I always ask for a printed receipt. You never know when something breaks and you need to return it or you order food and they get it wrong. It's way easier to dispute stuff when you have a receipt. I'm actually surprised it's not given out by default in the US. Back in my home country it's required by law to issue a receipt.

Always? Like if you buy a juice and bagel, you are grabbing a receipt even if the exchange happens in real time? Why? I always do for groceries and wine (good luck bringing in a rotten watermelon and just telling them you bought it there yesterday), but not much else.

Yup. I guess it's just second nature to me since I grew up in a place where you get a receipt for every transaction with a registered business. It goes both ways. It's proof that you bought the item from that business/store, and it's also proof that you paid for that item in case you get accused of stealing it. And yes, I come from a third world country.
