The issue of handling thermal paper has been known for years and is a real problem but no one reports on it.

Enter "thermal paper hazard" into any search engine. It is a real problem.

I cringe when I see people putting their receipts in their mouth to free up their hands while they walk to the exit of their favorite big box store.

I don't like the prospect of every transaction being logged somewhere
Tell me about it. I once used my card at a convenience store. The next thing I knew, I was in their email list. The only way they could have gotten that is from my CC provider. I went in and complained to the manager, and also got rid of the card.

I usually buy the small double patty cheeseburger deal at McDonald's and get another for one dollar. I live alone and often buy six or eight burgers that way. Two to three burgers make a meal.
Don't they get soggy when re-heated? Always have for me.

I don't think they're as tasty when reheated but haven't noticed them being soggy. I put one on a plate for 40 to 50 seconds and set the microwave on 4. If meat is reheated too hot it ruins the taste imho.

Saw this study too—thermal receipts can carry more chemicals than you’d think. Around the hospital, the printers spit them out constantly, so we started using gloves for small tasks. For labels that actually need handling a lot, we switched to an Epson Colour Label Printer for wristbands and tags, and those come out clean, bright, and safe to touch.
