Nope... they physically don't have the stamps anymore, so they couldn't even if they wanted to.

I read an article saying the receipt system saved each agent something like 15-20 seconds per visitor, so when multipled thousands of times, you get thousand of people who are sad that they don't get a stamp.

Seriously though, they should retain 1-2 lines for "classic stamp" seekers. If they want a stamp, they can wait.

(I would probably be in that line)
