I go in to Walgreens to buy a birthday card for my dad, thats it, 1 item and get a 3 ft receipt. Seems like a waste of money and trees.

Say you don't need a receipt, and watch the look on the girl's face.

I've always wondered that. Drive through places sometimes give you three receipts too. You'd think they could figure out to save some money cutting back on receipt size

if you take an online survey, you get discounts.

These corporations love to kill forests just to try and get you to do a survey for their analytics. More and more do we try to consolidate human interactions into algorithms. Something humans, maybe AI, could accomplish but not us.

When was the last time you went shopping? It's been like that for quite some time.

Did you at least check your Walgreens rewards points on the receipt? Their rewards points system is legit. I usually get around $20 racked up in points in a month or so.

ETA: I also learned from my walgreens receipt that sunscreen is actually an FSA eligible expense.
