stop & shop is killing the planet

our nearest grocery store is a stop & shop. stop & shop is one of the 3 main chains in this area and is widely regarded as the middle of the road option (not the most expensive, not the cheapest, etc.) i really have no issue with them as a corporation or a business. they have recently installed a system where you can scan the items in your cart as you go and then just pay on the way out. saves time. super-convenient. they do alright.

but i have always hated one thing about shopping there. that is, simply, their receipts are ludicrously and unnecessarily long. i mean, it's truly ridiculous.

for example, today, we went in and picked up a bag of these:

...and, in return, got this:



a little much, don't you think, stop & shop?
