Phil Ting is a useless political hack whose only purpose in life is to further his own career at someone elses expense. I have attended neighborhood meetings regarding the car break ins specifically the the tiled steps at 16th and Moraga. Its an enormous problem.

Phil Ting was there to let us (aka little people) what he could do about. Basically he told us he could pass more laws to make crime more illegal. WTF!. The rest of his talk was a call for our votes because he is such a good guy. What a waste of skin he is.

I told a bunch of academics as I was passing out paper handouts that using paper isn’t destroying the environment. Paper is biodegradable and is a renewable resource. I don’t think they were convinced but every once in a while my background in the lumber industry re-emerges.

Gee, and I’ve always enjoyed those two foot long receipts I get after buying a single item at the store.

I rarely have paper receipts and usually have E-Receipts so this does not effect me but I will fight the leftist agenda and power grab behind it.

“As it happens, the biggest beneficiary would likely be Square Inc., whose headquarters is in San Francisco and is run by CEO Jack Dorsey of Twitter fame.”

Curious how much Square Inc and Mr. Dorsey donated to Mr. Ting’s election campaign.

I was working for a company that had been taken over by a hedge fund. They started by quibbling with food receipts while on the road. We were finally tolds, “I dont want to see any receipts that aren’t from Taco Bell!”, meaning, you are to cheap out at every turn.

So, I bought a thermal paper receipt printer that ran off Windows. I grabbed a Taco Bell logo from the internet and transcribed every letter as it was on the receipts we actually got. The only difference was the Taco Bell logo at the top.

It worked like a charm. We weren’t questioned on any meals after that.

The disappearing ink on the receipts is an irritation. Unless a person has a printer to copy all of those receipts.

Paper receipts, for those who can read, are a guarantee that no mistakes or criminal behavior occurred with your transaction.

E-receipts automatically give whomever you transacted your business with your email address.

Thanks, anyway.

Always ask for a paper receipt.

I guess it would mean a removal of a source of BPA. That could be a good thing.

I want a physical receipt. It’s itemized and I want the record.

Businesses are required to give one on demand.

I don’t feel like taking the time and energy to make up my own domain when I can take all my paper receipts and put them in an envelope to check them off at the end of the month when I get the bill

And that is the problem with this concept. It forces everyone like it or not to be dependent on third party services and tools. Phones, Carriers, Email Accounts. Apps, Etc. This is a backdoor towards the final goal of eliminating cash where there will always be the dependency on third parties to make ANY and ALL transactions. Won’t be long and they will start to charge a “handling fee” for all these third party services. There will be no such thing as a two party transaction anymore.

You missed one very important aspect of this 'third party' information. The Supreme Court has ruled on several occasions that none of this third party data is subject to 5th amendment protections.

I always pay cash when I can just
because it’s, in theory, not traceable.

Maybe they’re really after those CVS receipts with all of the bonus offerings that are printed out. I think I got a six-footer once.
