Just look at your statement next to your text notifications. The texts never go away unless you delete them.
While most all take cash, LOT'S of small merchants don't offer paper receipts because they don't have printers attached to their IPAD or IPHONE terminals and use one of the number of credit card providers out there like SQUARE-UP. I have a small device which plugs into my phone or my iPad and swipes a credit card. I don't carry a printer or a cash drawer but can take a credit card and do not prefer cash but of course will take it.
This is my register. Normally I use it with my iPad but need a USB C -> LIGHTENING adapter. It only provides EMAIL receipts since I have no desire to spend $200 on a printer or carry one with me. 15 years no complaints. You see LOTS of these system in stores now, usually with an iPad on a stand, Getting a CC provider used to be very very expensive if the bank would even give you one. There's a Brave New World out there!  Us oldsters need to get used to it!

Thanks. I have never not gotten a paper receipt for a CC transaction in a store. But, if I wanted to buy a cookie, and they wouldn't offer a paper receipt, I would pay cash. Unfortunately, this store won't accept cash. My only point is that, if a store charges me twice, which some have, my defense is that I always insist on a paper receipt, and the store should be able to produce a copy of both receipts. But, I agree that things are changing. Although, I think a store selling cookies is making a mistake to not accept cash.
