Bottle Bill Redemption

I was at Market Basket this morning and redeeming some bottles and cans. The machine reported back to me that "This store does not sell this container," which would make it ineligible for redemption at Market Basket under Massachusetts' bottle bill. This actually was not true, but oftentimes you just need to slide the bottle into the machine just the right way.

But instead of spitting the bottle back out, the machine ate it.

It's only 5 cents I missing out on. It's not gonna kill me. But when these things happen to you it's frustrating. I tried to talk myself out of being pissed.

And then I looked behind me and there was an empty bottle of Coke.

Bingo. I got my 5 cents.
