All this in a Retirement Community.

Because likely they (and many small local operations) use SQUARE UP for processing. SQUARE UP uses an iPhone or iPad for processing, and often has no cash drawer and no printer, thus "credit only and email receipt only." If email is a concern get a "throwaway" account (gmail, yahoo, gmx and 50 others) with an "anonymous name" like
COOKIEMONSTER1234567@YAHOO.COM and use that for just that kind of stuff. As time and technology marches on you will see MANY more things like this. Maybe they will eventually get a cash drawer and receipt printer depending on how many cookies they sell.
