Always? Like if you buy a juice and bagel, you are grabbing a receipt even if the exchange happens in real time? Why? I always do for groceries and wine (good luck bringing in a rotten watermelon and just telling them you bought it there yesterday), but not much else.

Yup. I guess it's just second nature to me since I grew up in a place where you get a receipt for every transaction with a registered business. It goes both ways. It's proof that you bought the item from that business/store, and it's also proof that you paid for that item in case you get accused of stealing it. And yes, I come from a third world country.
