TranscriptA post by Dr. Amy Psy.D. @dramypsyd@ohai.social saying: So I had to stop by Best Buy and the sales guy was going really hard trying to get me to sign up for the credit card. Like I said I didn’t want it and he was like “does YOUR card get you 15% off I don’t think so” and I was like buddy I know they make you push it but please stop and he was like actually they don’t, I just really like the Best Buy credit card. And then he wouldn’t tear my receipt off because he said the chemicals would take away his testosterone. Anyway this is why I shop online.

Receipts are mostly printed on thermal paper that contains toxic chemicals. Not sure about the testosterone thing but receipts aren't the best for you.

Most stuff that's not designed to be ingested is bad if it is ingested but there's this one simple trick to avoid any problem. Don't ingest it

it's true, but the amount of BPA one picks up from handling receipts, even as a cashier for years like I was, is negligible. Much less than people pick up from other sources, and not enough to disrupt hormones. I'm not worried about it.
