On occasion, you'll see a receipt used in unexpected ways. Cheap customers leave a joke instead of a tip. Restaurants make comments about their customers. Strange requests are passed from customer to restaurant, and vice versa. Here's a whole collection of unusual restaurant receipts we collected for your entertainment. And remember: read your receipts closely. You might be surprised by what you find on it.
Whenever you walk into a restaurant, you're entering into a contract with the company or person who runs it. They'll provide you with food, and you'll provide them with money at the end of your meal. That transaction happens via the production of a bill and a receipt for posterity.
Usually, the receipt is just a record of the amount you've spent, and an opportunity for you provide the serving staff with a tip if you feel that they've done a good job. Some service staff depend on tips in order to keep their bills paid, so they're always grateful.
Over the years, weve seen so many food trends come and go, such as ramen burgers, matcha, and spiked ice-cream. Nowadays, were seeing another trend making waves in the food industry. How many times today have you seen an Instagram photo of a scoop of black ice cream, or a cup of black yogurt, or hamburgers with black buns? Indeed, the charcoal trend has taken the world by storm.
So, what gives your latte that deep black shade? Activated charcoal, or coconut ash, is produced by heating coconut shells to insanely high temperatures until theyre burnt to a crisp. The ashes are then increased in size by steaming at high temperatures. Through this process, the ashes become a strong detoxifier, mostly because they become extra absorbent. This product may be purchased in pill form, and promises to alleviate hangovers, minimize the effects of food poisoning, and fight the visible signs of aging.
Activated charcoal is said to boost ones energy as a result of decreasing toxins in the body. However, no evidence proves that detoxifying can lead to increased energy. Also, while it can help cure a hangover, it doesnt necessarily remove alcohol from your blood. It is also said to aid in debloating your stomach because it cleanses your colon but again, this all anecdotal and isnt supported by scientific evidence as of yet. All we can say for sure is that it is a proven detoxifier.
