I used to always hold the receipt in my mouth as I put my card away. Glad I kicked that habit. Still did it for decades though.

Say receipts are toxic.

People need receipts to return items.

Profit!

I always get my receipts emailed so I don't have to keep track of them and I can just search my email for them.

They fade away after a day regardless.

Under retailers using these receipts it lists capital one.

Capital one has stores?

I used to work as a bartender and we kept a pump bottle of hand sanitizer on the sink just in case we were so busy that a 20-second hand wash wasn't reasonable. -We used thermal paper almost exclusively and I know for a fact that I occasionally had alcohol-laden hands when I was handling that thermal paper.

I really wish that every single place I go didn't force me to take a receipt, agh

Naive Dutch guy here: can't you just refuse the receipt? Here they ask you if you want the receipt, and you can simply say: No, thank you.

Some places security harasses you unless you show a receipt

I do this frequently. In many places the cashier has to print it, so instead if handing it over to me they just throw it in the trash...
