I know of some people that do not use email at all. Then I know of lots of people that refuse to give their email address to anyone but close family and friends. The Sacramento Socialists are demanding you give your email address to every vendor you use to make a purchase. No, I am not kidding.
“Assembly Bill 161 mandates that every small business in California provide digital e-receipts on all transactions. Traditional paper receipts would only be available if the customer specifically requests it, and any business not in complete compliance with the proposed law would be subject to penalties like government fines.
If this bill passes, your default experience as a customer will be to input your personal information at the register every time you make a purchase. And the clerk at the convenience store down the street who just wants to quickly sell you that small bottle of orange juice will now be responsible for safeguarding your data.”
Do you want every convenience store clerk to have your personal email address? Want the con artists from how you bought a knock off watch to have your email address? As for me, I will be happy to give an email address to every clerk and con artists. Here is the address I will give them: [email protected] Let him deal with the crooks.
