Depends on the country, depends on the type of restaurant, but yes, it does happen. Usually mom & pop places where the bill is really just a piece of blank paper with scribbles, and when you need an official receipt, it's probably just a blank one torn from a generic receipt booklet you can buy from a stationery shop. At most they might be able to stamp the shop name/registration on it.
