One thing came to mind I tell the shop assistants I do not require a receipt. Could this be the issue here they are just putting them in a bin  and this would show my card number with expiry date. I add this is for only small priced items

The receipts given to customers should never have the full card number on them anyway, so declining those makes no difference.  Merchant copies may be different but they'd always be retained by the retailer, who is obliged to control access to card numbers if they're printed on their copies, and accept liability for breaches....

We used to have a card reader in the office, the merchant copy has the full 16 digit and expiry date though I don't think it had the 3 digit one from the back

The PCI-DSS security regime doesn't specifically ban that practice (unlike it being prohibited from customer copies) but does require compensating controls to be in place for any merchant choosing to continue to show this.
