I was purchasing a Dare (iced coffee drink) from the boutique supermarket close to work the other day. The drink was scanned. I was told the price. I paid the money. A receipt was printed out. I was asked if I wanted the receipt. I declined. I don't need a long paper record to show me that I'd popped down the road on this date at this time to buy an iced coffee. It made me wonder why the process doesn't call for cashiers to ask if you need a receipt THEN print one out if you do in fact need one. How much paper is wasted on receipts that we either throw away or hoard for no reason? It's a small drop in the ocean I know...but still...it made me think...
You'd have a few receipts from Dares i dare say! But yes, if an ATM can give you a choice of receipt or not, why not a cash register. Stop the waste, change the mindset!
