In my band, we each initial a receipt when cash is involved. No one takes offense at this, and it makes the life of the person doing the accounting a lot easier. I can understand both sides though. The older I get, the easier it is to forget (even things like being paid). I may forget being paid, and it is feasible for the person doing the paying to forget having paid me. So, all he has to do is pull out the initialed receipt. If my initials are there, I got the money. If not, I didn't. Either way, we can see the reality, and move on as friends without any hard feelings.
