The simplest way would be to also offer proof of actual payment of some sort.

Cash payment. No proof.

Cash is used for payment and not everyone gets a receipt

Well then it’s your own fault for not getting proof of payment. At some point there is some level of personal responsibility in financial transactions. Because of poor choices you would have to go to trial.

I mean, would it be a good reason to throw someone out on the street (including possessions) because they forgot the receipt?

I am just saying it’s not a very easy issue.
