What technological limitation prevents "receipt data" from appearing on my debit and credit transactions on my bank's website? I bet there is none. Why can't I go into my online bank settings, select an option that says "no receipt printouts", another option that says email me notice of transactions over $100, and have all my receipts stored clearly and chronologically and automatically online? Why can't I click "30 Sep 2008 BARNES AND NOBLE 34.30" on my bank statement and be taken to an online receipt that can be printed if needed? If the banks can't do it, then maybe the cash/receipt machine manufacturers should step up. The Apple Store, of course, always gives the option of emailing you the receipt.
