My grocery store gives me a printed receipt when I pay for my groceries. And I don't ask them to do that--they just print one up and hand it to me. Amazon can't give you a printed receipt because you are not there, physically. So they send you an email instead. This is not that hard to understand.

Stores don't give you receipts for your benefit. They print receipts to make sure the cashier isn't dipping into the cash register.

Card processors require retailers to provide transaction receipts to cardholders.

I think there needs to be a more substantial karma gate to downvoting (10 000+), I'd be fine with falling out of that category myself. I've only been interacting on HN for the past year or so, but lurked for several years prior: the community has been becoming a lot more "redditish."

These guys.. is it just me, that think that Google miss some serious traction? Fundamental things like Email Forwarding not working now? Is everything just hit and miss there at Google HQ?

One guy out of millions having problems forwarding email is indicative of everything being hit and miss across all Google projects? You and the OP might be jumping to some unjustified conclusions.

No. Just look at the number of projects they dump to the trash can, compared to number of successful ones. Litarally... hit and miss.
