Meijer bottle return – still wide open
If you’ve been to any store with a bottle return, chances are you’ve seen these before.
About a year ago, I had noticed that most Meijer stores leave the front doors of these bottle returns unlocked. This means anyone can open up the door, cause damage to the machine, or even steal the paper used for bottle returns to create their own slips at home. Most Wal-Mart locations are also guilty of leaving the front door open. When I had asked an employee why they would leave them unlocked, the answer was disappointing. It was so they didn’t have to “find a key” in their “back room”. What’s the point of even having a lock then?
The employee also stated that they have had issues in the past regarding forged bottle return slips. Nice eh?
