I bought eleven items at Kroger the other day. The subsequent receipt was 24.5" long. When did this trend start? There was even a credit card application on the bottom of it.Absurd.
In the scheme of one shopper, no, it's not that much. Big deal, right? But there's thousands upon thousands of shoppers that go through not only that store, but each of their stores in the span of a day. It just seems like such a waste. Not only the paper, but the energy needed to create the paper, ship the paper, the ink on the paper, the energy required to print on the paper, roll the paper out and then cut the paper. When considered on the scale at which they print receipts, it's slightly mind-numbing.
Wouldn't it be something if everyone took those receipts, clip the 10% that's important and at the end of each month, return all the unnecessarily printed paper to their respective store's manager?
