  • Am I likely to have to return my purchase?
  • Am I using cash instead of credit/debit?
  • Do I want to review what I purchased to make sure everything was the correct price and/or (if it's a bunch of items) that I got everything?
  • Am I being reimbursed/reimbursing someone?
  • Am I in a shopping mall where I'll be bringing this merchandise into other stores with similar offerings?

if any of the above factors are true:

  • Do I have an account which will let me receive a digital receipt instead?
  • If not, then yes.

If none of the above factors are true: No. At that point to me it's just a waste of receipt paper and my time.

Some contactless payment systems like Apple Pay can have a receipt automatically emailed if the POS system supports it.

Avoids paper waste from unwanted, avoids missing a receipt when it was wanted, and much easier to organise.
