France to end non-essential printing of paper receipts - eviltoast
Customers will still be able to ask for a printout if they want one, and receipts will still be compulsory in places such as restaurants or garages.

    That works to combat tax fraud though

    If there only was a way to do something like this electronically…

      There’s no obligation to provide a paper “Bon,” stores can just offer digital receipts by default.

        The bakeries I go to usually do this (even though bakeries where crying the loudest back then). Other stores don’t for some reason.

      There is, the receipts don’t have to be paper-based, they can be an email - REWE does that for example, if you have a loyalty card.

      What they didn’t manage to do is find a way to do it electronically without some sort of profile/registration.

        I’m very sure that they would know a way, but there’s absolutely no incentive to do so.

        The person talking about a QR code based system in another comment in this thread would suggest otherwise.
