Encoding your WiFi access point password into a QR code

Seems like the obvious thing would be to have the QR code contain a "receipt ID" (UUID?) in a URL.

When the QR code is scanned, the browser opens to the URL, the remote side takes your "receipt ID", and presents you with a list of all the items you purchased.

I can't imagine any decent-sized retailer isn't already maintaining records like this.

See, one of the useful properties of a paper receipt is that, once you receive it, you can be fairly confident about the ~one way you're going to lose it

Two ways. Receipts fade, sometimes very quickly.
