Big R is Giving Big Receipts: I Believe Big R Stands for Big Receipt

If you ever read a story about Big R going out of business, it will be because they spent too much money on receipt paper. Can you believe this is the receipt I got from one item? I joked on Facebook that if I'd have bought more stuff I would have to have rented a U-Haul to get the receipt home. For reals. I mean, all we bought was one 40 lb bag of dry cat food and our receipt was a mile long. My grocery receipt from Schnuck's had 30 items on it and was a third as long as my Big R one was. That poor cashier must spend a lot of time replacing receipt paper. Holy moly!
