You know when it's 15 degrees and you're standing outside Wegman's freezing and losing your patience waiting for the old man in front of you with his 500 dirty cans to please move it along...then the Gods shine down on you, your turn finally arrives, and you begin feeding your bottles slowly into the temperamental machine...and then 15 seconds later, the dreaded message "bin full, please call for assistance"...finally help arrives and you continue on, but the machine decides it doesn't want those craft pack Labbat's that you bought at that very store...tired, cold, and annoyed, you trudge inside to the service counter to return all the bottles the machine rejected, only to receive a blank stare by the clerk who then proceeds to question you as to why you didnt put them in the machine outside? Argh!! Are you freaking kidding me??...so frustrating!
Well my bottle toting friends, there is a solution. Enter Ridge Nickleback, one of a plethora of new return centers that have been popping up in response to the NY bottle law. They took all my empties, even the weird Trader Joe's and BOTW oddballs, and I was out the door, cash in hand, less than a minute later. Located on Culver near Parkside Diner...definitely will be bringing my empties here from now on. read more
