Really? You sound like a snopes advertisement. I believe the most generous glass bottle return is 10c, can return 5c, and that would be down at a recycling cent

Really? You sound like a snopes advertisement. I believe the most generous glass bottle return is 10c, can return 5c, and that would be down at a recycling center. A six pack of crap beer is $5, meaning you would need to buy 50 bottles or 100 cans, pour them all out, take them to a recycling center and back (bus fair) and then buy some beer. I doubt this happens consistently at grocery stores.
