haha, that is funny.
i've never seen anything that amusing, but my grocery receipts have their share of kryptic stuff. it can be a challenge trying to figure out what means what item, especially if i look at the receipt awhile after the purchase. like your store, mine has those shortened descriptions. somewhat unnecessary when you consider the receipt paper is the same width as fast food receipts (3 1/8"), and those manage to be more comprehensible. for whatever reason, my grocery store insists on having a 7/8-inch indent on the left of the lines with the item names. after the name, there's a 2-character column that has something to do with discounts, the price, a letter (almost always "B"), then a 1/4-inch righthand margin.
which leaves precious little space for the actual name. :/
normally it's just annoying, but this thread made it more tolerable. :)
