I've run into some sticklers, but usually it has never been an issue. To clarify, money was spent; I wasn't pocketing it. The cases where this would come up would be instead of flying CLT-IAH, I would fly CLT-JFK-CDG for the weekend. Customer isn't expected to pay extra for my wanderlust. Fortunately, I never had to book the flight, expense it, then cancel it, get a credit and book whatever I want.

I still have the boarding pass on their and screenshotted and in the wallet, but for handing someone else my boarding pass I prefer if it isn’t my phone.
It's easier and cheaper to not have staff to do this and kiosks around to print. I see why they want to push that way.
I get BPs printed on card stock for every flight. Have thousands stacked up in a box.
