CVS receipt was 4 1/2 ft long, only purchased 1 item

Ah, no. I just shopped at CVS day before yesterday for flu meds. Made the mistake of using the SO's store card. Got a receipt not quite 4 feet long, but still plenty of waste paper. Shopped at Food Lion yesterday, same story. A handful of unnecessary coupons at the register.

Are you flakking for these companies or something? Just curious.

Of course, your tossing out the word troll means we shouldn't take you very seriously anyway.

Presumably everyone else on this thread is a troll as well then, since they're describing the same experience.

Maybe you should report it to the Admin .

Or better yet, sue Vox, who published a story on this:

I guess they just made up 'everytinhf' in that article to piss you off.

Stop posting while drunk, 'kay?

In most countries, this would mean you two are engaged.

did you even try? The answer is no, because if you had, you would have gotten an email receipt. I have a cvs card and all of my receipts go straight to email.

I get most of my receipts by email. 

I don't know WTF your problem is--I've been polite and reasonable to you in my responses up to this point--but I'm getting sick of the 'trolling' accusation. Your latest post has been reported for that, and you're now on block. You're not worth the time.

Your avatar should read 'juvenile member' rather than 'junior member'--junior.

The cashiers must be ever vigilant about changing the till roll.

yo bro, i'm saying you CAN get them in email, and that anyone CAN.  Even retard amyghost.  also i'm not that young.  I'm in my 40s, but even I know this. 

LOL, I knew I was dealing with an adenoidal millenial when his first response to me (stealth response, btw---he didn't quote my post) included the word 'granpa'. Showing himself to be both an age bigot and too ADD to notice that I'm female. None too surprising.

I love their mentality (and I realize I'm generalizing wildly here, so apologies to any millenial reading this who doesn't think this way) with regard to the notion that anyone who's over 45 and hasn't voluntarily and eagerly enslaved themselves to every piece of pop technogarbage on the market is a fossil who's hopelessly cyber-illiterate and should be shipped off to a re-education camp for proper indoctrination, or else just put out of their fossilized misery.

On my last job, I spent nine to ten hours a day in front of a computer. I'm quite proficient and literate with the damn things, but I just don't choose to have them impose any more presence on my life than I can reasonably avoid. I use a flip phone--I see no need to have a PC/home theater system/home office/photography lab/what-have-you other appendages to the power of etcetera to about x ten thousand on my person 24/7. I don't want to spend my time at the theater or in a restaurant, the park, library or anywhere else texting. You could not give me a Kindle. (I actually had a teen toddler berate me in a Starbuck's a few years back for having the temerity to be reading--gasp!--a physical book within the range of his vision! I was helping to 'destroy the environment' according to his reasoning, and should be getting my read on only in e-form. Unbelievable.) I avail myself of such technology out there as I feel is useful or enjoyable to me, and no more. The stuff is being marketed these days in a way that comes across as suspiciously addictive in some respects. "You can't live without insert-device-of-the-nanosecond-here kids!!! You're friends will turn on you en masse and rip you to bleeding shreds for your uncoolness if you don't possess this NOW!!! "

It's the tiresome assumption of superiority that kills me. I must be getting a bit more crochety with age, because these days I have less compunction about putting out my paw like Mama Bear, and giving a particularly pesky cub a good metaphorical box on the ear.

Sorry for the lengthy rant--I appreciate your post! This thread alone should have taught Junior that a lot of people are still receiving paper, and that those 'e-receipts' are not as ubiquitous as he thinks. But I suppose he'd have to pull his eyes away from whatever game app he's immersed in to see what's in front of his face. His constant mis-spellings, likely due to too much 'textspeak' (Orwell would have relished that word), give a clue to at least one thing he likely spends too much time doing.
