BKaF - Brad Kovach and Friends

Whenever I go shopping, I ALWAYS get receipts–because I am a conscious shopper. If I become an UNHAPPY consumer, a receipt is always a good way to prove that you bought something.

Lately, however, I would like to KILL everyone that uses receipts that could double as banners! As I shopped guiltlessly for things that I do not need, but totally want, I started drawing a dreadful conclusion: RECEIPTS ARE BECOMING WAY TOO BIG.

I devised a formula that shows the efficiency of receipt usage:

A score above 200 is obscenely huge.

A score between 50 and 200 is great.

A score below 50 is commendable.

Wal*Mart

I bought a PLAYSTATION 3 DUALSHOCK3 Controller. The receipt had a brief survey. They don’t always include a survey.

• Area: 180.91cm²
• Items sold: 1
• Score: 180.91

Subway

I bought a meal for myself and a sandwich for a friend.

• Area: 191.97cm²
• Items Sold: 4
• Score: 47.99

McDonald’s

Bought 5 double cheeseburgers and 2 small drinks for my brother and I.

• Area: 123.24cm²
• Items Sold: 7
• Score: 17.605

Circuit City

I bought A SINGLE ROCK BAND GUITAR. This receipt is hideous. It has surveys, contests, thanks, thanks and more thanks, and a little part for what I bought. Hideous.

• Area: 335.5cm²
• Items sold: 1
• Score: 335.5

Your Turn

If you care about the planet, take action and tell a store how hideous their receipts are. I’d like to see some of your FAVORITE receipt scores in the comments.
