If I find dead insects in my donut, I'd like to have evidence that I actually bought a donut from them.

What are you going to do with that evidence that walking back to the shop won't accomplish? If I'm too far away, I'll throw the donut in the trash. If I'm nearby with nothing better to do, I'll stop back and ask for a refund.
Nothing about that practically requires a receipt. If I'm denied a refund when I go back with an insect-laden donut, I can make enough ruckus in the shop to get my entertainment value's worth. I don't really need the $0.75 anymore than I need the donut...

Actually I would send it and a photo of the donut to the local health and safety regulators. I don't care about how much I spent; I care about not having it happen again.
