Shop receipts do you prefer paper or e-mailed

Never by email - I get far too many anyway.
I’ve never yet been told that a paper receipt is not an option.

I would have cancelled the purchase if I couldn't have a paper receipt immediately.

Unfortunately there is no legal obligation for a store to give you a receipt, which is why you don't need to produce one for a refund, just a bank statement with the store's name and date on it will do. You can request a paper receipt, but that is all it is, a request and they don't have to comply.

I always refuse to give my email address, and so far have managed to obtain a paper receipt, but I imagine that won't work for too long. Naturally if you give someone your email address they will use it for adverts, and may well pass it on as well.

Why give them your email address to sell? It leads to even more spam.

I always ask for paper receipts

Grannynannywanny I had no choice, email only or none.

Paper

I never give my email address for a receipt as I’m sure it’s shared for junk mail. A paper one has always been produced when I say I don’t have an email address.
