places like Home Depot, waste sooooo much paper with unnecessary bs on it. truly is a waste of paper.

On the rare times I visit CVS (just don't like shopping there) I a) have to say "no I don't want to give you my email" and b) no I don't want to give to that charity today and c) get a register receipt the length of a city block filled mostly with coupons I will not use.

But I do want paper receipts. I don't want every non-cash transaction in my email. Just keep the receipts to basic facts.

At this point you have stood five deep in line for the last 20 minutes. I snapped once and told the poor clerk—no to everything I want to pay and leave.

I agree on important stuff for warranty and the few things that are still write off-able. but a quick stop at 7-ll for something to drink is a true waste of paper. I mean what can the reason be to keep a rcpt like that?

CVS is the worst at receipts. How did you arrange to get their short-version receipts? My CVS receipts easily stretch from Seattle to Los Angeles on I-5.

Checking out at Best Buy is the absolutely worst retail experience of all. First you have to find the product. If it’s in a locked glass case, you have to find a guy with a key. He has to take the product to the register. The check out clerk asks you 147 questions before getting to the transaction. “No, I don’t want to contribute to the homeless kittens betterment society in Zimbabwe.” You get the chance to save some small percentage if you have some sort of account with them. I know I do have such an account, but they can never find it and I’ll be damned if I will carry their little “membership” dongle around with me. I don’t WANT to be a “member” of any retail establishment.

Finally they treat you like a felonious neer-do-well at the exit door.
