Because the receipt is owed to the customer and some people actually want it while other's just throw it away...

Saving paper and consideration. With how many people just crumple it up or leave it on the counter, it's a nice way of asking if they should waste your time with it.

I just can't understand how it started happening. Was there some sort of movement that I missed?

For those of us that have to do expense reports it makes sense. Typically for crap purchases I dont want one, however if I am even paying for a coffee with my corporate card I need to have a receipt so I can expense it.

they are required by law to have receipts....and some locales make it mandatory to give or offer a receipt as proof of purchase contract
sometimes it's just store policy to prevent fraud and abuse

Task complete.
Location: Starbucks drive-thru
Me: "Can I ask you a really stupid question?
Ashley: Sure, <giggle> what?
Me: Why do you ask people if they want a receipt or not?
Ashley: I dunno, I guess to save paper since I watch a lot of people take the receipt and crumple it up and throw it in their back seat. And uh... I guess it's more convenient for people.
Me: OK. I was just wondering if there was a movement of some kind that i missed.
Ashley: <laugh> I think people just got smart.

That, and for any small business you may want to be saving them for tax purposes.

Another reason is for you to verify that they rang up the correct amount and didn't overcharge your card. *shrug* Makes sense, right? Come home and find out two weeks later you spent $113 for one trip to Starbucks would be pretty maddening.

And for this reason alone I get the receipt. So many dumbasses these days, and I have had this happen on occasion.

we don't print receipts anymore unless the customer asks for it. in my experience in retail 90% of people or more don't want it or trash it if you give it to them. waste is waste, save costs where you can.
