If you’ve ever stepped foot in a CVS, you’re likely familiar with the experience of leaving the store not only with your items but also clutching a receipt that seems long enough to paper a small room. It’s a mix of a purchase summary, a treasure trove of coupons, and, for those with ExtraCare membership, a mountain of rewards. In a fun twist, some creative sellers on Etsy have decided to embrace this quirky aspect of shopping by offering scarves designed to look just like those famously lengthy receipts.
CozyReceipts
One seller, named CozyReceipts, offers a fleece scarf measuring an impressive 60 inches, allowing customers to customize them by adding their own text. While you might want to tread carefully with what you choose to print—considering some of the unique products sold at CVS—it’s a playful blank canvas for gift-givers. This piece is priced at $20, plus shipping.
ReceiptWraps
Another Etsy shop, aptly called ReceiptWraps, features a humorous take on this concept, selling a similar scarf for $19 plus shipping, also coming in at just under 60 inches. According to the designer, “This distinctive piece is guaranteed to catch attention. It’s stylish and versatile enough for everyone, making it a fantastic gift option!”
These notoriously lengthy receipts have even caught the attention of media outlets, with Vox investigating why CVS continues to print such extensive paper trails. A spokesperson for CVS stated they are actively listening to customer feedback and have made strides to shorten their receipts in recent years, while ensuring that customers can easily track their rewards.
While those paper slips may seem wasteful, they have inspired countless humorous tweets poking fun at their absurd lengths. It certainly feels more sustainable to invest in a reusable scarf rather than opting for yet another paper receipt. In fact, CVS announced in a 2013 statement their intention to reduce receipts by 25%, stating they had heard customers’ desires for a paperless option. Although they have since provided customers with the option to go paperless at checkout, it’s ultimately up to the customer to request it.
So here’s to hoping that these fabric creations keep you cozy, even if those piles of paper might be good for starting a fire.
