With this kind of thing, here's what I worry about: what if the store decides to charge you $X+5, where the real price is only $5? When a receipt is handed to me at point of sale, I can catch anything different there and bring it up then. After that, I know the receipt is good. Who would pull out their phone to check their email and make sure the receipt is valid?
- contactdick 16y agoGood point. For everyone who actually wants to check the receipt at the POS there is an option to also receive a paper receipt (i.e. email and paper). If the receipt is ok, you can throw away the paper receipt and keep the email receipt for potential future changes/returns/expense claims etc. Now this defeats the environmentally benefit of email receipts but is a way around it. Some retailers let their customers look at customer-facing till screens while scanning the purchase items.
