Its rational to treat receipts like toxic waste. They need to create a law governing their toxicity, if for nothing else than almost everyone will continue to be unaware of it. Including cashiers.

I don't know how people justify handling newspapers either.

I love seeing super hippy grocery stores using thermal printers. Bro the most toxic thing in the exchange is now the receipt I don’t want or need.
