Empty e-mail Addresses

One of the latest things that we now have to do at work is to gather customers email addresses. The idea is to send customers a copy of an electronic receipt in case they lose their paper one; and that we can recall their transaction more easily on our side too. The company has now made it a key performance indicator to encourage a client base; and we’re now under pressure to collect this information. The training method is to just ask for the customer’s e-mail address as people are expected to give out their personal information nowadays. But I disagree with this as it’s just a request for information and it doesn't say what it’s for. It also alienates people who are also on the mailing list. Furthermore, the e-mail receipts don't offer any news on product care. There's a whole more lot of thoughts that needs to be put into this before forcing us to make it part of our job.
