When My Saving Receipts Habits Really Helped
No, this is not a story about my needing to exchange something and actually having the receipt as opposed to the many folks who can never find the receipt when they need it. What this is is a story about habit and how sometimes they can really pay off.
Since I’ve long been in the habit of not just keeping my receipts, but also logging them, when I’m on a business trip like I was last week and I need to keep receipts for reimbursement or tax purposes, it’s totally not a problem.
This unlike my many counterparts on the trip, who had to return to restaurants or cafeterias pleading for copies of receipts more than once–or twice.
Some people may call my behavior obsessive. To me, it just makes life a little easier–like right then.
