RANT! If I have to...I'll...

If I have to do this #@& convenience store/lottery shop one more time because I forgot to ask for a receipt [again] I'm going to blow a gasket!!!

I mean, how many times does a dummy like me have to do a shop to get the darned receipt???

You'd think by the 3rd time I do this shop, I'd remember to ask for a receipt, but NOOOOO. If I don't get the receipt on my next visit, I'm just going to cancel it.

And if you're wondering, I don't remember the receipt until I get home, so I can't just ask for a reprint.
I think it is because I leave with a lottery ticket, which looks like a receipt, so my mental checkbox is checked. "Ah, I have a piece of paper. It must be a receipt. Good.".....gets home, "Where the heck is my receipt?? DOH!"

On the plus side, you've got 3 chances to hit the jackpot!

Well, this will make you feel better. Often, I will not get a receipt when I'm buying a lottery ticket. It's normal to walk out with the ticket in your hand and hoping........

My lottery shops don't require a receipt, just a photo of the ticket. Didn't realize there were other shops like this in Canada, but I guess the requirements could be different. Are these winking owl stores?

maybe you can make yourself up a cheat sheet and put on it 'GET RECEIPT!'. I use a cheat sheet for all my gas station shops. I'm in the routine of taking a picture of the receipt while still on the location so if I forget I'll realize it when I check off my photos.

get a tattoo on the back of your hand that says "receipt" or on the side of your index finger if you want to be subtle.

How about when you get home and you can't find the receipt? I did this several times and decided to put my cheat sheets and the receipt into one envelope AND attach that to a clipboard. I had a portable file cabinet but that didn't work out as well.

I take a photo of my receipts while I'm still at the location. No more stress losing receipts.

When you walk inside and are still thinking "receipt, receipt" immediately put your car keys on a shelf. Do the shop. Get your ticket. Walk out without the receipt. Have a second key ring in your pocket with a note attached, "Get the receipt, dummy!" Go in. Get your receipt. Walk out to the car again. Go back in and get the keys you left on the shelf.

It may be convoluted but it will keep you from driving off.
