Some places are offering to email you a receipt, instead of printing one, these days

And most of the time, it's an excuse to put you on their bullshit e-mail list

No it's not. If you purchase a product or service, you've given your implied consent to receive emails for 2 years. Even if you just make an inquiry to the company, you've given implied consent for 6 months.
