I have needed to utilize the warranty of many products.  In all of them, a 
reasonable COPY of the original receipt was adequate.   In warranty issues, I 
have found that an itemized WRITTEN receipt is accepted more readily than a 
version from the cash register.
If you're going to surrender an ORIGINAL of ANY document, you should always 
keep several copies for yourself.

True.  I can imagine that a lot of people just don't think that all the 
preparation to send in for the small rebates is worth the time and hassle.
