Giving a receipt keeps the employees from stealing. Without a
receipt, the employee could pocket the cash.

I used to stop on the way home from work and get Popeye chicken. One
guy at the window would charge me 5.03 (without ringing it up) for the
order. (That 5 bucks was going in his pocket) I bought the same thing
enough times to know it was 6.30.

After the 3rd time, I called and reported him.
