I just want them to make receipts that don’t fade away after a month......................
I don’t take receipts usually as they do not taste good but how is a person supposed to check his purchases?
All towards a cashless society in one form or another.
For now, a receipt to your cell phone and/or your email address. Shoot Bank of America (and probably others) have been doing that for some time now.
Every place you go wants your cell phone and/or your email address.
I don’t give it to many. Very, very few and I hate doing even that. Only a couple of rewards programs. Now I’m being spammed by American Express with ads.
Or someone trying to pretend to be AmEx.
Never elect to public office anyone who’s name can be pronounced by striking a tin can!
When I first saw this I wondered about Costco, Walmart, etc., who check off the paper receipt when you leave. Also how about all those people who do not even have a computer. I know they are there because I know of three families who do not have any e-mail. And will somebody tell me where the savings are between that small slip of paper and my printing a full sheet of paper in order to return a box of xxx? Liberal nonsense.
However, all the hundreds of disposable diapers that fill parking lots in "welfare dump" towns connot blow very far and are biodegradable because they are filled with poo
i dont know... I kinda agree with this in a way... So many times I tell the clerks to just toss the rcpt... and places like Home Depot, waste sooooo much paper with unnecessary bs on it. truly is a waste of paper.
-—The truth is that if progressive California politicians would simply let the market work, the decline of paper receipts would likely continue in a natural fashion alongside changing consumer preferences.-—
Isn’t that the way it is with almost everything? Let the market work - because it always works (but not painless).
Not surprisingly, free markets are anathema to the modern liberals; the control freaks who can’t sleep at night unless they have their nose in every area of your life.
It’s a tax increase.
Neither the IRS nor the Franchise Tax Board will accept electronic receipts to justify deductions.
legally, it is that paper receipt (bill of sale) that transfers ownership of the merchandise in question
If they do this won’t they have to give everyone free access to the internet?
In other words, ID with every purchase, email address harvesting with every purchase. The high-tech version of Radio Shack asking for your address with every purchase to put you on their junk mail list.
Whack job state run by hyper-controlling liberal freaks.
I hope they wait another month!! I’m almost done papering by house with my CVS receipts!!!! (seriously we got one the other day that was almost 5’!)
Don’t forget the mandatory printing of the California Proposition 65 hazard warning on those receipts.
paper receipts are a public safety hazard because of a chemical they contain called Bisphenol A (BPA) that the FDA banned from use in baby bottles. However, according to Alex Berezow, vice president of scientific affairs at the American Council on bla bla bla..

But it’s OK in S. CA for tens of thousands of illegal aliens to fire up 150,000 leaf blowers, blowing thousands of tons of nasty dust, dirt, chemicals, bio-hazards and pollutants into the air, into homes and into your lungs every day of the week...
What about folks who are computer illiterate? You can’t easily download receipts and organize them on a smart phone very well without skills.
Years ago I took a night stocker job at Wal-Mart for “beer money” - and learned a few things in the process. Occasionally, I’d run across a receipt on the floor and just toss it in the trash bin.
Some weeks later we were told to pick up and destroy any receipts we found on the floor. It seem the grifters would pick up the receipt, find the item(s) that were listed, pick up the same, and then go to Cuustomer Service for a “refund”.
Crap you and I would never think of turned into ways to chisel a buck from stores.
This is comical because they aren’t paper! It if contains BPa it’s basically a plastic... which most receipts are... they are plastic that is burnt to make the “printing”. A true paper receipt does not contain BPA
Do you want a receipt for your Snickers Bar and Big Gulp?
Yes, please.
OK, I’m going to need your email address and I need to ask you if you own any firearms and/or if your home contains any firearms.
