Seriously, though, and I know it's a repost, but it hasn't received nearly enough mirroring bile
Receipts are very obviously wrong. Anyone - man or woman - after a day's Christmas shopping can see this.

The hardware shop you go into to buy your dad that new pair of gardenig gloves has a stupid bit of token paper about 1 inch square, whereas when you go to Maplins to get the electrical wire for your nephew's stereo they give you two sheets of A4. Sainsburys give you an acceptably-sized ticket though let's face it it's only because you've bought two bottles of Cava and a box of Matchstick chocolates, and then going into River Island to get your sister that jumper and they give you another bloody receipt of another frigging size. And do not get me started on Apple now doing fucking "electronic receipts" by email oh dear gods they need to burn, burn, burn.

A man's wallet is the same size - whatever the man, whatever the wallet. It's battered, and contains his cards, his work ID, a couple of pictures of what he thinks are his kids, a used train ticket and perhaps a fiver. It's 7 inches long by 3 1/2 high (yes yes, calm down), and it can hold the holy trinity of a twenty, a ten and a fiver if necessary. A fifty is actually a bit too big, the Royal Mint know this and that's why they're that size - to repress the peasants and make sure that should they ever get hold of one they ruin it's crisp lovlieness immediately if they try to store it away.

So the solution is this: MAKE ALL RECEIPTS THE SAME SIZE. I'd say 2 1/2 inches wide by as many as necessary high. These will offer enough room for your company logo, time, date of transactions, transactions themselves, and a bit at the bottom to say "See you again soon" or "Buy more of our stuff" or whatever sycophantic, idiot waste of ink that will only ever be read by the insanely bored in a waiting room, that the company deems appropriate, at the bottom.

It will have the added advantage that women's handbags and purses can then be adapted (they know, and we know, that every handbag however new is only ever on the brink of being replaced for a newer, nicer one) to have a dedicated receipt section.

Seriously.

It's an obvious problem, and we can fix it.

Unless you're some sort of cross dressing weirdo,
you should have plenty of pockets, in which to store assorted items of varying sizes. Granted, you won't be wearing your jacket in summer, but Christmas is in winter.

Invest in a pair of cargo pants, if you really must.

To be honest, I sort of agree with you, but where's the fun in that?

John Lewis put their receipts and guarantees in a little card folder that I keep in a special file in the study. I couldn’t comment on the others.

What is a Maplin?

Excuse me, sir?

I'll have my man clean it up.

I have never, ever been concerned about the size of a receipt
