The first receipt that gets printed out after any transaction is our merchant copy that allows the customers to leave a tip & sign at the bottom. We collect these at the end of the day to either add in our tips & as a reference in case a customer files a dispute with their credit card company for fraudulent charges stating that they haven't dined here. I need to be able to reprint this receipt just in case the first one gets lost, damaged, incorrectly printed, etc. Sometimes we run out of receipt paper and the receipt does not get printed correctly. Another time, the customer had left the merchant receipt on top of food and became hard to read. We are unable to reprint this receipt in case anything happens to the first one. The only option that's given is for us to reprint receipts without a tip or signature space below and we would have to inform the customer to sign anywhere they can at the bottom. Since there is no spot to leave a tip on the reprinted receipt, most of the time customers don't leave a tip at all.
