A Kaufland customer posted his receipt on Facebook with the appeal “Be careful”.
Has everyone really noticed what he's pointing out?
Ahlen - “Do you need the receipt?” Many customers answer this question with “No, thank you” and have the cashier throw the piece of paper away.
It shows again and again that a closer look is worthwhile and can even save you money.
Be it just because the supermarket or the person at the checkout made a mistake.
A Kaufland customer once posted such an example with the note “Be careful”.
Another person only noticed a receipt entry when it was too late and was then able to “k... in the beam”.
“Be careful”: Kaufland customer points out disposable deposits on milk drink bottles
However, the extra amount that a Kaufland customer in Ahlen (NRW) found on his receipt is completely justified.
Nevertheless, he addressed the public with the message “Be careful” and posted a photo of the receipt with two white squiggles on Facebook.
How come?
This is very easy to explain: the one-way deposit was expanded at the turn of the year.
This now applies not only to cans or disposable bottles for soft drinks or water.
But also for milk drinks in plastic bottles.
Many people in Germany may have noticed this, but certainly not everyone.
And it's about cash: If you dispose of your plastic milk bottles as usual, you're throwing money away!
Specifically, the Facebook customer bought three Müllermilch bottles from Kaufland, each of which had a 25 cent disposable deposit, according to the receipt.
“We were at Kaufland today.
I noticed this (circles) on the receipt.
Deposit for Müllermilch plastic bottles,” he writes with a note to be careful.
“It’s new since January 1st.”: The new deposit rule is already known – but is it also known to everyone?
This is apparently at least partially known in those around him.
“Since January 1st.
Mandatory” and “It’s new since January 1st,” it says in the comments.
“I know.
But because it’s still new, you have to get used to it first,” replies the Kaufland customer.
With his posting he probably hoped to enlighten everyone who didn't notice anything about it.
If in doubt, customers should simply check whether their container has a disposable logo on it - and then redeem it for 25 cents via a deposit machine after drinking it.
A young man named Franz from Brandenburg became the deposit Croesus: his empties receipt was so high that he framed it for himself.
