What's wrong with America

Ok, so here's what's wrong. I went to the grocery store the other day just to pick up a few necessities which for me are orange juice, squiggly pasta, hummus, greek olives and an apple. 5 items total. FIVE.  My receipt? 16 and a half inches long. No weird survery, no coupons, no ad ons, just lots of spaces. Talk about a waste of paper. What if I got 10 items? 20 items? Now that people are claiming there is BPA on receipts, I don't particularly want a 16 and a half inches long receipt.
