Rejected petition Ensure all high street retailers offer customers an email copy of their receipts

Enact a rule so that all high street retailers are required to offer customers the ability to have their receipts emailed to them.

More details

Most retailers do not offer to replace or return an item if the customer cannot show a receipt of purchase. Maintaining a bunch of such receipts creates unnecessary pressure on the customer. Moreover being printed on paper they are not exactly environment friendly.
Hence, I seek to ask the government to make it mandatory for all high street retailers to offer customers the ability to email them their receipts.
