Pay at the Pump; Receipt Inside

I love paying for gas at the pump. Very convenient.

Recently, I've been getting prompted to walk inside to get my receipt from the attendant. Doesn't that undercut the convenience of letting people pay at the pump in the first place?

Maybe it's a cost savings measure. At some point people will stop requesting a receipt (better than walking in to get the receipt), thus saving the station owner all that money on paper?

Is it lazy attendants?

Probably no need to harp on it. I don't really do anything with the receipt anyway.
