What a merchandise return receipt shows
When a store takes back merchandise it prints a return receipt in its usual register layout: the store header, the store, register and transaction numbers with the date and time, a large RETURN (or REFUND) banner, a reference to the original sale, each returned item with its SKU or UPC and a negative amount (often with a trailing minus) and the reason, then the negative subtotal, tax and return total, the refund to the original card or as cash or store credit, and the return policy. This merchandise receipt is a generic store return slip for shops that need to issue one.

FAQs
Why do return receipts show a minus after the amount?
Many registers print refunds with a trailing minus, such as 89.99-, to show money going back to the customer.
Where does the refund go?
Most stores refund to the original form of payment; cash purchases get cash or store credit, and returns without a receipt may get store credit at the lowest recent price.
What does RETURN WARNED mean?
Some stores use a return-authorization service that can warn or decline future returns; the message prints on the return receipt.
Are the example details real?
No. The store, transaction, UPC, card and approval numbers are fictional; prices are typical.
