The World's Longest Receipt™

What happens when you walk into a store and buy every single item?

The total purchase price of everything in the store was $18,871.93

The sale price of the receipt is the exact total cost of all items in the store: $18,871.93

"Both an indecipherable record of a fleeting performance, and a comically exhaustive catalogue in an age of decentralized stores and unseen inventories, “The World’s Longest Receipt (TM)” from the short-lived artist collective Store Buyout Team could hold its own with the best of contemporary conceptual art." - BlouinARTINFO
