Crumpled Logic

I have an app that I use to take photos of my shopping receipts and upload them to get gift cards, so when I am asked if I want a receipt, I always say “yes”, and from time to time, variations of this keep happening:

Cashier: “Do you want a receipt?”

Me: “Yes.”

Cashier: *Crumples the receipt and throws it away.*

Me: “Excuse me? I said I want a receipt.”

Cashier: *Deerintheheadlights.jpg.*

Me: “Can I get my receipt?”

At this point, the cashier starts digging through their trash bin. Sometimes, the cashier can’t find it, and this happens:

Cashier: “Well, I can’t find it, next!”

Me: “So print me a new one.”

Cashier: “Why?”

Now, I can choose to say “because the law requires you to give me a receipt when I ask for one”, “because I need it” or “none of your business”, it really doesn’t make a difference at this point, the cashier’s reaction is to argue with me about how much of an inconvenience it is to print out a new one.

On the off chance that the cashier DOES find my receipt in the trash, I ask for a not crumpled one (I need a receipt that is legible in photos), and the cashier starts arguing that the crumpled one is fine, if I say I need a not crumpled one we are back to the cashier asking “why?” on repeat instead of tapping a few times on their screen to print the d*** receipt.
