I am sick of the e-mail transactions they want us to do.
Now think about it.
They usually send us a receipt at the end of the month.
I am a contractor and get hard copies for myself, my bookkeeper and the
owners.
I would have to print that out anyway......
Where is the savings?
Also record keeping.
Yes, I know, you can back it up, e-mail it to customers....
Pretty soon, I will be only in front of my computer.....
Day and nights.

Canada. A few days ago I purchased some lumber at my local Home depot.
On the Credit card machine a question came up before allowing me to
proceed. It asked "Would you like your receipt emailed to you? Y/N"

My God! Is the next thing the same way the phoney grocery bag scam has
gone? Are we going to have to pay for a printed store receipt if we
don't want to give out our spammail address?

After all it's all in the name of green planet hype, isn't it? That
paper receipt will kill millions of omeba in the twilight zone that
protects earth.

WTF is next?

I don't know how it is where you live, but our local Lowes and Home
Depot are basically retail store catering to the home owner, the DYIers,
and people who convert wood into saw dust in their spare time.

I doubt that only a small percent can find the receipt by the time they
get their purchase out to the car. I know that discribes me.

I download my card purchases on a routine basis and account for
everything so know exactly what I have purchased. So not getting a
receipt would not be a big deal. I know the card entry is as good as
the receipt.

HOWEVER, I have all of the receipts for tools and equipment that I have
bought.
