For what it's worth, at my airline, we never see the fuel slip. The bowser comes up, and fuel us, then goes off to the next plane.
Let me guess... Air Canada?

Let's not get carried away. If you asked for 10,000kg and you got it on the gauges, there's a pretty good chance your "litres added" check will be OK. If the 3%/5% check subsequently doesn't work out, who cares? Ground the aeroplane until the engineers or your FO does a dip, and then launch!
PS: I was in 0A first!
