Stock Photo - 07 January 2020, Saxony, Leipzig: A saleswoman in a pastry shop holds a bread roll and the corresponding receipt in her hands. Just a few days after the controversial obligation to pay receipts came into force, the regulation has met with criticism, especially from bakeries. Customers would not take the vouchers with them and the bakeries would have to throw away the freshly printed voucher right away, according to representatives of the bakers' guild. Since 1 January, merchants have had to hand over a receipt to their customers. The law on cash registers passed in 2016 is intended to combat tax fraud, for example through manipulated cash registers in shops. Photo: Jan Woitas/dpa-Zentralbild/dpa. - Leipzig/Saxony/Germany
