Today I got gifted four cans of Tyskie directly chilled from Poland. Its one of my Favuorites - but you still don't have Pfand.

You guys should step up and demand it immediately. Ecologically we admire + require you but still you don't require returing back aluminium cans. Nor plastic/etc. bottles. And I am assuming neither at glass bottles.

You guys should go onto the streets for 100% compatibility with your silenced Neighbours. Lets strenghten our civilian bonds <3.

Its like the requirement of catalyst after 1999. The snow at last was white(ish) again.

This is essential identical to the German way, except here we have a deposit 0,25 € per single use bottle. However, in Germany, shops that don't sell e.g. metal cans or single use glass bottles (e.g. beer with twist off lock) or don't sell single use containers at all, don't have to take these back.
With multi use glass bottles it is mostly uncomplicated. You only may experience issues when you have bought e.g. beer in a fancy bottle type (e.g. foreign beer or beer from a small brewery) that you rarely find in other shops.
When you go to large shops e.g. Kaufland you get the same experience like in Sweden at ICA, Coop, City Gross or Willy's where you simply put everything, single use and multi use, into a single automat and get a voucher afterwards. At our local (smaller) EDEKAs and REWEs you sometimes don't have that much luck.
Pantamera!

I just visit TrinkGut for Pfand. They haven't denied me anything ever, probably because there's also people working at the store scanning your Pfand bottles
