There are three kinds of people in this world- those who can count, and those who can't.

I may trust a retailer with my money to make a purchase, but I won't trust that retailer with my e-mail address to get the receipt. Customers are more comfortable with the paper receipt because it's fast and requires no further time commitment associated with the purchase. If that makes their purchase 10% more expensive it's worth it to them.

Perhaps you might use what you've learned to make a different (or improved) product that appeals to a wider audience.

you are a very traditional human/alien and stubborn as well who doesn't accept new technology.
