Mistakes happen, they are human.

In a Rewe branch, an extremely faulty sign makes it to a deposit machine, customers are puzzled.

Munich – Anyone who goes shopping in a supermarket or discounter sometimes not only has to pay money, they even get some.

If customers bring empties back to the store, they get a receipt printed out at the deposit machine.

It is worth real money and can be redeemed at the checkout at Aldi, Lidl, Penny, Rewe, Edeka, Kaufland or other retail companies.

Some particularly avid collectors of empties keep coming up with unbelievable sums of money.

The deposit voucher from a Real customer recently amounted to almost 800 euros.

However, not all supermarket employees understand such extensive collection of deposits, as a Rewe employee recently confessed.

Rewe customer discovers a sign with misspellings on the deposit machine – “It has been killing me for weeks”

Meanwhile, a sign on a deposit machine in a Rewe branch caused a stir.

However, this was not about limiting the amount of bottles and cans sold.

Rather, the inscription on the sign was noted with surprise.

A Twitter user published a photo showing the said deposit machine and sign.

"I'm not free from mistakes, I make typos every now and then.

But this sign in our Rewe has been killing me for weeks," he wrote in his tweet.

In the picture you can see a yellow sign, on which it is written in German, which is mostly not quite correct: "Glass bottles, cans, disposable plastic bottles, returnable plastic bottles, boxes, yogurt glass/milk bottles." And apparently the numerous ones fell Nobody in the workforce is mistaken; according to the customer, the sign has been hanging on the machine for a long time.

"It's similar at our supermarket," wrote another Twitter user in the comments.

In his opinion, many employees have deficits in both speaking and writing German.

"Uiuiui, my fingers would be itching to take a sharpie with me and paint over every mistake with a smiley," said one user.

"I have so many puns on my mind," admitted another.

"Is that what the boss wrote?" asked another user.

The author of the tweet added that his employer was not far off with flawless language either.

"A colleague posted a job advertisement for us on Instagram," he wrote: "Two sentences, a dozen mistakes.

I asked her about it.

Her comment: It's not that bad."

Rewe-Schild has endless spelling mistakes – no proofreading by superiors?

It remained unclear whether in the case in question at Rewe it was also due to the ignorance of an employee that such a faulty sign got to the deposit machine.

It is possible that a Rewe employee whose native language is not German and who needs help was entrusted with writing the deposit machine sign.

It could also be that the author suffers from dyslexia and cannot be held responsible for his mistakes.

In both cases, a Rewe colleague with a good command of the language could have checked the text on the sign, but apparently this did not happen.

The criticism of one user went in a similar direction: "There is spelling correction software, and important things can also be proofread.

There's really no excuse for that.

Structural error, management responsibility,” he commented on the case.

Meanwhile, a sign at a discounter sparked a completely different discussion.

A Lidl notice caused a dispute about the name of the product on offer.
