Receipt = which article

Does it make a huge difference which article I use below for "receipt" or they're almost inter-changeable (can I use both)?
i) I dropped by Wal-Mart, bought some goods, got a receipt and walked out.

Thank you in advancement.

No real difference. We don't use the word 'goods' much. More natural is eg things / items / stuff.
