The machine itself is great but every time I have gone there is someone old loading tens or hundreds of bottles into the machine, with a nice line behind him or her each with similar amounts of bottles. I am happy they have a way to supplement their income but it makes waiting to return bottles impossible for me. Maybe each shop needs a few of these machines to ease the bottleneckRafi G.https://www.blogger.com/profile/00699851287106903971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20257999.post-27042677636776048582022-05-16T10:46:18.901+03:002022-05-16T10:46:18.901+03:00On the subject, I don't get the idea with the ...On the subject, I don't get the idea with the bottle tax.
