I keep all my receipts only until I reconcile the associated CC statement. After that I keep only maybe 1-2% of the receipts - medical, large purchases under warranty, etc. No scanning.
That is an impressive degree of discipline! I'm envious, but I don;t think I have it in me....
I've been trying out Google Pay, tap the phone to the card reader and it does the payment. Next they will find out this is risky I bet.
Before our EV we bought gas at Costco most of the time and we never had a problem with their pumps printing a receipt. Still occasionally buy gas for a rental car and that’s where we usually run into the no receipt problem.What a great idea. I always get a receipt and gas stations are notorious for failing to print a receipt. So I have to go inside to get one.
I really only need it to enter into Quicken so from now on I'll just take a picture and avoid going inside.
Now my political statement.....with all the snatch n grabs, shootings etc in the country why are our police required to spend time on something like this. Maybe I was profiled and falsely accused? I don't want anything from Walgreens other than a written apology. And yes I have advised them that they may have a dishonest employee.
What would you do is this situation?
Yes it happened to me once. I rented a car from Alamo in San Jose and returned at SFO. At airport, they asked about the gas receipt and I did not have one. Though I filled up the tank right before the return. They charged me for empty tank. It appears was written somewhere in a contract which I did not read carefully.I am anal about getting receipts and now I have a reason why! I did just return a rental car and made sure to get a receipt for the gas I purchased. I had read somewhere, maybe here, that car rental companies can claim you return the car without getting gas.
This (short) video shows another problem we have swiping and pin numbers and theft.

Granted I don't rent cars often but never been asked for a receipt or charged for gas.
Most of the places I shop now provide receipts via email. That makes it easier to track with less effort.
The incident reminds me why I prefer self-checkout when possible. It eliminates a step in the process that is prone to human error. I seem to be increasingly having to assist cashiers with their jobs these days .

Having the receipt showing each of the items in the cart were paid for, helps to prove innocence.

I still get the paper receipt, and just consider the emailed receipt a bonus.

Three words: low hanging fruit .
I would do whatever it takes to get that police incident report deleted/removed. Not only would I not frequent that Walgreens, but I would tell everyone I knew in the area to avoid it.
The practice of asking for gas station receipt used to much more widespread in the past (like back in the 80-ies). Over time, I'm guessing they found that in general, it isn't worth the hassle asking for it, so it has decreased. However, I have no doubt that the fine print still allows them to ask for it and in some circumstances, or with some specific managers, or local rental companies, they do insist on it. Obviously, those are the companies to avoid in the future.
