need to try other machines... it test your luck ones... either full or empty but cannot accept as somehow barcodes not able to scan at that machines or unknown reasons not able to accept...

tried 2 machines; both empty but cannot accept... the third one can accept but the smell

Really ridiculous!
That time I just had 2 cans. Happened to pass by machine so tried to return. In the end the 2 cans jammed on the conveyer belt. Forget it. I just take it that I dropped 20 cents.

Today moi lost 10 cents helping a foreign worker bro return bottles/cans
Really helping him hor, he was there at the machine, not the other kind of "help" in returning the can/bottles.

Anyway, the foreign worker bro wasted like 10 mins trying to return 3 cans, but he didn't understand how to use PayLah, so the machine printed 3x refund tickets (each 10 cents). A few other fellow Sinkies and I try to explain but I don't know if he understand. So end up I gave him my hard-earned 3x 10 cent Singapore coins and take his 3 tickets.

So just now when I was taking a break from Grab, moi took the chance to scan the tickts. Moi noticed that the new refund ticket got a QR code to scan and it will auto-key in the refund details. You just need to provide your name, bank account details and phone. Then wait 10 business days.

While scanning the tickets moi found out that 1 ticket out of the 3 have already been scanned (the system is smart enough to detect repeat scans, duh)! So therefore I lost 10c today.

Thank you for listening to my TED Talk

My condolences. Hope the bottle is fine now.

Think see this kind with big bag walk away liao. If in town centre just look for another supermakert.

 

[rarenick]

this scheme is a total failure

No... It benefited the machine provider and related services and related parties. This whole thing only consumers will lose out.

 

[Shion]

this scheme is a joke

 

[Can Or Not]

Sibei troublesome…

Every time I want to get back 10 cents need to waste 35 minutes, horrible!

Go during less busy time. Middle of the day in between meal time. And if consume at home, just save it up into a small bag before bring to recycle. If outside drink, one container only, just rinse abit and keep in bag for later opportunity to recycle. Don't see why there is a need to wait at the recycle machine.

Another photo, another news, I think our govt is numb and consider this as part of "margin of error". Have BCRS or no BCRS, people will still be doing the same thing. And our dumpster diving % likely in line with world standard.

Maybe we should get hold of our MP mobile numbers and send them these photo. Then they do not have reason to say, "I am not aware."
