Quoting this a bit after the fact aren't you? I got married in August.
Guess they didn't let you return the ring?
Shame to let it go to waste I suppose...

I'm guessing you didn't follow the full conversation.
7 months ago people were ragging on me for splitting our food shopping in to 'Mine/Hers'
e.g. If I buy an expensive 4k blu-ray whilst at Tesco, it's not really right to make my wife pay towards it. Equally if she buys loads of stuff I won't eat (vegan meals or whatever) then she pays for that, instead of splitting it 50/50
They were implying this was bizarre and they are surprised she hadn't left me, and that I should keep the receipt for the engagement ring.

yeah won't be giving my email address, a printed receipt is good enough
at least some shops are starting to say 'do you need your receipt'
can't stand these shops that say nothing and you have to ask for your receipt. i know it's a small purchase but offer me my god damn receipt

Ah fair enough. I think thats a sensible and modern approach to be honest... But then again I'm not convinced marriage is sensible or modern anymore.

You get receipts in McDonalds now. When did that start?
The refit with the self service machines most likely...

When they started giving you order numbers.
Well unless you're keeping track of what you've spent, need it for accounting purposes, for expenses, proof of purchase etc.
I probably go overboard a bit but hang on to most receipts for a while at least.
Just paper. They don't use ink as such.

That’s either a huge mistake on Halfords part or you’re mistaken. As marketing material has been opt in for a while now. If that’s not the case remind them it’s a opt in policy now.
Sure they will come to their senses!

Ah, would make sense. That was new to me too, last time I went in for a McDonalds you just ordered and waited at the counter.
As you seemed to have worked out, it's a scam to harvest your email, and by extension, implied consent to be spammed. Tell them you want a paper receipt. Halfrauds and PCPants love this game as well.

Except they shouldn’t as marketing is opt in not opt out now.

They are asking you to opt in. That's the point.

No they are asking you for a receipt not if it’s ok to send marketing material. If they asking that as well then fair enough but I’ve never experienced that..
The rules are pretty clear on this you have to specify that you would like to receive marketing material. Implied consent doesn’t cut it.
