to be found. Buy one thing, pay in cash and get enough receipt paper to print a Stephen King novel.
I have a loyalty/discount card with CVS, and it turns out the settings you can access connected to that include “Send receipts by email only”. The next time I was there in person and finished my order at the self-serve, I stood there blankly for a moment waiting for it to spew out the usual long tape, certain that the machine had messed up. Finally the attendant cued me to just go.
“Nobody has longer receipts than K-Mart had when their stores were to be found.”
One is still to be found in south Minneapolis, blocking off a major north-south thoroughfare. I think it’s the last one in the Twin Cities, but it’s not moving anywhere for the long duration of its lease (twenty or so more years?) unless the city ponies up gigantic amounts of cash to talk them into it.
I think I last bought something there in 1986, though I may have stepped inside the doors as recently as fifteen or so years ago.
