Oh. OK.  I think I understand now - this side of the puddle, that piece of
paper is usually called a "register receipt", and if a credit card is involved,
we'll usually see "last 4 digits" (I think that's now required by VISA and/or MC,
if I remember correctly).

Which is something totally different from "receipt for a cash-based transaction",
where of course no credit card number has any reason to be involved...
