soon the end of the receipt

This is an important change that is coming in our daily purchases. Cash receipts in stores will disappear to fight against waste. They will be banned from January 1. Note, however, that the receipt can be claimed by those who wish.

A small revolution that worries consumer associations. For them, this decision is unacceptable. According to them, the ticket is still necessary to protect customers. “It should be remembered that the receipt is proof of purchase, which is essential to assert the rights inherent in the act of purchase. It is the legal guarantees, the commercial guarantees”, explains Matthieu Robin, project manager for banking and insurance at UFC-Que Choisir. Each year, 30 billion receipts are printed in France.
