      My local Żabka has found the loophole of putting a sign marked ‘AWARIA’ over the bottle bin xd

      Good, this bunch of morons fucked it so hard, that its sad (alcohol excluded, wtf? And whole system is one big fail). Now please add 3+ liter juices, and other shops hopefully will follow.

      Funny how I used that system everywhere in Estonia 12 years ago but our own Polish hussars are scared.

      How is it Kaufland’s problem, even if it’s not fake. Shouldn’t it be controversial take but from the side of water manufacturer, Ustronianka in this case?

      We have this system in place for few years in Slovakia. It is just punishment for people who separated plastic before that. Now I stopped separating plastic, if I have to also bring bottles back to store… I do not care about separating other plastic anymore.

      I lived in Sweden and kids in my neighbourhood would print Swedish UPC barcodes and put on anything round they could get from the recylcing yard. The machine just scans the code and gives you the ticket…

      The trick will not work. Nobody needs 3l bottle to carry with.
      But the Kaufland got really bad PR now. Was not worthy to be “smart”.
      Please ignore 1% mooning on everything even good things like deposit system. Lazy losers are everywhere.

      This has been a thing in Germany since years. I remember seeing those “3001ml” bottles with super cheap lemonade

      Cool, but they should have put the cap at 2L to solve the annoying shrinkflation and downsizing of drinks in supermarkets

      Been a thing in Nordics since like 80s or 90s… It’s not that difficult, but should definitely be implemented in a smart way. And people need to stop drinking bottled water.
