The worst offender I've seen for this is Circuit City. Not only is the receipt insanely long, it's a good 3 or 4 times wider than normal ones. All the office supply/electronic stores seem to be really bad for this. And I don't think there's any need for all the disclaimers and terms and crap, considering Wal-Mart sells many of the same things plus all kinds of other products, and has normally sized receipts.
Given how many receipts those places must print every day across the country, I'd love to know how much extra they needlessly spend on paper. I'm surprised some beancounter hasn't caught on to this and trimmed them down a bit by now.
