Remember in the 1990s you would buy a thing and they would only print a receipt if you specifically asked for one.

And even then it would be about three inches of thermal paper, max.

How has the thermal paper industry tricked us into a society where three foot long receipts are normal and expected?

@apLundell It's not the thermal paper industry. It's the advertisement industry. The longer you make the receipts, the more ad space you can sell on them.
