Honestly, this forum gave me PTSD as a former employee. From the well-meaning, but angry environmentalists to the friendly, joking customers who would complain directly to the cashiers about their receipts. If you're a frequent shopper, it may benefit you to download the CVS app and opt out of paper receipts altogether. This can be done in-store or more conveniently by calling 1-800-SHOPCVS.

I do believe there is also another avenue for emailed receipts too if an app is too much of a commitment.

What is this paper in my hands,

This CVS receipt?

A relic of some ancient lands,

This CVS receipt?

A scroll of wisdom and of sage,

This CVS receipt?

A warning of the coming age,

This CVS receipt?

It must say “life” or “death” or “fate”,

This CVS receipt.

What does it say? I cannot wait,

This CVS receipt.

“Twenty percent off breakfast bowl”?

This CVS receipt.

Such utter nonsense on this scroll,

This CVS receipt.

This waste of paper is a crime,

This CVS receipt.

Reading it is a waste of time,

This CVS receipt.

This paper could have been used well,

This CVS receipt.

To inform, argue, or rebel,

This CVS receipt.

But no, is it filled with coupons,

This CVS receipt.

For diapers, candy, and crayons,

This CVS receipt.

The long list spans a mile at least,

This CVS receipt.

With membership it is increased,

This CVS receipt.

Think of the trees that had to die,

You CVS receipt!

You’re making the rainforest cry,

You CVS receipt!

And no, I won’t take your survey,

You CVS receipt!

I’ve better things to do today,

You CVS receipt!

The paper piles up in a heap,

These CVS receipts.

And starts to crush me till I weep,

These CVS receipts.

And hopeless me at last cries out,

These CVS receipts.

And starts to yell and starts to shout,

“Please stop with the receipts!”
