Post pics! It’ll make it more interesting. I’ve noticed pretty gratuitous receipts for Giant Food and CVS around here.

Because most of the extra area of receipts is one-time overhead, your formula strongly favors receipts for many items. To put it another way, try buying 7 items at Circuit City instead of just 1, and I bet its score will drop drastically.

Buying 1 item at Sears will get you several feet of receipts.

Large numbers of items may deflate the score of a receipt. To be scientific buy the same number of items at every spot.

Best Buy may well be the world’s worst offender in this category.

I feel pretty special when I get receipts with the pink “you’re running out of paper” stripes on them.
