Paperless Receipts

We get receipt forms emailed to us from internet purchases all the time, but there are still a shiton of spatially locatable stores that we go to which print out paper receipts.

Personally I like having things digital as I'd rather keep a folder of PDF files than a filing cabinet worth of paper; its just easier to manage.

Digital is great because it also gives me a choice if I want to print it out or not, I hate being handed a receipt at the store when I just throw them away.

So an idea would be to have a standard form which would be emailed to our registered address(es) when we make purchases at a store.

For example when I go to the grocery store instead of getting a paper receipt it would be emailed to me where I could print it out later if I wanted or keep it stored on a digital source. Each form would have a standard layout (work on a mockup) and they could put their own digital signature on it.

Once fingerprinting comes into common practice it would be easy to take coupons onto the paperless trail too, and have the ability to digitalize a person's coupons.

When/if they get a coupon from purchasing an item that would also be emailed to them and stored with their actual fingerprint, which would then get accessed and processed when they went to the store and slid their finger on the fingerprint module.
