Would you like your Receipt?
At VFC we’ve always given you an option to take your receipt; we think wasting paper is a sin! Lately, you may have noticed that our cashiers are giving you a receipt every time you shop. Let me explain our thoughts behind this change.
We have, on any average day, nearly 600 shoppers go through our Co-op. We’re getting busier every day and try to reduce the amount of questions that we throw at you at the checkout. Many shoppers stay for a meal and browse through the store before and after going through the checkout lane. Without the visual knowledge of seeing a receipt with product from the store, it’s often difficult to spot if a sale is complete.
Although a great percentage of our sales are to members, many still are non-member sales. Without a receipt, those shoppers have a difficult time returning a product to us if something is wrong.
But… we’ve heard you! And agree that wasting paper is still a sin! So here’s our compromise.
We’ll automatically give you a receipt…
- If you are dining in—keep your reciept with you if you want to browse the store with your coffee after your meal. We won’t have to ask if you’ve purchased!
- If your purchases total $50 or more.
- If you are purchasing wellness or mercantile items.
- If you are a non-member of the Co-op.
Note that our receipt paper is BPA free and always recyclable. Thanks for your understanding on our new procedures.
