This is the version the trend started with. The receipt looks like a real thermal print: slightly grey paper, a torn zigzag edge, a monospaced font with dotted leaders between each label and number. Your photo turns black and white at the top, and the one line people care about, TOTAL YEARS ACTIVE, gets circled in blue ballpoint with a little "omg!".
Tips for the classic receipt
A photo with a plain background prints cleanest in black and white; busy backgrounds turn to grey noise.
Type your counts exactly as you want them printed: 1,204 and 1.2K both work, and both are printed as typed.
Use the year you actually joined. The years-active number is worked out from it, so 2016 gives 10.
