Why is it, in this marvelous new age of electronic fund transfers, with the long-prophesied obsolescence of personal checks and paper money now upon us, that we are left instead with a new and infinitely messier paper chase? The collection of multi-sized, variously formatted, endlessly-lengthed and vaguely-printed glossy paper receipts is much worse than the old necessity of like-sized greenback bills and neatly folded checkbooks.Why cannot the consumer have access to the same electronic receipts that the merchants use? They store our data. Shouldn't we have access?
If for no other purpose, people, for the sake of the trees!
