E -receipts

[Miss Demeanour]

So whenever you go shopping for goods now you seem to get the offer of having an e-receipt sent to you ...which of course requires you providing your email address.

Now I quite like the idea of having an e-receipt as I can save them all in a folder and am less likely to lose them unlike the papery version.

However what it does mean is that you then automatically get subscribed to the organisations hourly, weekly , monthly updates, newsletters and promo offers and then have to unsubscribe individually from the variations of this bumf.

I want to be able to unsubscribe at source and say you can only have my email address for the receipt and the receipt only . I tried this at the weekend and was assured that this would not be used for any other purposes.

Since then I have an email saying when their sale starts, another welcoming me to their site, another with this months promotions and another with their christmas opening hours

When does their sale start?

[Miss Demeanour]

Didn't read it ...I was too busy struggling to find the size 2 font, that is no longer underlined or in bold, to direct me to the unsubscribe function

Problem is you go to some craft fairs or the like and that's the only receipts they give

[Miss Demeanour]

Anything that requires some sort of guarantee then I would go through this process of an e-receipt and hassle of email flooding.

But for usual crap or toot I refuse to give my email address and require a paper receipt

High tech here is not needing carbon paper when they write your receipt out...
