I am reliably assured that no-one could possibly store that many bottles in Ireland, or bring them back to the shop.
Sure it’d never work in Ireland.
Also, someone would throw in a small child on the end of a string.

Our government is stupid is why. It makes perfect sense to do it this way. The machines are also in predatory positions in a lot of shops like Aldi where you are basically forced to buy something there and then with the voucher as you can’t go out the door. Also the vouchers themselves should be redeemable in any shop not constrained to where you return.

Hows the oul manual return system going these days. Anyone mange to return something badly mangled?

I don’t bother with the machines. Too much effort, like.

There’s nothing the Irish government is better at than half-assedly implementing something the rest of Europe has had for a decade and pretending they’ve innovated.

They dont have them everywhere in Sweden. I lived there for a few years and never seen one like this

I had the great mispleasure of using one in Tesco in Youghal recently. It fucking insisted that every bottle be inserted bottom first – and because it was so slow to recognise shit I’d have to remove the current bottle as well as the one that I didn’t put in the right way.
Then it failed to recognise bottles even when they were put in the right way, and again, because of how slow it was, I’d have to take out 2 bottles instead of one.
It took nearly 10 minutes to do €12 of bottles, I guess it might be working as designed because I will avoid it like the plague in future

This is the upgrade project. Same contractor but need to give it 3 years making money off this iteration first.
Also needs an additional 4 billion just because of the children’s hospital project.
Just because like.

The machines we built to take one at a time keep breaking. I’d say that would last a day here

Because if we had that we couldn’t be trusted not to throw everything from the wrapper off a jambon to unwanted children into it.

Ah why did u have to post that at this hour on a Saturday night? It’s after annoying me. Reminder of how useless and stingy we are as a govt.
SoloWingPixy88 on
People are making money off the machines. It feels like the ones we have actually discourage usage.
Shops recieve a handling fee for each bottle and make a small commission for each bottle.
This machine seems great, also €16 for that bag? I feel like were being ripped off.

That would be so much more fun too like you won a game

Live in Sweden myself, most places don’t have one like this, just the bottom first with the bottles, one at a time job.
You get used to it.

I moved to Norway and they have them here. But mostly in big cities. Anywhere else has similar ones to Ireland. I’d imagine it’s a cost vs amount of users thing so the ques are not a mile long in built up areas. You would think they would have sprung for a couple around Dublin though.

The video actually shows either Norway or Denmark. I know because that is not Swedish… The Swedish machines are much slower than this.

The machines we have are designed to break, and be replaced. More specifically the motors that drive the belts and crushers.
There are a handful of companies from importers, logistics and technicians all on the gravy train paid for by the unclaimed “deposits”.
Warehouses full of pallets of motors, they can’t keep up with the demand.

I’m Irish and living in Denmark where returning bottles is the norm. Machines like this aren’t the norm here at all so they would never be in Ireland not until they’re common in Denmark and Sweden too. This return system would be rare in Sweden too for sure
