The ‘Bottle Bill’ in CA is a freaking fiasco. When I was a kid, I thought it meant that you would pay and receive discounts for all containers AT THE STORE.
In addition, do you know that if the contents of the container are taxable, so is the ‘redemption value’? That means you’re paying $0.10 per bottle PLUS TAX on, i.e. a six-pack of soda or beer.
You don’t get that back.
Man, I miss the days of collecting six-packs of bottles and trading in four of them to get a full sixer of Coke to take back home.
It was huge. In Kindergarten, they couldn’t decide to fail me as mentally handicapped or put me in the proper levels as socially challenged. I’m DEFINITELY on the spectrum, even today.
Thank you, Dr. Obvious!
