I was in a restaurant the other day, and paid with a debit card. The receipt of said transaction included the last 4 digits of my social, and the entire CC#! This is amazing, I can't believe this kind of information was right in front of my face, in mostly undestructable form, as well.
I could buy
a shredder, and shred everything. I could buy an incinerator, and burn it. But, I ponder more enjoyable methods..
This idea is to have restaurant reciepts that include pertinent information (and any reciepts for that matter) to be printed on bubble gum. I can clean my mouth after a chessburger and beer and rid the worries of identity theft all in one go!
Would you like soy-based ink with that?

Be cute if the bill came inside a fortune cookie. |
|
| |
HA! I've been eating my reciepts for years already! |
|
| |
Yes, but you're a student and have little else to live on anyway. |
|
| |
if you are what you eat, and you eat these, do you
eventually become a cash register? + |

I've been looking on here for the Chessburger but can't seem to find it. Sounds like fun though: "Quarter Pounder 3 to Big Mac 5" etc. |

Edible just about anything gets my bun. Like [boysparks]' e-receipt idea. |
|
| |
Accountants all over the world would cringe at this concept...."yeah lets eat the only evidence that this transaction ever occurred" |
|
| |
My friend does this. Crams the entire thing into his mouth in one go. Swallows it too. Does notebook paper also. I'm wondering about newspaper... |
|
| |
Well, with credit card receipts, there is a copy for both parties in the transaction. I guess their's could be paper, but I betcha they'd choose bubble gum given the choice. |
|
| |
Kinda reminds me of the sugar paper I used to eat as a kid. That stuff was great. And 'Kosher' too, apparently.

Print them on rice paper, like chinese candies are wrapped in. Totally edible and gluten free. |
|

Customer: "Piss off, I don't have any change!" |
|
| |
Bum: "I don't want your money. It's just that I haven't eaten in three days, and I was wondering if you had any documents you want destroyed. I'll eat them right here in front of you and all..." |

What about the bubblegum dentist-bill :)
I think he'll be happy with more clïënts |

What's up with the word "clients" in [Willem]'s anno above? Has it got the pox? There's dots everywhere. |

I hope it's not contagious. .. ...... |

Have I ever mentioned that with the new laser printed reciepts, you can blacken the entire sheet by leaving it in a shirt pocket when you iron. |

I heard several years ago, around the time everyone was
worried about BPA in water bottles, that receipt paper
commonly contains BPA. If true, your friend probably got a
lot more of it than even the most avid hydrators. |

What you need is a small sachet of cellulase powder you
can sprinkle on the receipt, which will convert it to
glucose. |

Instead of swiping a credit card perhaps payment to the
restaurant for your meal could be in eatable ingredients,
such as a bunch of carrots, a chicken, a handfull of raw
pasta, etc. |
