Retail Employees Isn't Smart

Has anyone anywhere ever answered NO to the following question: "Do you want the receipt in the bag?"

Seriously, why do the 19 year-old dopes at Banana Republic (presumably) even bother asking me where I'd like them to put the receipt after I've purchased a pair of pants (or whatever)? I mean, where else would you put the receipt, dickhead? The only other option would be giving it directly to me, which would give me a few options, I suppose, but the best one would be putting the goddamn receipt in the bag!

I thought we were trying to eliminate the middle man. It's the 90's, you know?
