In 2010, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration unveiled guidelines for a mandatory menu calorie count to be implemented in March 2011 for all chain restaurants with 20 or more locations. Once these numbers were reported, there was no doubt that most choices at fast-food joints were just unhealthy ones.
Keep Those Records for Cash Donations. It is extremely important to get receipts and keep records for your donations. If you make a cash donation of less than $250, a canceled check or a receipt from the charity showing its name, the amount and the date of the contribution is sufficient.

Realistically, if you're randomly audited you're not going to have any problems if the value of all of your donated items at a place such as Goodwill etc. is a few to several hundred dollars, receipt or not. Anything over $1,000 and I would definitely want to have a receipt. Those 18-wheel trailers are often unattended, but you can drop off goods 24/7/365 and wouldn't receive a receipt, so it's not uncommon at all not to not have written proof.
