Bottle return saga. 3 weeks ago I was in Germany for an hour to buy a train ticket. I bought a bottle of drink to drink on the way home. Knowing I would be back in Germany soon. I stuck the empty bottle in the bottle cage of my bike.
Today at a different German railway station. I just handed it to the person selling me another drink and some chocolate.
No need to find a machine to return it. No fucking about with an app that only works if you have a German bank account.
