I would love to provide an email address and have the receipt sent to me in a machine readable format. It would allow me to automate tracking how much I spend on each item at the grocery store, for example.

You can get them to email receipts.

Apple do this and I’ve shopped at some other places that also do it.

I don’t care about a printed receipt. Find a way for me to have proof of purchase without.

And the thermal paper used will fade out after a while, which can be a problem when you need it for warranty purposes. I scan the important ones, but it would be easy to have it already in electronic form at the point of sale.
