Consumer Diary

Proof of Purchase is an interesting blog compiled of notes and observations jotted down on sales receipts. Recent entries are rawly personal even though the writing itself is dictated somewhat by the dimensions of the receipt. How personal can you get in the space of a piece of paper that tallies up $3.61? The whole exercise brings to light human interactions at the closing of small transactions. We forget that there are sparks in these financial closings, dénouements and private revelations. Plus, if you live in Norman, OK, who knows, maybe next time you’re ordering coffee at Winans Fine Chocolates you’ll be standing in line next to a certain “middle class 20 year old with hopes, dreams, fears and a visa check card.”
