One of the traditional roles of the restaurant check is to allow
you to verify a) the waiter's arithmetic and b) that the arithmetic
is based on an accurate list of what you were served.  The new style
receipts make those tasks much easier.  If you want something
with less detail for turning over to your company accountant (a
perfectly reasonable desire), I suggest you write up your own
receipt and have the cashier sign it.
