The Apple stores (in Canada, at least) have the ability to email receipts to the email address associated with your credit card instead of printing one. By the time I walk out the door my phone buzzes with a copy of my receipt coming into my inbox. I absolutely love this - it also helps that I don't have to save my receipts for warranties since I can instead just run a search for them.
I hope more stores catch onto this model.
- zemanel 16y agothat would be great. Apple can do that because you can register an account online with Apple and they get your info (e-mail) by looking up your credit card? A general solution would have to work with small businesses that don't have online services, which i assume being the majority out there.
- dreamux 16y agoActually, I'm not sure if they cross-reference credit card numbers with itunes accounts or if its done through the credit card company; but I think this should be a service that credit card companies offer merchants... perhaps to help justify their massive merchant fees.
- nantes 16y agoThis is an interesting approach. Right now, credit cards don't get itemized receipts (afaik), just totals to charge to the customer's account. For a service like this to be really useful to me, I would want itemized receipts.

- timrobinson 16y agoThe other thing I like about Apple stores (the UK ones, at least) is that you don't have to walk anywhere to pay. The last time I went there, the guy entered my purchase into his iPod, then scanned a bar code on the nearest chip & pin machine. This was then the designated chip & pin machine that I could put my card into.
