want your receipt?

NO!

Sorry: No, thank you.

That's better. But seriously, getting a receipt can be a HUGE no-no.

Check this out:

Receipts from the eight billion U.S. ATM transactions each year add up to a big, trashy mountain of little white slips of paper that most people never, ever look at again. (Except maybe identity thieves.)

So, instead of getting an ATM receipt that will just take up space in your wallet -- next to that drink card from the boba place you tried once -- keep track of your banking online. It's safer and greener, plus you'll have more room in your wallet for useful things like cash.

As for other receipts, do you really have to have that receipt for your morning coffee, your last fill-up at the gas station, or your munchie run to the convenience store? Unless you REALLY need the receipt and can't get one online, just say "No, thank you" to those icky, bitty slips of paper. (The boba drink is up to you.)
