Avoiding Receipts?

Is anyone else having problems avoiding receipts? Cashiers and delivery drivers tend to stick them directly into your hand and look at you like you're a crazy person when you jump back and say, "No receipt, please."
Then, even if I manage to avoid those, I reach into a bag of groceries and there's a receipt or I reach into my husband's pockets (while sorting laundry) and there's another receipt.
Can't we just go paper-free already??!?

Receipts don't bother me, I guess. I'd rather take the slip of paper and toss it in the recycle bin than give everyone and their mom my email address so that I can be constantly deleting receipts from there.

Receipts contain BPA and apparently handling them while pregnant is bad. A friend was saying that it's why receipts turn black when left in the sunlight, they're filled with some nasty stuff.
I just don't know how to avoid receipts. They're everywhere and people put them directly in your hand.

If no one else is worried about it, it's probably not a big deal (especially since a lot of you already have healthy babies at home) -- it was just getting frustrating for me because I've been trying to avoid them but people tend to just thrust them at me (usually pushing them directly into my hand) even when I've said "no receipt, please" or "put it in the bag" (which, actually doesn't help that much because I still have to reach into the bag to take things out and there's the receipt).
I literally had to jump back at one point yesterday because (even though my hands/arms were completely full) the cashier tried to shove a receipt in my hand.
I take receipts, never knew they were an issue, but pretty sure cashiers have healthy babies and touch them all day long. My 2 seconds of shoving the receipt in the bag doesn't concern me.
Don't remember the exact title of the book, it was french book... maybe that is why, we french people tend to over freak out about everything xD.

Don't eat receipts
Well shoot. I am a teller at a Credit Union. I handle receipts all day, 5 days a week. I'm screwed.

Edit Ugh mobile gif-ing is hard
I still eat/drink out of plastic occasionally, but I'll probably consider avoiding it from here on out. I'm a firm believer of not living in a bubble, but I didn't really know much about the BPA risk until this post prompted me to google.
