Proof of Purchase

I've discussed the need to save receipts before. Well, here's a little story that highlights the importance of keeping those pesky little buggers. Recently, my very necessary and often used digital camera decided to pitch a tantrum that would put any two-year-old to shame. All of my pictures had horizontal lines going through them or even worse, a gray panel blocking all or part of the picture. On, no, I was not a happy Life Management Specialist at all. I promptly contacted the manufacturer for repair since it was still under warranty. The first question they wanted to know was if I had "proof-of-purchase". "Certainly, I do", I was able to respond. Needless to say, within a couple of hours, my camera was on its way for repair, at no expense to me (I even managed to finagle a prepaid UPS label). Sweet!!
