Our local (Hood River) grocery store went from a poorly setup actual human system to a completely dysfunctional automated system. I actually gave up drinking beer in frustration with it all. Six months ago I noticed a bin just past the checkout counter with a sign " Donate bottles to fight cancer, the store takes the bottles runs them through their machine for you and donates the money to the National Cancer Society. Brilliant I can drink beer again and feel good about doing so. "What are you doing tonight?", " Oh just watching basketball and curing Cancer."
