Lol this thread is so fucking full of scammer posts I can't even.
TL;DR -
If someone has your receipts they have your payment details, which means they can do social engineering on both the store, payment processor and your bank.
Most receipts contains the last 4 digits of your Credit Card, most payment services and otherwise asks for those 4 digits to verify you. If they need further information they can just call the above mentioned 3 places (as well as other services they know you to use) repeatedly until a CS agent accidentally leaks the information. Then they can use that additional information to trick other CS agents to give up more information, or even your accounts at various places.
Even if they themselves don't do this, they can sell this information to various nefarious places who are willing to pay at least a few dollars for incomplete phishing information like this.

ANYONE ASKING FOR RECEIPTS THAT IS NOT A VERIFIED CUSTOMER SERVICE AGENT OF THE COMPANY/SERVICE YOU ARE TRYING TO CONTACT IS A SCAMMER.
TO GIVE THEM SAID RECEIPTS IS *DANGEROUS* AND PUTS YOU AT RISK OF IDENTITY THEFT AND MANY OTHER KINDS OF THEFT (ACCOUNT THEFT, CC THEFT, BANK ACCOUNT THEFT, ETC...)
And yes, everyone in this thread going "Lol I don't see why people are afraid of giving recipes" and "Lol people just want 100% free and are afraid of supporting authors" is just the same person(s) sockpuppeting and trying to trick people into sharing said phish-able payment details.
