    What Goes Into A Foot-Long Toys R Us Receipt?

    Giant Toys R Us Receipt, why are these things so !@$% long?Toys R Us rewarded Greg's purchase of a four-pack of Play-Doh with an 18-inch receipt. Greg tried to give the senseless printing an inch of meaning by breaking down the components of his massive receipt:

    • Exciting Sweepstakes Offer: 4.5 inches
    • Essential Purchase Details: 6.5 inches
    • Gift Receipt Section: 7.75 inches
    Greg did not purchase the Play-Doh as a gift and did not need a half-foot gift receipt. Huge receipts are not endemic to Toys R Us—Home Depot and Kmart also print to excess—but do they have any use other than as shredder fodder?
