This is another follow-up on my post about BPA & BPS in paper receipts.

At CVS, you can request digital receipts be emailed to you instead of getting those extra long paper receipts. They're supposed to "save it to your profile" so that you don't need mention it each time. (I haven't done it yet, so don't know how well that works).

I just created a CVS.com account and linked it to our ExtraCare card number. But I found no option on the site to sign up for digital receipts. It seems that it has to be done at the store.

Update: Q asked to get digital receipts in the store, and was told to install the CVS app on his phone; that he can select it in the app. I've verified that the app does provide a setting for selecting digital receipts. The next time we make a purchase there, we will see if it works to keep the cashier from printing out a paper receipt. I've since uninstalled the app, as I see no reason that it would need to be kept installed once you choose the option.

"my post about BPA & BPS in paper receipts" links to the goose (edit) actually, it links to your home page, which happens to still have the goose post atop. Just checked the link and realized DW looks at "#entry-686838"* in your URL and goes, "Hmmmm, OK, back to the home page, then!" instead of 404ing as I'd think maybe it should (the hash sign probably stops it from doing so, though, as that's normally reserved for on-page internal linkage).

*It's at https://darkoshi.dreamwidth.org/688468.html so I'm 404ing, now.

Ah, I copied the link from my side-bar ("Page Summary") instead of from the actual post that time. For me, it brings up my recent entries page, positioned at that post. Once the post is no longer in my last 20 entries, the link probably won't work for me either.

I will fix it, thanks.

I was wondering where that URL came from! I don't think I've ever hovered over a Page Summary URL before to actually study the URL construction. So they *are* (what I call) "jump links". Neat.
