Whenever I go shopping for groceries or clothes I always end up throwing out the receipt at the bottom of the bag. I do not think that a receipt is art but it has a kind of narrative quality to it. A receipt tells a lot about the person to which it belongs. For example a grocery receipt may tell someone what you are having for dinner that night, whether you are buying for a lot of people or just yourself, maybe you are buying ingredients to bake a cake for a birthday party. A receipt tells someone what you choose to spend your money on and where. It almost even acts as a tracking device that shows where you have been and what you did.
