I wish there was just a standardized receipt sending format that would send your receipt to your pay app once you tap to pay something.

Of course, I can only imagine this coming to fruition if it is packed to the brim with tracking and 3rd party dissemination.

Yes, just awkwardly punch in your email address into this miscalibrated POS keypad so we can “only send you your receipt”*

* May also enroll you in “helpful” store newsletters and sell your email to every company on your grocery store receipt.

To the brim, for sure.

Probably one day we'll have a "citizen preferences file" where the confidentiality of our interactions with various entities can be granularly set.
