  1. the only places tho that really incorporate the bottle deposit tho in nyc are supermarkets though. bodegas and fauxdegas usually just charge an exact amount like 2 or 250 or 3.

    WHICH IS WHY THE BODEGAS ARE THE BIGGEST RIPOFF TO LOW INCOME NEIGHBORHOODS THAT DON’T HAVE SUPERMARKET ALTERNATIVES.

  2. “the only places tho that really incorporate the bottle deposit tho in nyc are supermarkets though. bodegas and fauxdegas usually just charge an exact amount like 2 or 250 or 3.”

    Then they probably overcharge – because they pay the deposit when they buy wholesale so I doubt they would pass any savings down to you.

  3. There was a funny chain email going around back in the fall that said if you bought 1,000 bucks of beer and redeemed the deposit – you would have gotten a better return than if you invested in 1,000 bucks worth of AIG stock the previous year.
