I've returned bottles with needles in them, and we don't use automated machines here people handle them. literally not my problem

But why would you?

Doesn't it squash the bottles immediately? Won't the whole place smell like stale piss then?

>bottle machines always thought it's an exclusively Russian thing

>>25553843 Dunno but government forced them on everyone in Baltics. You get charged 10 cents for every product you buy thats in bottle. If you want it back you need to recycle the bottle in these cuck machines

>>25553837 apparently there are trucks that drive to these ~10 000 bottle machines around country and disinfect everything every day. the drinks have sugars etc. so all the bacteria and funguses grow like mad It would be funny to see how much climate saving ends up in the end with these machines

>>25553851 Isn't this an EU wide thing? We have sames in hungary.

>>25553851 geez, it was a kasey joke

>>25553871 FSB probably has one of those dildo machines with a beer bottle attached in some dark basement

the worst thing about using these machines is having to smell the stench that comes out of the hole. i stopped drinking beer and switched to wine for that reason. i sometimes tried to dispose the beer pfand bottles in the house trash, but got caught by the Müllpolizei so I stoppped
