California introduces bill banning paper receipts
California introduces bill banning paper receipts
California is really "ban" happy. Plastic bags, plastic straws, and now maybe paper receipts! Instead of banning anything, why not just let consumers decide for themselves?

Re: California introduces bill banning paper receipts
I support this proposal.
Paper receipts are unnecessary in the computer and smartphone age. They keep getting lengthier & lengthier (CVS' by far are the worst), are taking up landfill space, and the ink is harmful for our environment.
The proposal as written still would permit customers to receive a paper receipt upon request.
I would be supportive of amending the proposal to exempt small mom & pop retailers. The worst offenders are the national chain stores anyway.

I'm 6'4 and sometimes it feels like CVS receipts are longer than I am tall. I don't see why they can't just text/email the receipts. Most smaller coffee shops and breweries offer that choice.MWmetalhead wrote: ↑Sat Mar 30, 2019 8:54 amI support this proposal.

Ever see the receipts that Kmart and Meijer print out? It's nuts. At least consumers can still get a paper receipt if it passes.

Re: California introduces bill banning paper receipts
I've shopped at Kmart once in the past ten years.
The problem with Meijer isn't the receipts - it's the damn check out coupons (which print separately from the receipt).
That leads to an interesting question - are the stupid check out coupons that are useless 90% of the time also subject to the restrictions contained in the California legislation?

Re: California introduces bill banning paper receipts
Many receipts are full-on ads on the back side - often full-color, and not even related to the store you receive it from.
Most stores offer the option to go paperless these days - even so much as asking if you even want a receipt at all.
It doesn't need to be legislated. Just more BS government over-reach from the state that invented the practice.

I think paper receipts are so wasteful.

Re: California introduces bill banning paper receipts
When we're in Florida, my wife sometimes shops at KMart. They always give her about two yards of paper. They should print them on a tissue that could be reused in the bathroom.
I don't mean to brag, but I just put a puzzle together in 1 day and the box said 2-4 years.

It won’t be long before “The Liberal Republic of California” bans toilet paper. 🧻
